Read the chart before naming gases

First record each sector’s share: 60%, 20%, 14% and 6%. In this source chart the labels map to CO₂, methane, CFCs and nitrous oxide respectively. Translate the question’s label order only after writing that mapping down.

Keep source estimates in context

The linked question asks for interpretation of a particular chart. Its percentages are the source’s values and should not be presented as current emissions or forcing estimates without a dated, updated source.
