carbon footprint
total set of greenhouse gas emissions caused by an individual, event, organisation, or product, expressed as carbon dioxide equivalent
global warming potential
estimate of how an atmospheric gas affects global climate change
carbon offset
reduction in emissions of carbon dioxide or greenhouse gases made in order to compensate for or to offset an emission made elsewhere
list of countries by carbon dioxide emissions
Wikimedia list article
carbon budget
limit on cumulative net global CO₂ emissions to achieve a specific level of global warming with a specified probability, accounting for the impact of other anthropogenic climate factors
coal-fired power station
facility that converts coal into electricity
Net-zero emissions
level of human-caused greenhouse gas emissions
greenhouse gas emissions
sources and amounts of greenhouse gases emitted to the atmosphere from human activities

greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture
greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture on the Earth
emission intensity
emission rate of a given pollutant relative to the intensity of a specific activity, or an industrial production process; e.g. grams of CO₂ released per megajoule of energy produced, or the ratio of greenhouse gas emissions produced to GDP
