This graph is provided by Project Drawdown, a nonprofit organization that seeks to help the world reach “Drawdown—the future point in time when levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere stop climbing and start to steadily decline." The graph shows the sectors that are adding greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, the sinks that are taking them out, and the amount that remains in the atmosphere, which causes warming.
