Presents national inventory data on greenhouse gas emissions by sources & removals by sinks. Naturally occurring greenhouse gases include water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, & ozone. Several classes of halogenated substances that contain fluorine, chlorine, or bromine are also greenhouse gases but are a product of industrial activities.
