Reducing emissions of the socalled greenhouse gases, such as CO 2 or CH 4 is not the only solution to curb the greenhouse effect International organisations also agree on the following recommendations Use renewable energy Use public transport and other nonpolluting means, such as electric vehicles or bicyclesThe answer may not be as clear as one might assume, because the top emitters change depending on how the data is collected and whatAs is the case with CO2 emissions, China is the world's largest emitter of greenhouse gases today It emits around twice as much as the United States, which is the second largest emitter This is followed by India, Indonesia and Russia However, this is not the case when we adjust for population and look at per capita emissions

Move Closer to Work—Transportation is the second leading source of greenhouse gas emissions in the US (burning a single gallon of gasoline produces pounds of CO 2) But it doesn't have toGreenhouse Gases CHAPTER 4 Why some gases are greenhouse gases, but most aren't, and some are stronger than others About Gases The layer model is what is called an idealization of the real world It has the essential ingredient of the greenhouse effect, but it is missing numerous things that are important in the real atmosphere Starting from the Layer Model, the next few In which case, it would be the world's largest economies China, the United States and Europe That is not entirely fair, though China argues that for each person, the country emits far fewer greenhouse gases If we take a per capita measure, then those countries that produce fossil fuels, and export them, come top of the table
A community wide inventory and a " Carbon " is shorthand for greenhouse gas emissions, including CO2, methane, nitrous oxide and Fgases These gases are released by many different types of activity –Let's consider the principal GHGs one at a time, starting with water vapor, the most abundant greenhouse gas in the atmosphere according to NOAA's National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) Water Vapor Carbon Dioxide (CO 2) Methane (CH 4) Nitrous oxide (N 2 O) Fluorinated Gases (HFCs, PFCs, SF 6) References and Resources
Greenhouse Gases Carbon Dioxide, Nitrous Oxide, Methane Share of Global GHG Emissions 103% Virgin Amazon rainforest borders an area of jungle destroyed to make way for farms in Brazil Deforestation, forest degradation and decay, forest and peat fires and other land use changes are responsible for over 10 percent of global emissionsCarbon dioxide (CO 2) makes up the vast majority of greenhouse gas emissions from the sector, but smaller amounts of methane (CH 4) and nitrous oxide (N 2 O) are also emitted These gases are released during the combustion of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas 3 India 265GT 4 Russian Federation 171GT 5 Japan 116GT 6 Germany 075GT 7 Islamic Republic of Iran 072GT 8 South Korea 065GT 9 Saudi Arabia 062GT 10 Indonesia 061GT 11 Canada 056GT 12 Mexico 047GT 13 South Africa 046GT 14 Brazil 045GT 15 Turkey 042GT 16 Australia 042GT 17 United Kingdom 037GT 18 Poland
1)Is a colorless gas that is a byproduct of the combustion of organic matter 2)It makes up less than 004% of Earths atmosphere 3)Most of this was put there by volcanic activity very early in the planets life Humans activities are pumping huge amounts of CO2 into the atmosphereOf the six greenhouse gases, three are of primary concern because they're closely associated with human activities Carbon dioxide is the main contributor to climate change, especially through the burning of fossil fuels Methane is produced naturally when vegetation is burned, digested or rotted without oxygen Oil and gas production, cattleThere is no question that increased levels of greenhouse gases must cause Earth to warm in response Ice cores drawn from Greenland, Antarctica, and tropical mountain glaciers show that Earth's climate responds to changes in greenhouse gas levels Ancient evidence can also be found in tree rings, ocean sediments, coral reefs, and layers of sedimentary rocks This ancient, or
The Top Ten Greenhouse Gases 1 Water Vapor Yes, according to the IPCC, steam accounts for 3670 percent of the greenhouse effect Fog, haze and 2 Carbon Dioxide Despite getting all the press, carbon dioxide only ranks as the second largest contributor to global 3 Methane The main Indonesia is among the world's top three greenhouse gas emitters because of deforestation, peatland degradation and forest fires, a report sponsored by the World Bank and Britain's development arm The per capita No 1 spot goes to Qatar, with Gulf States making up 3 of the top 4 The US is ranked 8th, behind Australia at 7th Looking at per capita figures rather than nationallevel totals could help bring the reality of the climate crisis closer to individuals For example, a person may feel their decision to use lesspolluting forms of transport is pointless in comparison to the
15 by 33% community wide and by 37% for government operations The City is committed to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions It plans to set a reduction target in line with that of Miami Dade County and the state of Florida Two greenhouse gas emissions inventories will be compiled annually;Carbon dioxide from the burning of fossil fuels is the largest single source of greenhouse gas emissions from human activities The supply and use of fossil fuels accounts for about three quarters of mankind's carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions (equal to some 59 billion metric tonnes of carbon in 1992), onefifth of the methane (CH 4), and a significant quantity of nitrous oxide (N 2According to the CDP, between 19 and 15, 100 companies were responsible for 71% of global GHG emissions The Carbon Majors Database report names the following 10 companies as those which belch most carbon dioxide into the atmosphere China Coal 143 % Saudi Aramco 45 % Gazprom OAO 39 % National Iranian Oil Co 23 % ExxonMobil Corp
