List of locations and entities by greenhouse gas emissions
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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. The relevant greenhouse gases are mainly: Carbon dioxide, Methane, Nitrous oxide and the fluorinated gases[2] bromofluorocarbon, chlorofluorocarbon, hydrochlorofluorocarbon,[3] hydrofluorocarbon,[4] nitrogen trifluoride,[3] perfluorocarbons and sulfur hexafluoride[4]
The extraction and subsequent use of fossil fuels coal, oil and natural gas,[5] as a fuel source, is the largest contributor to global warming.[6]
