Who's Responsible for All of the Carbon Dioxide in the Air?

The debate on the severity of the greenhouse effect gases has been long in debate for some years now. Some people believe that they generation of CO2 gases would continue to grow and become an imminent threat in the near future. It is a logical turn of events that proves that the continued mass production of greenhouse gases such as CO2 will have some dangerous effect in the near future. What many people want to know is where all the carbon dioxide is coming from or who is responsible for the greenhouse gases that could eventually make the Earth uninhabitable. Many people first think that cars would be at the top of the list, but in reality it is actually from mass production plants.

Mass production plants from the major nations have produced several megatons of goods. A megaton is equivalent to 1 million metric tons, and a metric ton is equivalent to 2,000 lbs. You can do the math to see how much has been produce by these factories. That requires an enormous amount of energy to produce those things. It is common knowledge that most combustion fires are very inefficient transferring energy. So that many those megatons of good produced produce an amplified amount of megatons of C02 gases. "Amplified" means that you will be multiplying and not just adding.

According to a Science News article written by Sid Perkins, more than 75% of all CO2 gases are produced by United States, Japan, and the European Union. That means that if anyone was to do anything about reversing the problem of greenhouse gases before it reaches a critical point then it would have to be someone of power in one of those nations. Unfortunately, the critical point is technically hidden because once it is reached it would be too late to reverse it. A general area can be identified through mathematics, but because of the unknown nature of things on such as large scale can involve more factors than just the ones that are currently known to man.

Another bad thing is the way that the greenhouse gases would have to be dealt with. Ultimately, the only thing that can be done is to either produce fewer goods or find a way to produce goods without burning so many tons of fuel.
