16 Facts About Greenhouse-gas emissions

1.

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

2.

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

FactSnippet No. 710,388
3.

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

FactSnippet No. 710,389
4.

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

FactSnippet No. 710,390
5.

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

FactSnippet No. 710,391
6.

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

FactSnippet No. 710,392
7.

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

FactSnippet No. 710,393
8.

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

9.

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

FactSnippet No. 710,395
10.

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

FactSnippet No. 710,396
11.

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

FactSnippet No. 710,397
12.

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

FactSnippet No. 710,398
13.

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

FactSnippet No. 710,399
14.

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

FactSnippet No. 710,400
15.

Policies implemented by governments have included national and regional targets to reduce Greenhouse-gas 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.

FactSnippet No. 710,401
16.

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