| Background | |
This section gives background information and outlines the methodology underpinning measurements of greenhouse gas emissions. |
|
| Cause | |
| UK Emissions of Carbon Dioxide, Methane and Nitrous Oxide by National Communication Source Category | Emissions of greenhouse gases are the main man-made cause of climate change.
The majority of the emissions in this section are UK national figures broken down into individual gases, and also by source and on an ‘end user’ basis. |
| Carbon dioxide emissions by end user | |
| EU-15 Greenhouse gas emissions compared with Kyoto targets for 2008-2012 | |
| Effect | |
| Average surface temperature | These are a selection of the effects of climate change with the majority only covering the UK. Please be aware that changes in climate occur over prolonged periods of several years and therefore longer term trends should be examined rather than changes for individual years. |
