Detailed explanation-1: -Acetylene doesn’t trap the heat that enters the Atmosphere like other Green House gases such as Methane, Carbon dioxide, Sulphur etc. hence, it doesn’t contribute to Global Warming.
Detailed explanation-2: -Fossil fuels – coal, oil and gas – are by far the largest contributor to global climate change, accounting for over 75 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions and nearly 90 per cent of all carbon dioxide emissions. As greenhouse gas emissions blanket the Earth, they trap the sun’s heat.
Detailed explanation-3: -Notes. CO2 accounts for about 76 percent of total greenhouse gas emissions. Methane, primarily from agriculture, contributes 16 percent of greenhouse gas emissions and nitrous oxide, mostly from industry and agriculture, contributes 6 percent to global emissions.
Detailed explanation-4: -Electricity Generation and Heat Production. The first sector on our list is electricity generation and heat production, which accounts for approximately 28% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. Transportation. Industry.
