The Greenhouse Gas Emissions Breakdown

The planet's warming every year And the human cause is very clear So in each sector, in each year Let's see greenhouse gases get here Rice cultivation's 1% Wastewater isn't much different 2% from deforestation Same for shipping and aviation Similar stat for landfills Agriculture and fishing, and chemicals Burning crops is over 3% Same goes for mixing cement You don't have to like addition or be a mathematician I'm not actually a scientist I'm more of a musician There's only one thing that you need to know All these emissions have got to go Science and learning can be so much fun They tell you where greenhouse emissions come from Stats and numbers turned into a song It's useful to know things We'll die if we're wrong 4% fertilises crops 6% just for livestock Cattle and sheep both ruminate Methane warms at a quicker rate 7% from iron and steel Commercial buildings are a similar deal 10.9 is residential Road transport's even more essential Fugitive emissions from energy production Unallocated fuel combustion Together are about 13.6 Sounds important, whatever it is The rest comes from other industry Paper and pulp and machinery Petrochemicals, non-ferrous metals Food, tobacco, and overfilled kettles Just quick aside I'm not telling lies But many of these facts have probably been revised Rounded up and down, and simplified You remember it more when it rhymes Science and learning can be so much fun They tell you where greenhouse emissions come from Stats and numbers turned into a song It's useful to know things We'll die if we're wrong
