Abstract
Texas has been ranked the leading greenhouse gas emitter among the states that are under the administration of America. Therefore, this paper shall discuss the reasons that have led to the focus on why Texas has been ranked as the number one emitter of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases. This shall be in comparison to the other states that make up the United States of America. On the same note, the paper shall focus on the strategies that can be adopted to reduce the emissions of the greenhouse gases so as to improve the health conditions of the state of Texas and the overall union.
