What are two man made sources of greenhouse gases?
The largest source of CO2 emissions globally is the combustion of fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas in power plants, automobiles, industrial facilities and other sources.
What percentage do vehicles contribute to global warming?
Transportation sources (cars, trucks, etc.) emit approximately 29 percent of total U.S. greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in 2006. Transportation is also:the fastest-growing source of U.S. GHGs, it produced 47 percent of the net increase in total U.S. emissions since 1990.the largest user source of carbon dioxide (CO2), the most common greenhouse gas.
Is it true that composting yard waste increases the amount of garbage sent to landfills and increases greenhouse gas emissions?
This is not true. Composting REDUCES the amount of garbage, and can, if done properly, reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Where might one find detailed information regarding greenhouse gas emissions?
Most countries have a government website that is partly or wholly dedicated to the observation and tracking of greenhouse gas emissions on either a national or global scale
Why might using other sources of power like wind and solar energy help to slow global warming?
Because renewable energy, like wind and solar, has no greenhouse gas emissions.

What did these countries agree to do?
Reduce greenhouse gas emissions
What percentage do vehicles contribute to global warming?
Transportation sources (cars, trucks, etc.) emit approximately 29 percent of total U.S. greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in 2006. Transportation is also:the fastest-growing source of U.S. GHGs, it produced 47 percent of the net increase in total U.S. emissions since 1990.the largest user source of carbon dioxide (CO2), the most common greenhouse gas.
Which fossil fuel produces no greenhouse gas emissions?
they all do when BURNED
Who is responsible for the highest total annual greenhouse gas emissions?
China.
Is it true that composting yard waste increases the amount of garbage sent to landfills and increases greenhouse gas emissions?
This is not true. Composting REDUCES the amount of garbage, and can, if done properly, reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
What is an international treaty designed to lower greenhouse gas emissions ?
kyoto protocol
Where might one find detailed information regarding greenhouse gas emissions?
Most countries have a government website that is partly or wholly dedicated to the observation and tracking of greenhouse gas emissions on either a national or global scale
What energy source generates the least gases?
Renewable energy produces practically no greenhouse gases, compared to fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). Hydroelectric power has very little greenhouse gas emissions associated with it. Wind and solar power tend to have low emissions. Geothermal energy also has low emissions. Nuclear power has some greenhouse gas emissions associated with the mining and refining of uranium ore, but not a lot.
What has the author Geetesh Bhardwaj written?
Geetesh Bhardwaj has written: 'Global greenhouse gas emissions' -- subject(s): Greenhouse gases
Why might using other sources of power like wind and solar energy help to slow global warming?
Because renewable energy, like wind and solar, has no greenhouse gas emissions.
