Kiribati, a small island nation in the Pacific Ocean, has the smallest carbon footprint. It is particularly vulnerable to sea-level rise from global warming, and its President signed the Bandos Island declaration on 10 November 2009. This was a promise by Kiribati and nine other countries to show moral leadership and start greening their economies by voluntarily committing to carbon neutrality.

∙ 6y agoIn terms of total emissions, China is the largest producer of carbon dioxide emissions, followed by the United States.
However, China is well down the list in terms of emissions per head of population and on this measure, Australia is believed to be the biggest contributor, with the United States close behind.
A:The industrialized countries generally have a larger impact on the emissions held to be responsible for the problem than smaller or agriculturally based countries. Half of all the carbon dioxide emissions from man made e sources come from China (23%), America (18%), The European Union (as a group) (14.8%), India (5.7%) and Russia (5.6%). The remaining 170 or so countries contribute the other 33%.Wiki User

Which sector has the highest CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustions?
Coal has more carbon dioxide emissions than either oil or natural gas.
How does urban sprawl increase carbon dioxide emissions?
Urban sprawl creates and increases carbon dioxide emissions via more vehicles on the roads. More people means more transportation needed. More vehicles on the road creates more carbon dioxide emissions.
Which way would most likely be the quickest way to reduce carbon emissions entering the atmosphere?
passing laws requiring reduction in emissions
Which term is defined as an indicator of how people affect the emissions of greenhouse gases in the environment?
carbon footprint
Why is the increase of atmospheric carbon dioxide less than the amount of carbon dioxide emissions produced by burning of fossil fuels?
Because trees consume carbon dioxide and produce oxygen.
Which country has the highest CO2 emissions per capita?
Qatar.
Which sector has the highest CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustions?
Coal has more carbon dioxide emissions than either oil or natural gas.
What is the carbon footprints?
This is the total emissions of carbon (from CO2 and CH4), expressed in tons, for a country in one year.
Country that causes the most pollution as a result of carbon dioxide emissions?
China
What is the national carbon footprint?
This is the total emissions of carbon (from CO2 and CH4), expressed in tons, for a country in one year.
Is Australia below the world average of total greenhouse gases emissions?
No, in fact, Australia has the highest per capita emissions in the world. That means that the average person in Australia has a carbon footprint larger than a citizen of any other country. (Australia's total emissions are lower than countries with a much larger population.)
What did Julia Gillard do for Australia?
Julia Gillard is the Prime Minister of Australia, and therefore holds the highest political position in the country. In essence, she runs the country.
How do carbon emissions exemplify the tragedy of the commons?
Carbon emissions are not related to the tragedy of the commons. There are not any studies that confirm that carbon emissions contributed in any way.
What month are carbon levels the highest?
January, when nothing is growing in the northern hemisphere, so carbon dioxide builds up from fossil fuel (coal, oil and natural gas) emissions.
What is the difference between carbon credits and Certified emissions rate?
Certified emission rates are a limit on the amount of emissions a company can release into the atmosphere within a given time frame. It is a cap on the emissions itself.Carbon credits looks more at the net carbon emissions. There are companies that plant trees, which reduce the amount of carbon in the air. For their good deeds, they get carbon credits, which they sell to companies that emit carbon. The carbon credits work to offset the actual amount of emissions a company puts out.Note that carbon credits cancel out the emissions, but don't lower emissions at all, unlike a cap on emission rates.
Are carbon emissions released to the air when driving a car?
Yes, in the form of CO2 (carbon dioxide), CO (carbon monoxide) and other carbon emissions, including more or less pure carbon.
Are carbon emissions going to destroy the ozone?
Yes they are. Carbon emissions cause global warming and then they cause ozone depletion.
