- Sources of Greenhouse Gas Emissions | US EPA
EPA tracks total U S emissions by publishing the Inventory of U S Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks This annual report estimates the total national greenhouse gas emissions and removals associated with human activities across the United States by source, gas, and economic sector
- Greenhouse gas emissions - Wikipedia
Emissions from human activities have increased atmospheric carbon dioxide by about 50% over pre-industrial levels The growing levels of emissions have varied, but have been consistent among all greenhouse gases Emissions in the 2010s averaged 56 billion tons a year, higher than any decade before [2]
- Greenhouse gas emissions - Our World in Data
How much greenhouse gases does the world emit every year? This chart shows the change in global greenhouse gas emissions over time Greenhouse gases are measured in 'carbon dioxide-equivalents' (CO2e) How do greenhouse gas emissions vary across the world?
- Emissions from Fossil Fuels Continue to Rise - Science@NASA
Carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels rose again in 2023, reaching record levels, according to estimates from an international team of scientists The continued rise in emissions from the burning of oil, coal, and natural gas is impeding progress to limit global warming, the scientists said
- California and other states move to regulate emissions disclosure
After the Securities and Exchange Commission declined to implement federal disclosure requirements for greenhouse gas emissions, states are taking up the job California is the first to do so and, as the world’s fourth-largest economy, could set the de facto standard in the U S Several other states now have laws in development
- Understanding emissions: what are they and why do they matter?
Learn what emissions are, their impact on climate change, and how businesses can track and reduce their carbon footprint through carbon accounting and regulations Emissions refer to the release of gases, including carbon dioxide (CO2), methane, nitrous oxide, and others, into the atmosphere
- California continues streak of slashing climate pollution while growing . . .
The latest data underscores a continued trend of steady emissions decline even as the economy continues to grow Between 2000 to 2022, emissions fell by 20% while California’s gross domestic product increased by 78%, pointing to the effectiveness of the state’s climate action
- U. S. Emissions - Center for Climate and Energy Solutions
In 2023, the United States emitted nearly 6 2 billion metric tons of greenhouse gases (CO2e) Carbon dioxide accounted for the largest percentage of greenhouse gases (79%), followed by methane (11%), nitrous oxide (6%), and other greenhouse gases (3%)
