Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is emitted whenever gasoline, diesel, aviation fuel or petrol is burnt.

Electric trains and other vehicles mostly use electricity generated in coal-burning power plants, so they are also responsible for carbon dioxide emissions.

How are extra greenhouse gases produced?

Extra greenhouse gases are produced through human activities such as burning fossil fuels for energy, transportation, and industrial processes. Deforestation and agriculture also contribute to increased greenhouse gas emissions by releasing gases like carbon dioxide and methane. These additional greenhouse gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to global warming and climate change.

Production of greenhouse gasses?

The production of greenhouse gasses is harmful to the environment, causing an enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming. The gases emitted include methane and carbon dioxide.


What are the two greenhouse gases in cow manure?

The two main greenhouse gases in cow manure are methane and nitrous oxide. Methane is produced during the digestion process in cows, while nitrous oxide is released during the decomposition of manure. Both gases are potent contributors to global warming and climate change.

Why will catalytic converters not help to solve the problem of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?

Catalytic converters reduce emissions of harmful pollutants that contribute to air pollution and smog, but they do not address greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide that contribute to global warming. Greenhouse gases are mainly produced by burning fossil fuels for energy, transportation, and industrial processes, and require broader strategies such as transitioning to renewable energy sources and improving energy efficiency to address.
