16 Facts About Carbon emissions

1.

The growing levels of Carbon emissions have varied, but it was consistent among all greenhouse gases.

2.

The largest source of anthropogenic methane Carbon emissions is agriculture, closely followed by gas venting and fugitive Carbon emissions from the fossil-fuel industry.

3.

Cumulative Carbon emissions provide some indicators of what is responsible for greenhouse gas atmospheric concentration build-up.

4.

Largest source of anthropogenic methane Carbon emissions is agriculture, closely followed by gas venting and fugitive Carbon emissions from the fossil-fuel industry.

5.

Variations in regional, and national per capita Carbon emissions partly reflect different development stages, but they vary widely at similar income levels.

6.

Global greenhouse gas Carbon emissions can be attributed to different sectors of the economy.

FactSnippet No. 989,793
7.

Manmade greenhouse gas Carbon emissions can be divided into those that arise from the combustion of fuels to produce energy, and those generated by other processes.

8.

Over a quarter of global transport CO2 Carbon emissions are from road freight, so many countries are further restricting truck CO2 Carbon emissions to help limit climate change.

9.

The actual calculation of net emissions is very complex, and is affected by how carbon sinks are allocated between regions and the dynamics of the climate system.

10.

Localised plummeting Carbon emissions associated with the collapse of the Soviet Union have been followed by slow Carbon emissions growth in this region due to more efficient energy use, made necessary by the increasing proportion of it that is exported.

11.

Greenhouse gas footprint refers to the Carbon emissions resulting from the creation of products or services.

FactSnippet No. 989,798
12.

One way of attributing greenhouse gas Carbon emissions is to measure the embedded Carbon emissions of goods that are being consumed.

FactSnippet No. 989,799
13.

Under a production-based accounting of Carbon emissions, embedded Carbon emissions on imported goods are attributed to the exporting, rather than the importing, country.

FactSnippet No. 989,800
14.

Under a consumption-based accounting of Carbon emissions, embedded Carbon emissions on imported goods are attributed to the importing country, rather than the exporting, country.

FactSnippet No. 989,801
15.

Policies implemented by governments have included national and regional targets to reduce Carbon emissions, promoting energy efficiency, and support for a renewable energy transition, such as Solar energy, as an effective use of renewable energy because solar uses energy from the sun and does not release pollutants into the air.

16.

Climate change scenarios or socioeconomic scenarios are projections of future greenhouse gas Carbon emissions used by analysts to assess future vulnerability to climate change.
