| Summary: | Greenhouse gases are one of the main factors that influence the Earth's global temperature variation. As the
result of both the beginning of the industrial revolution (the 1750’s) and the intensificication and diversification of
human activities, the volume of greenhouse gasses increases significantly. The risk of an accelerated global warming
can be decreased by reducing the volume of greenhouse gasses emissions resulting from human activities. The annual
volume of these emissions is reflected by the Greenhouse gas (GHG) indicator. This work carries out a classification of
EU countries on the basis of the evolution of the GHG indicator using Partitioning Around Medoids (PAM) method. |
