greenhouse gases and climate change
... The main greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O). Carbon dioxide emissions are primarily released through the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, gas and peat. In addition, carbon dioxide is emitted through poor land management and land use changes suc ...
