Total greenhouse gas emissions converted into CO2 equivalent: carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and fluorinated gases, including emissions from land use and agriculture. The conversion uses 100-year global warming potentials. For countries with large agriculture this indicator runs substantially above emissions of CO2 alone.

Emissions Greenhouse gases per capitaHow much greenhouse gas falls on each resident — all gases, not CO2 alone.
Emissions Methane emissionsHow much methane a country emits — converted into CO2 equivalent.
Emissions Nitrous oxide emissionsThe third greenhouse gas by importance — almost all of it from fertilizer and manure.
