Industry has a large carbon footprint. Fuel is burned in large amounts for such purposes as smelting metals, generating electricity, and moving industrial products around in various types of vehicles.
China is the biggest annual producer of greenhouse gases, recently overtaking the US. The US remains historically the country that has put the most greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. China is catching up here.
A fridge itself does not directly produce a greenhouse gas. However, the electricity used to run a fridge can produce greenhouse gases depending on the source of the electricity (e.g., fossil fuels).
Hydrogen itself is not a greenhouse gas. When used as fuel, the combustion of hydrogen does not produce carbon dioxide or methane, two major greenhouse gases. However, the production of hydrogen can generate greenhouse gas emissions depending on the method used, such as steam methane reforming.
False. While coal use in the US does produce a significant amount of greenhouse gas emissions, it does not account for the majority of emissions. Other sectors such as transportation and industry also contribute significant amounts of greenhouse gases.
Agriculture contributes to the greenhouse effect mainly through livestock production and rice cultivation. Livestock, especially cows, produce methane through digestion, which is a potent greenhouse gas. Rice cultivation emits methane as well from flooded paddies. Additionally, agriculture can lead to deforestation, which reduces the capacity of the land to absorb carbon dioxide, further contributing to the greenhouse effect.
European nations had well-defined infrastructures.The Industrial Revolution gave an advantage to industrialized nations because they were better able to produce commerce and send it off at an incredible rat. Non-industrialized nations did not have the technology to compete.

The Industrial Revolution gave European nations many advantages including some that were not related to non-industrialized actions. For instance, the Industrial revolution gave these nations more political power and better economic strength.

The industrialization of European nations gave them more advanced forms of transportation. It also created more jobs and led to a more prosperous economy since more products were able to be created.

Renewable energy sources produce no greenhouse gases.Examples are solar, hydro, wind, wave, tidal, geothermal, biomass, biofuel and others.
Solar energy fits this description. It is abundant, renewable, and available nearly everywhere on the planet. Solar power generation does not produce greenhouse gas emissions and cannot be monopolized or rationed by nations.
Nuclear energy does not produce greenhouse gases during the electricity generation process. The main byproduct is radioactive waste, which needs to be stored safely.
A fridge itself does not directly produce a greenhouse gas. However, the electricity used to run a fridge can produce greenhouse gases depending on the source of the electricity (e.g., fossil fuels).
