Why does that US produce more carbon dioxide than any other country?

The US is far worse than Canada, but the reason is that in the US, we have a lifestyle that consumes much more than in other places. In other words, we use more gasoline because we drive more (and have bigger cars and SUVs), we use more electricity because we have more appliances (and they are bigger and more powerful) and we use them more often, and we use more raw materials because we throw away a lot of things that are built to be disposable. On a per capita basis, Americans consume about 30 times more raw materials than somebody living in Africa!

∙ 15y agoThe US is the largest contributor to the world greenhouse gas burden because of its intensive use of fuel in transportations, its energy use for the generation of electrical power using hydrocarbon fuels and its manufacturing sector which is energy intensive.
At about 24 t0nne CO2/person and 3600 M tonne/yr for the country, the USA is the world's largest producer of carbon dioxide. To this amount should be added carbon dioxide produced by countries like Canada which produces the gas and oil for US consumption. By comparison China produces less than 4000 M tonne/yr for the country and 3 tonnes/yr per person.

How are forest and other living things on Earth important to us?
It produce air and carbon dioxide for us
Why is Carbon produced when something is burnt?
Technically, carbon is not produced when something is burned. Carbon dioxide is produced. And only if the substance being burned contains carbon compounds. Burning separates the carbon from the other elements in the compound and combines it with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide.
Does plants change carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide?
plants do not change carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide. they, on the other hand, convert carbon dioxide in to oxygen.
What other combustion reactions would produce carbon dioxide and water vapor?
Any combustion of an organic material produce carbon dioxide and water vapors.
Does the oxygen burned from fire turn into carbon dioxide?
Not on its own, and it depends on what is burning. A fire can only produce carbon dioxide if the substance burning with the oxygen contains carbon. And even then, if there are other elements, you will get more substances as products. Carbon will produce carbon dioxide and usually some carbon monoxide as well. Hydrogen will produce water vapor. Sulfur will produce sulfur dioxide. Magnesium will produce magnesium oxide.

Would you tired if you sleep under a tree because of its carbon dioxide at night?
Trees don't produce carbon dioxide; living things do, such as us humans. They breathe carbon dioxide. In other words, carbon dioxide is to them like oxygen is to us.
What happens during the CalvinBenson cycle or dark reaction?
the final product of the calvin benson cycle used to produce glucose is?
How does carbon dioxide influence how plants produce glucose?
Carbon dioxide levels influence how many sugars(glucose) a plant can produce greatly. This is because 6 molecules of water and 6 molecules of carbon dioxide will release a sugar through series of reactions. So if you have many carbon dioxide molecules it makes it a lot easier for a plant or any other photoautotroph.
