In 2015 global anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions were about 47 GtCO₂e, or 50GtCO₂e including emissions from Land Use, Land Use Change, and Forestry (LULUCF). The majority of emissions (75% of total emissions) consist of CO₂, and most of these are generated by burning of fuels (62% of total emissions).
