The effect of energy consumption, energy intensity and fuel consumption towards carbon dioxide (CO2 ) emission in Malaysia

A greenhouses gas (GHG) is a gas in an atmosphere that absorbs and emits radiation within the thermal infrared range. This process is the fundamental cause of the greenhouse effect. Malaysia is a developing country where its growing population and expansion of economic activities especially in the m...