Hudson Technologies makes industrial products used in everything from commercial air cooling to refrigeration This includes the production of refrigerants, industrial gasses, system decontamination, and more It utilizes its Zugibeast System, which is a portable device used in onthego maintenance of critical services You might be thinking, "Well, what does this have to doGreenhouse gases that occur both naturally and from human activities include water vapor, carbon dioxide (CO 2), methane (CH 4), nitrous oxide (N 2 O) and ozone (O 3) Other greenhouse gases have essentially no natural sources, but are side products of industrial processes or manufactured for human purposes such as cleaning agents, refrigerants, and electrical insulators These To prevent severe climate change we need to rapidly reduce global greenhouse gas emissions The world emits around 50 billion tonnes of greenhouse gases each year measured in carbon dioxide equivalents (CO 2 eq) 1 To figure out how we can most effectively reduce emissions and what emissions can and can't be eliminated with current technologies, we need to
It provides data based on a productionbased accounting of emissions of carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, perfluorocarbon, hydrofluorocarbon, and sulfur hexafluoride (meaning emissions within the territory of the given country), compiled by the World Resources Institute and divided by the population estimate by the United Nations (for July 1) of the same yearFigure 71 Rise in the concentrations of greenhouse gases since the 18th century As we will see in section 73, simple theory shows that a rise in greenhouse gases should result in surface warming;That's because greenhouse gases are trapping heat in the lower atmosphere Climate models that include solar irradiance changes can't reproduce the observed temperature trend over the past century or more without including a rise in greenhouse gases References IPCC Fifth Assessment Report, 14 United States Global Change Research Program, "Global Climate Change Impacts
Today, about a fifth of global carbon emissions come from raising farm animals for meat For example, as cattle digest food, they burp, releasing methane, a powerful greenhouse gas, and their manure releases the greenhouse gases carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide And forests, which take carbon dioxide out of the air, are often cut down so that cattle have space to grazeAdditional trace gases produced by industrial activity that have greenhouse properties include nitrous oxide (N 2 O) and fluorinated gases (halocarbons) The latter includes sulfur hexafluoride, hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), and perfluorocarbons (PFCs) Just 100 companies are responsible for more than 70 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions over the last three decades, new research has revealed The Carbon Majors Report, from the Carbon
Direct emissions from aviation account for about 3% of the EU's total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions The large majority of these emissions comes from international flights, ie flights between two Member States or between a Member State and a nonEU country This figure does not include indirect warming effects, such as those from NOSince the Industrial Revolution, rising emissions of greenhouse gases—including carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and others—have been the driving force behind climate change Who is responsible for emitting the most greenhouse gases? What are the three main greenhouse gases?
Greenhouse gases come from all sorts of everyday activities, such as using electricity, heating our homes, and driving around town The graph to the right shows which activities produce the most greenhouse gases in the United States These greenhouse gases don't just stay in one place after they're added to the atmosphere As air moves around the world, greenhouse gases becomeThe uncertainty lies in the magnitude of the responseIt is well established that the global mean surface temperature of the Earth has increased over the past century by about 06 KCarbon dioxide/CO 2 (other) 28%;
According to NOAA's 19 Annual Greenhouse Gas Index (right axis), the combined heating influence of all major greenhouse gases has increased by 45% relative to 1990 Graph by NOAA Climategov based on data from NOAA ESRL According to the 19 AGGI report, the combined heating influence of the longlived, humanproduced greenhouse gases is 3*green house gasses affects* *explanation* WHAT I THINK GREENHOUSE GASSES are What I think greenhouse gases are Greenhouse gases are the gases that some factories emit ITS AFFECTS ON US It affects us by causing some health problems, especially respiratory diseases likeSome of the numbers shown in Figure 33 depend on the state of the atmosphere, for example, its temperature, greenhouse gas content, cloud distribution, and wind distribution Others depend on the temperature of the land and ocean surfaces and/or on the ice cover Changes in any and all of these characterizing features can produce changes in the individual heat fluxes and, in particular
Some of the greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, perfluorocarbons, sulfur hexafluoride, ozone, water vapor and a few others The process of creating electricity, running cars, using landfills and making chemicals are some of the top ways we are releasing more and more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere The good news is, according to the EnvironmentalOn the other hand, if our goal is to stabilize longterm greenhouse gas concentrations, we would be better served by focusing purely on CO 2 emissions Figure 121 Greenhouse Gas Emissions By Gas 04 Click for a text description of Greenhouse Gas Emissions by Gas 04 Carbon dioxide/CO 2 fossilfuel use 566%; Greenhouse gases are components of the atmosphere that contribute to the greenhouse effect Some greenhouse gases occur naturally in the atmosphere, while others result from human activities such
