  2. List of locations and entities by greenhouse gas emissions

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_locations_and...

    Emissions attributed to specific power stations around the world, color-coded by type of fuel used at the station. Lower half focuses on Europe and Asia [1]. This article is a list of locations and entities by greenhouse gas emissions, i.e. the greenhouse gas emissions from companies, activities, and countries on Earth which cause climate change.

    x emissions also reduce ambient levels of methane, another greenhouse gas, resulting in a climate cooling effect, though not offsetting the O 3 forming effect. Aircraft sulfur and water emissions in the stratosphere tend to deplete O 3, partially offsetting the NO x-induced O 3 increases, although these effects have not been quantified. [10]

    In 2016, the global average temperature was already 1.1°C above pre-industrial levels. [15] According to the review of the scientific literature conducted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), carbon dioxide is the most important anthropogenic greenhouse gas by warming contribution. [16]

    They are measured in carbon dioxide-equivalents over a 100-year timescale. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 6th assessment report finds that the "Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU)" sector on average, accounted for 13–21% of global total anthropogenic GHG emissions in the period 2010–2019. [ 4 ]

    Land-use change, such as deforestation, caused about 31% of cumulative emissions over 1870–2022, coal 32%, oil 24%, and gas 10%. [3] [4] Carbon dioxide is the main greenhouse gas resulting from human activities. It accounts for more than half of warming. Methane (CH 4) emissions have almost the same short-term impact. [5]

    Carbon dioxide is often mentioned in the context of its increased influence as a greenhouse gas since the pre-industrial (1750) era. In 2013, the increase in CO 2 was estimated to be responsible for 1.82 W m −2 of the 2.63 W m −2 change in radiative forcing on Earth (about 70%).

    World map of emission intensity (kg of CO 2 per Intl$), 2018. The following list of countries by carbon intensity of GDP sorts countries by their emission intensity.Carbon intensity or emission intensity of GDP is a measure that evaluates the amount of carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions produced per unit of GDP.
