Your two liknks show per capita and total fossil fuel emissions between 2000 and 2018.
The graph in [2] is subtitled:
Since 2000, rising CO 2 emissions in China and the rest of world have eclipsed the output of the United States and Europe
The graph in [1] is subtitled:
Per person, the United States generates carbon dioxide at a far faster rate than other primary regions.
Of course a country of 1 billion people, like India or China, is going to produce more emissiosn than a country of 330 million, in total, even if each of the smaller country's citizens produces about twice as many as the citizens of every other country in the world.
