CO₂ emissions in Germany - statistics & facts
CO₂ emissions make up the largest share of greenhouse gases generated by humans and their activities. When CO₂ emissions are released into the atmosphere, the radiative balance of the earth is disrupted. This balance relates to solar energy absorbed by the planet and then radiated back to space. Disruptions cause the rising of surface temperature, i.e. global warming, which in turn contributes to all the climate change effects and risks recorded in recent decades.
