Methane 16% -- Carbon Dioxide (Forestry and Industrial process) 76% -- Nitrous Oxide 6% -- F-Gases 2%
Methane is the most toxic greenhouse gas commonly emitted from landfills and farms. It is estimated to have a global warming potential about 28-36 times that of CO2 over a 100-year period.
The purpose of the Kyoto Protocol was to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases across the globe. 192 nations have signed the Kyoto Protocol, though only 37 of them have binding carbon emission targets.
Yes, gas is a noun. Greenhouse here is an adjective describing 'gas'. Together they make a noun phrase, 'Greenhouse gas'.
Geothermal energy systems typically emit minimal greenhouse gases compared to fossil fuels. The primary greenhouse gas released is carbon dioxide (CO2), although the levels are significantly lower than those from coal or natural gas plants. Other gases, such as methane (CH4) and trace amounts of hydrogen sulfide (H2S), can also be released, but these emissions are generally small in comparison to the overall greenhouse gas emissions from conventional energy sources. Overall, geothermal energy is considered a low-emission energy source.
Emission means leaking out, escaping, sending out etc, The word emission then is used to refer to gas that appears after a chemical process, like burning oil or coal. Carbon dioxide is a gas emitted by the burning.

CO2 acts as an acid when absorbed by the ocean.
Global warming was said to have increased due to greenhouse gas emissions.
To calculate the CO2 equivalent for a greenhouse gas emission, you multiply the amount of the greenhouse gas emitted by its global warming potential (GWP) factor. The GWP factor represents how much heat a gas traps in the atmosphere compared to carbon dioxide over a specific time period, usually 100 years. This calculation helps standardize different greenhouse gases' impacts on global warming by expressing them in terms of carbon dioxide.

Yes, SF6 is a greenhouse gas.

A lot of carbon dioxide emissions are from cars and factories. However, an often overlooked source of greenhouse gas (methane) is cows. Cows actually add more to the greenhouse effect than cars do.
