Who is the largest emitter of greenhouse gases?
MethaneMan is the biggest emitter of methane, releasing 330 teragrams (megatons, or million tons) every year. This comes from energy production, landfills, cattle raising, waste treatment and the burning of biomass. This compares with 20 tg from termites, and 15 tg from the oceans.Carbon Dioxide (CO2)Nature emits most Carbon Dioxide into the atmosphere, about 220 gigatons (thousand million tons) a year, though this is all removed by the carbon cycle. Human activities (the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and deforestation (cutting down trees which previously removed carbon dioxide from the atmosphere) is responsible for 11 gigatons a year. About 57% of this is removed by the carbon cycle (into the biosphere and the oceans) but the rest is gradually building up year by year with no way of removing it.
What is the main ingredient in air?
By volume it is nitrogen. Nitrogen form ~ 79% Oxygen forms ~ 20% The remaing 1% is composed of water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane, ammonia, sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and the noble(inert) gases. Although, humans live in 'fear and trembling' on the level of carbon dioxide in the atmopsphere, it is actually extremely low, by volume, compenent of the atmosphere.
What country do you think is the largest contributor to global warming?
The United States for decades was the largest emitter of greenhouse gas, but within the last few years has been eclipsed by China. Per capita, the US remains one of the larger emitters of CO2.
Where is the largest store of nitrogen?
In the atmosphere.
What is the largest reservoir of nitrogen?
The atmosphere.
What nation is the largest emitter of carbon dioxide?
What nation is the largest emitter of carbon dioxide?
Which country is the largest emmiter on carbondioxode?
China is the largest emitter of CO2. It nearly doubles the next highest, the US.
What country do you think is the largest contibutor to global warming?
The US was for decades the largest single emitter of greenhouse gas. In the last few years China recently eclipsed the US as the largest emitter. China has about 4 times the population of the United States.
What Is Asia is the world's largest emitter of what?
helium
what Asia is the world's largest emitter of what?

Which is the largest current in a pnp transistor?
emitter current
What state is the largest emitter of greenhouse gases?
NY
What is the main cause of increased carbon dioxide?
The increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is a combination of increased input from vehicles and industry, and a decreased outtake due to large amounts of trees being cut down and not replaced.
Who is the largest emitter of green house gases in India?
Automobiles
Which source adds the largest amount of sulfur dioxide emissions to the atmosphere?
This is the combustion of fossil fuels as coal, petroleum and derivates.
Which is the largest of three transistor current?
Emitter current is the sum of collector current & base current , hence the largest. Base current is the smallest.
What is the source of carbon dioxide for water plants?
Carbon dioxide in the oceans primarily comes from the atmosphere. Some of the carbon dioxide from the air dissolves into the ocean water. However, smaller amounts can come from respiration of sea animals and other miscellaneous sources. The atmosphere is by far the largest source of carbon dioxide in ocean water, though.
