fluorinated gases account for 82 percent of us greenhouse gas emissions.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze each option

• Option 1: Carbon dioxide is 82%, which is more than methane (10%), nitrous oxide (5%), and fluorinated gases (3%). So this statement is supported.
• Option 2: Nitrous oxide is 5%, not 10%. Eliminate.
• Option 3: Carbon dioxide (82%) is emitted the most, not methane and nitrous oxide. Eliminate.
• Option 4: Fluorinated gases are 3%, not 82%. Eliminate.

Answer:

More carbon dioxide is emitted in the United States than any other greenhouse gas.
