Information on data including an explanation of the methodology for reporting greenhouse gas emissions, as well as references for further reading.
Climate change refers to deviations in climate patterns that exceed climate’s normal variability, brought about by human activities. The greenhouse gases emitted into our atmosphere cause this.
Among the drivers of these emissions are the burning of fossil fuels, industrial processes, livestock farming, and waste treatment.
Increasing global temperatures, rising sea levels, and more extreme weather conditions are some of the impacts of climate change that have subsequent wide-ranging effects on ecosystems, the economy, society, and human health. Climate change-related statistics can help us understand this entire process better.

What began as a theory in the 1890s — that industrial emissions of carbon dioxide could increase global temperatures — had progressed to a scientific fact a century later. Scientists across a range of disciplines are studying the impact of the still-growing concentration of carbon dioxide and other so-called “greenhouse gases” in the atmosphere as they call for industrial and governmental policies to slow, then halt, the warming of the planet.
