Countries that Emit the Most Greenhouse Gases

Posted on August 15, 2017 at 10:35 AM

As the name reflects, Greenhouse emission is something in the eyes of the whole world, particularly since the dawn of 21st century. The thing is that how these gases are harmful to the earth and how they manage to affect its current climate conditions. These are those gases which are emitted by human activities. There are total six sectors of those kinds of human activities.

Agriculture

Electricity

Transportation

Industrial

Commercial

Residential


Electricity is contributing greatly to the emission of greenhouse gases out of all these activities; it is comprising 30% of the total emission. Along with transportation and industrial emissions, there is about 80 percent emission of the world’s total greenhouse gases are by the human activities. Following that there are 9 percent agricultural emission, 7 percent residential emission and 4 percent commercial emission.

The main greenhouse gases are N2O (Nitrous Oxide), CH4 (Methane), CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) and Fluorinated gases. The role of these greenhouse gases is simple to explain; these gases mess up with the heat of the sun that is provided by us during the day time within the stratosphere of Earth. It is leading it to the fact that our Earth becomes warmer by the every passing by year; thus the procedure is known as global warming. It is a cause and effect, here cause are the greenhouse gases and effect is global warming.


Here we are mentioning those Top five Countries that Emit Most Greenhouse Gases. They are on the top because they alone are enough to generate 60% of the world’s total greenhouse gases.

1: Japan (emits carbon dioxide from 1.23 billion to 1.4 billion tons)

2: Russia (emits co2 from 1.8 billion to 2 billion)

3: India (emits carbon dioxide of 2.3 billion tons)

4: USA (emits CO2 from 5.8 million to 7 million tons)

5: China (emits more than all of the above as it has the figure of 11 billion tons)
