Carbon Dioxide: The No. 1 Greenhouse Gas
Carbon dioxide is accounted for about 81.3
percent of all greenhouse gas emissions from
human activities (The United States
Environmental Protection Agency, 2018).
36–70% of the greenhouse effect is due to
carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere
(IPCC, 2017).
