causes of increasing greenhouse gases? what country is the largest contributor to global warming?

Question

what types of industries emit the most greenhouse gases

Answer 1

Water vapor is far and away the greatest greenhouse gas (about 90% of the effect). Temperature increases cause a subsequent increase in evaporation rate as well as increase the capacity for the atmosphere to hold water. Temperature increases also cause the oceans to release CO2. It also increases the rates of organic decomposition.

Temperature increases put more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere than man's TOTAL output.

Answer 2

There are several major contributors to greenhouse gases. One is automobiles. Another is power plants running on fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas). Finally, it industries using fossil fuels for heat, steam plants, etc.

Answer 3

Probably China or India.
Fossil fuel burning causes the greatest impact.
These are primarily coal & oil burning industries.
Secondary is rotting garbage producing methane.
These could be converted by scrubbing the gases.
Methane breaks down into carbon-dioxide.
CO2 can be converted back to carbon & oxygen by plants.
We need to replace the grass, trees, & algae destroyed.

Answer 4

China.

China (6.2 billion metric tons) has now surpassed the US (5.8 billion metric tons) as being the biggest emitter of CO2 gases by around 8+%.

Per capita the US spews out the most CO2 gases, at 42,500 pounds. China spews out 10,500 pounds per capita.

Answer 5

well cars do

and big industrial plants all have smoke stacks that let in tons and tons of toxins into the air

Answer 6

The US is the largest contributer.

Answer 7

it is mostly coal being burned and factories being run on coal. well that's not the only reason. the most contributing country is the united states in first, then china in second. it is mostly factory run businesses that are run on coal.

Answer 8

China,they have already overtaken USA by 400M metric tons(6200M metric tons-5800M metric tons)
