Environment topic is increasingly at stake: it is simply of great significance especially insofar as its problems are mitigated by safeguard policies. These include the very source of them: economic growth which is closely related to environmental degradation. The impacts on nature are first and foremost caused by human behavior and its plea for economic growth. This study intends to determine in what extent there is actually a relationship between the emanations of CO2 and economic growth to the countries of South American concerning the 1980-2008´s. That relation is described according to EKC or inverted - U developed by Kuznets. In that, one employes certain variables, indeed, they are functioning as variables of control and are the following: Economic opening, technological improvements, Scale Effect, Population density. With the descriptive statistics at hand, one ensures that the income (GDPpc) is in terms of variable of control the one which has the so-called higher correlation to the emanation of CO2pc. Furthermore that can be considered both the side effect and at the same time the solution to the environmental problem. In order one can measure this result, one estimates four panel data models, but only on the first one the relationship is perceived in terms of inverted - U. Yet one must be careful with the result mentioned, for the variables of control are not handled here. Indeed, one ends up by showing the EKC hypothesis is not reached achieved.
