INVENTORY OF U.S. GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS AND SINKS: 1990-2007
"This report presents estimates by the United States government of U.S. anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions and sinks for the years 1990 through 2007. A summary of these estimates is provided in Table 2 1 and Table 2 2 by gas and source category in the Trends in Greenhouse Gas Emissions chapter. The emission estimates in these tables are presented on both a full molecular mass basis and on a Global Warming Potential (GWP) weighted basis in order to show the relative contribution of each gas to global average radiative forcing.18 This report also discusses the
methods and data used to calculate these emission estimates..."
