Greenhouse Gases

Carbon Dioxide (CO₂)

5 elements make up GHG: 3 are relatively small (Water vapor, Nitrous Oxide in fertilizer, and fluorinated gases that replaced Ozone-destroying chemicals.

The other 2 are the most potent:

CO2, which comes from burning of fossil fuels—coal, oil, gas—for generating energy to power our homes, businesses, and vehicles. This element is the greatest contributor to GHG. Curbing our emissions is essential.

With the decrease of cars and trucks on the roads during the COVID-19 worldwide shutdown, CO2 emissions have dropped significantly, giving us a glimpse of what we have been missing and the hope that we can make necessary changes.

With clean, renewable energy sources like solar and wind, we can fulfill our energy needs without the adding to the carbon dioxide emissions that drive climate change.
