    Very much cherry picking data points here: nitrous oxide has a higher impact by volume, but the output is infinitesimal compared to CO² and other harmful substances involved in the extraction, processing and combustion of fossil to the point that it’s still a TINY problem in comparison.

    As for this part

    15% of total global greenhouse gas emissions, which is greater than all the transportation emissions combined

    That’s just a flat out lie.

      The problem I see here is that it measures greenhouse gas emissions, but not “net greenhouse gas emissions”, which is much more important.

      For example, “crop burning” contributes to the CO2 emissions short-term, but not long-term. Still they list it as “3.5%” of emissions.
