Q:

What is the difference between real money & nominal money?

Answer

Nominal money relates more to it's measure of counting - so nominal figure of what is written on bill, while "real" relates more to it's purchasing power (usually between some periods of time). For instance 100 units in nominal could buy 2 units of good in 1950 and 1 unit of good in 2005, at the same time real value of this 100 nominal units are 100 real units in 1950 and 50 real units in 2005.


Same is with GDP. In nominal it can rise due to inflation while it can stay the same or even decrease in real value.

C) Fosssil fuels D) All the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) All the above

Explanation:

Most of the emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) come primarily from burning fossil fuels (coal, hydrocarbon gas liquids, natural gas, and petroleum) for energy use and the major greenhouse gas is of course carbon dioxide (CO2) which comes from burning fossil fuels and land-use change.

But methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O), which mostly come from agriculture and waste, are also significant GHGs and shouldn't be discounted.
