In 2001, Australia produced 528.1 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent -- this was mainly carbon dioxide (69.9%) as well as methane (22.9%), nitrous oxide (6.3%) and other gases. Of Australia's total net emissions in 2001, the production of energy accounted for 68.0%, 19.5% came from agriculture, emissions from industrial processes contributed 4.6%, and waste emissions contributed 3.1%.

For many years, West Virginia was the largest producer of natural gas east of the Mississippi River. In recent years, it has still produced significant amounts of natural gas in the Appalachian Basin. Reported production in 2001 was 191 Bcf (billion cubic feet) of natural gas and 1.607 million bbl (barrels) of oil. We have seen published illustrations of drilling and production activity in the Burning Springs area of Wirt County from the late 1850s. See similar questions...

Natural gas is primarily methane, which is a major greenhouse gas. Methane is emitted directly to the atmosphere from sources such as leaks in natural gas wells and pipelines and is produced in landfills, sewage treatment facilities and livestock operations. Other major greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide and nitrous oxides are produced when natural gas is burned for heating and electric power production. See similar questions...

The greenhouse gas estimates presented here are full fuel-cycle estimates, combining the three major greenhouse gases emitted by motor vehicles: Full fuel-cycle estimates include all steps in the use of a fuel, from production and refining to distribution and final use. This gives a more complete picture of the climate change impacts of using a particular fuel. Some greenhouse gases have greater impacts on climate than others. See similar questions...

One of the strongest pieces of evidence for human-induced climate change is the consistent rise in carbon dioxide (CO2) in modern times, as measured at the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii, where CO2 has been observed since 1958. As of 2005, the concentration of CO2 in Earth’s atmosphere was about 378 parts per million (ppm). See similar questions...

There are six main greenhouse gases, the most common of which are carbon dioxide (C02), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N20). These are all produced from human activity - C02 from transport and energy; CH4 mainly from animals burping out the gas as they digest their food; N20 mainly from agriculture such as the use of fertiliser and when animals urinate. See similar questions...

In 2005, there were 18.2 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of dry natural gas produced in the U.S. The top producing states are: See similar questions...

Major industrial sectors, including electricity produced by combustion, oil and gas, base metal smelters, iron and steel, some mining sectors, cement, forest products, and chemicals production contribute about half of Canada's greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change. Industry produces about half of Canada's greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change and our plan sets mandatory targets for them to reduce these emissions. See similar questions...

The concentration of carbon dioxide is approximately 30 per cent greater than it was in the 18th century, before the industrial revolution. It has increased from around 280 parts per million (ppm) to approximately 360 ppm today. Although carbon dioxide comprises only 0.036 per cent of the air, its warming effect is significant. Methane levels have risen from a pre-industrial concentration of about 700 parts per billion (ppb) to 1700 ppb. See similar questions...

The purpose of Mensheds Australia is to create a fresh approach to developing men's sheds and their integration into the community, addressing such things as, creating new and sustainable men's sheds, improving retention, performance and expansion of existing men's sheds, developing strategies and attraction of new opportunities to men's sheds, and their community in a practical way.

The amount of electricity produced by the Acuscope is measured in microamps (millionths of an amp), an extremely tiny amount of current in comparison to the amount of electricity flowing from a wall socket. It has been scientifically proven that this level of current produces the most beneficial effect on the body's cells. See similar questions...

Just clean air. The Austin Air Cleaner does NOT produce OZONE, IONS, or NEGATIVE IONS. Ozone is active Oxygen and can be dangerous to people with respiratory problems, such as asthma and emphysema. Periodic vacumming of the four sides on the outside screen is the only maintenance required for the Austin Air Cleaner. Typically, the filter only needs to be changed every five years.

It produces XHTML compatible with the XHTML 1.0 specification. A cascading stylesheet is required for proper viewing with a modern graphical browser. Correct rendering of the HTML produced depends on the CSS support of the browser. A general-purpose stylesheet, html4css1.css is provided with the code, and is embedded by default. It is installed in the "writers/html4css1/" subdirectory within the Docutils package. See similar questions...

All Canadians need to get involved in reducing emissions of greenhouse gases that cause climate change, as well as air pollution. Making use of the Government's public transit tax credit and increasing your use of public transit to help reduce traffic congestion and air pollution in our cities, and greenhouse gas emissions that impact on our climate. Consulting the ecoENERGY for Personal Vehicles program to help you choose more eco-friendly vehicles. See similar questions...

Vault's production portfolio is weighted 65% natural gas and 35% light oil. Vault's current reserve base is more balanced: 50% natural gas and 50% light oil. See similar questions...

Seasonal weather conditions have the most impact on the amount of natural gas you use. When it's cold outside, your furnace goes on more frequently and runs longer to warm your home. Your water heater also stays on longer to heat the colder incoming water. Aside from weather-related and other changes in your gas appliance usage patterns, your bill may vary due to changes in wholesale natural gas prices, which change based on market conditions.

The greenhouse is sold unassembled. This helps us to keep both shipping and greenhouse kit costs low. Each kit comes with complete written instructions and computer generated drawings. The framing is color coded for convenience and of course, we’re always here to help. The greenhouses are shipped in a couple long skinny boxes and an octagonal box for the rolled Solexx panels. The 8' Garden Oasis, for example, comes in five boxes: two 8' x 7. See similar questions...

Sensors in the greenhouse send an electrical signal (either voltage or current) that varies as the quality measured varies. To use this data, the computer converts it to a number that its program can process. An environmental control computer uses a device called an analog-to-digital converter for this purpose. See similar questions...

The greenhouse effect is a natural process. Sunlight passes through the atmosphere, warming the Earth’s surface. In turn, the land and oceans release heat, or infrared radiation, into the atmosphere, balancing the incoming energy. Water vapour, carbon dioxide and some other naturally occurring gases can absorb part of this radiation, allowing it to warm the lower atmosphere. See similar questions...
