As fancy microbrews slowly make the transition to 16oz pounder cans, let us take pause and celebrate the macro forefathers that pioneered the God-given right to slug back a watery beer, then slam their containers over your head.

greenhouse gas - a gas that contributes to the greenhouse effect by absorbing infrared radiation. greenhouse emission. CFC, chlorofluorocarbon - a fluorocarbon with chlorine; formerly used as a refrigerant and as a propellant in aerosol cans; the chlorine in CFCs causes depletion of atmospheric ozone.
Figure 3 shows the EU-28 greenhouse gas emissions broken down by main source sectors. 'Fuel combustion and fugitive emissions from fuels (without transport)' is responsible for 55 % of EU-28 greenhouse gas emissions in 2015. In 1990 this source sector was even more dominant. Fuel combustion for transport (including international aviation) is the second most important source sector with 23 % in 2015; it has increased its contribution significantly since 1990. Greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture contribute with 10 % to EU-28 total greenhouse gas emissions.
