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.
Approximately which percent of the total carbon dioxide emissions come from our individual use in the home?
The average Household emits 14 tonnes of green house gas a year
How much automotive exhaust is produced by cars each year?
Vehicle exhaust is mostly carbon dioxide, with a little water, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides. This answer deals with the carbon dioxide content only.Sixteen percent (16%) of human carbon dioxide greenhouse gas emissions comes from road transport (cars, trucks and buses). Cars are responsible for about half of this (8%).Humans are responsible for around 35 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions every year.Car emissions, 8% of that total, is around 2.8 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide (2,800,000,000).
How many tons of greenhouse gases are emitted per person each year in the US?
40 billion tons are emitted by human beings world wide. The US has roughly 5% of the world's total population. But we are responsible for a larger percent than any other country except China, and our emissions exceed those of China on a per capita bases. In all, about 18 metric tons per person.
What is the percent of global warming caused by cars?
In 1999, in the US, more than 30 percent of fossil fuel related carbon dioxide emissions were a direct result of transportation. With about two-thirds of this being from petrol consumption by motor vehicles and the remainder coming from diesel and jet fuel use in lorries and aircraft, respectively. Worldwide, motor vehicles currently emit well over 900 million metric tons of CO2 each year. These emissions account for more than 15 percent of global fossil fuel CO2 releases.
From 1990 to 2000 me the world's most developing economies cut the greenhouse gases emissions from energy production by about?
From 1990 to 2000, the world's most developing economies cut the greenhouse gases emissions from energy production by about 55 percent.

How can you limit global warming?
Reduce the amount of meat you eat. Livestock are responsible for 18 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, a bigger share than that of transport (cars, boats, trains, planes). See the link below.
How are CFL's eco- friendly?
CFL bulbs use 75 percent less energy than incandescent bulbs, and lighting your home is about 20 percent of your energy use. If every home in America replaced just one standard bulb with a CFL, it would reduce greenhouse gas emissions equal to that of about 800,000 cars.
What percent of greenhouse gases in the world are produced by the US?
36%
Approximately which percent of the total carbon dioxide emissions come from our individual use in the home?
The average Household emits 14 tonnes of green house gas a year
What percentage can a HEB reduce emissions as compared to a conventional vehicles?
77 percent =)
By what percentage can a HEV reduce emissions as compared to a conventional vehicle?
77 percent
By what percentage can an HEV reduce emissions as compared tp a convential vehicle?
77 percent )

What percent of the worlds CO2 emissions do you we in the US make?
It is reported to be 50%, which is hard to believe, it might be less.
What are the global warming targets of Mexico after the 2015 Paris Climate Talks?
Actually, Mexico submitted its action plan well ahead of the Paris Talks, on March of 2015. This plan establishes that Mexico is committing itself to peak its greenhouse emissions in 2026 and reduce them by 22% by 2030. The emission reductions will come from the Energy, Industrial, Agriculture, Waste, Land-use and Forestry sectors and will be based on a baseline year of 2013.These plans include:Set a clean energy generation target of 35% by 2024Set the rate of deforestation to 0% by 2030Set (already passed to law) a carbon tax of approximately $US 3.5/tCO2e that applies to fossil fuels based on their carbon content.Reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 30 percent by 2020 and 50 percent by 2050
