- Kohlendioxid trägt durch seine Menge mehr als jedes andere Treibhausgas zum Klimawandel bei, doch seine Konzentration in der Luft beträgt weniger als 0,04 Prozent.
- Carbon dioxide contributes by its amount more than any other greenhouse gas to climate change, but its concentration in the air is less than 0.04 percent.
Usage notes[edit]
The plural Prozente is only used to mean different percent values or percentages: „Was sind die genauen Prozente für A und B?“ "What are the exact percentages of A and B?" Otherwise, like in English, the singular is used: fünfzig Prozent "fifty percent".
