The provided pie-charts illustrate the pattern of energy consumption in an Australian household and the resultant greenhouse gas emissions. It can be inferred easily that heating occupies the lion share of the percentage, both in terms of energy usage and emission.
The first pie-chart shows that heating itself occupies nearly half of the stakes in energy consumption of an Australian home. Adding to it, water heating comprises of another 30% which if summed up account for three-fourth shares in total. Most other appliances cumulatively account for 15% energy consumption. Next, refrigeration contributes 7% and cooling requires the minimum energy out of all other activities at 2%.
The next pie-chart reflects a similar pattern on the greenhouse gas emission by an Australian household, where heating and water heating together are responsible for around half of the emissions. Other appliances release 28%, refrigeration 7%, and the least amount is contributed by cooling at 3%.
Overall, both the pie-charts have congruent shares in the usage and emission pattern. It is important to understand that just by decreasing the requirements of heating, Australians can significantly decrease the emission of greenhouse gases which is deleteriously affecting the climate globally.
