Each Canadian is responsible for about 18 tonnes of greenhouse gas in a year.
Like most industrialized nations Canada develops inventories of all pollutants each year through Stats Canada, Environment Canada and the NPRI. These indicate GHGs as well as other pollutants. The data at the links indicates values of slightly over 650 tonne per year. With a population of about 34,482,779, the per capita Canadian GHG production from human activities would be about 18 tonnes per year.
What else can I help you with?
Water and carbon dioxide are they the two largest contributors to Earth's greenhouse effect and are largely responsible for Earth's climate?
Water vapor and carbon dioxide are indeed significant greenhouse gases, contributing to the Earth's greenhouse effect and influencing the climate. Water vapor is the most abundant greenhouse gas, but carbon dioxide has a longer atmospheric lifetime and can have a more sustained impact on the climate system due to human activities such as burning fossil fuels.
Why is it called global?
It is called global warming because of greenhouse effect.and greenhouse effect happens when there is too much greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. Greenhouse gas is used for trapping some of the sun's heat for the earth's warmth.And when there are too much Greenhouse gas, all of the sun's heat gets trapped inside the earth, causing the earth's temperature to rise. Greenhouse effect is normally caused by human activities such as burning fossil fuels.
What gas is the biggest greenhouse gas?
Depends on your understanding of the term "biggest":The largest volume of naturally occurring greenhouse gas is water vapour.The largest volume or tonnage of manmade greenhouse gases is carbon dioxide.The most potent is Sulfur Hexafluoride (SF6) which has a greenhouse gas impact 23,900 times that of carbon dioxide.
Is it true that carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas?
The most common greenhouse gas for the natural greenhouse effect is water vapour. Man has no control over its levels. When it gets too high, it falls as rain.The most common greenhouse gas responsible for the accelerated greenhouse effect is carbon dioxide (CO2), the high levels of which we are responsible for. CO2 is having the largest effect on the recent increases in global temperature.
What gasses are in the green house gas?
The main gas is water vapor, which is responsible for up between 40% and 70% of greenhouse warming. However as this occurs naturally it is not possible to regulate it. The next one is carbon dioxide (26%), then methane (9%) and ozone (7%). There are others too, but these are the main ones. There are many gases which contribute to the greenhouse effect. Some have a more potent effect than others. The following are considered to be greenhouse gases, the number after the name indicates the equivalent greenhouse gas effect compared to carbon dioxide (the principal man-made greenhouse gas)* Water vapor (H2O) = ? * Carbon dioxide (CO2) = 1 * Methane (CH4) = 21 * Nitrous oxide (N2O) = 298 * Sulfur Hexafluoride (SF6) = 22,200 * Chlorinated fluorocarbons (CFC's) = 1000 to 9000Notes:1. Water vapor is an odd one in the list as it is naturally occurring. It may be responsible for more than 30% of the greenhouse effect.2. CFC's include many different compounds.Carbon Dioxide, Nitrous Oxide, Water Vapor, and Methane.

Why is meat responsible for global warming?
The production process calls for many substances that release greenhouse gasses when used. It's said that producing half a pound of hamburger releases as much greenhouse gas as driving a car 10 miles.
