Bookmark or Share- CO₂ emissions - Our World in DataCarbon dioxide emissions are the primary driver of global climate change. It's widely recognized that to avoid the worst impacts of climate change, the world needs to urgently reduce emissions. But, how this responsibility is shared between regions, countries, and individuals has been an endless point of contention in international discussions.
- Climate Change: Atmospheric Carbon DioxideIf global energy demand continues to grow rapidly and we meet it mostly with fossil fuels, human emissions of carbon dioxide could reach 75 billion tons per year or more by the end of the century. Atmospheric carbon dioxide could be 800 ppm or higher—conditions not seen on Earth for close to 50 million years.
- Greenhouse gas emissions - WikipediaGreenhouse gas ( GHG) emissions from human activities intensify the greenhouse effect. This contributes to climate change. Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), from burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas, is one of the most important factors in causing climate change.
- CO₂ and Greenhouse Gas Emissions - Our World in DataHuman emissions of greenhouse gases are the primary driver of climate change today. 1. CO 2 and other greenhouse gases like methane and nitrous oxide are emitted when we burn fossil fuels, produce materials such as steel, cement, and plastics, and grow the food we eat.
- Sources of Greenhouse Gas Emissions | US EPACarbon 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, to produce electricity.
