This is a list of U.S. states and territories by carbon dioxide emissions for energy use, [1] [2] as well as per capita [3] [4] and by area. [ 5 ] The state with the highest total carbon dioxide emissions is Texas and the lowest is Vermont .
In 2020, 27% of the GHG emissions of the United States were from transportation, 25% from electricity, 24% from industry, 13% from commercial and residential buildings and 11% from agriculture. [13] U.S. energy-related CO2 emissions decreased by 3% in 2023, amounting to a reduction of approximately 134 million metric tons (MMmt).
For example, in the main international treaty on climate change (the UNFCCC), countries report on emissions produced within their borders, e.g., the emissions produced from burning fossil fuels. [ 61 ] : 179 [ 62 ] : 1 Under a production-based accounting of emissions, embedded emissions on imported goods are attributed to the exporting, rather ...
In 2023, global GHG emissions reached 53.0 Gt CO 2 eq (without Land Use, land Use Change and Forestry). The 2023 data represent the highest level recorded and experienced an increase of 1.9% or 994 Mt CO 2 eq compared to the levels in 2022. The majority of GHG emissions consisted of fossil CO 2 accounting for 73.7% of total emissions. [7]
A carbon bomb, or climate bomb, [34] is any new extraction of hydrocarbons from underground whose potential greenhouse gas emissions exceed 1 billion tonnes of CO 2 worldwide. In 2022, a study showed that there are 425 fossil fuel extraction projects (coal, oil and gas) with potential CO2 emissions of more than 1 billion tonnes worldwide.
ChatGPT only produces 1.59 grams of CO2 per page view—compared with Rytr’s 10.1 and Spellbook’s 6.5. On the other hand, ChatGPT—which boasts more than 164 million monthly users—is ...
Today, atmospheric CO 2 levels are monitored at about 100 sites around the globe through the Global Greenhouse Gas Reference Network. [19] Measurements at many other isolated sites have confirmed the long-term trend shown by the Keeling Curve, [ 20 ] although no sites have as long a record as Mauna Loa .
