Norway does not use its oil and gas for energy generation. 98% of the country's energy is generated by hydropower plants.

96% of electricity is generated from hydro power. But people drive a lot. People fly a lot. People use a lot of natural gas to heat their homes. The world bank data says that 57% of total energy comes from fossil fuel sources.

Must be industrial use and flying, then; Norway has the most electric cars per capita in the world, and has banned fossil fuel use for heating buildings.

I think your explanation is correct (heating of homes and other buildings would be another major factor). Interestingly, however, fuel used for international flights (presumably involving the great majority of fuel used for flights originating or arriving at Norwegian airports) is not ascribed to any country. Thus, every country's carbon footprint is underestimated - some more than others, of course.

Because after the consecration, the wine is changed (possibly by transubstantiation) into the blood of Christ. Therefore it's no longer wine, so it doesn't count. I should know - I'm a cardinal.

Roughly 800 residents, probably about 100%. Plus Catholics can drink outside mass.

Is there a desert in Brazil? Wikipedia seems to mention Jalapao in its list of deserts, but on the Jalapao page it says it's a semi-arid region... I'm not sure about it.

I tried Ukraine for that one too. The only thing I can think of is that the territory counts French Guyana as part of France, which makes the territory bigger than Ukraine.

Lowest percentage of energy coming from fossil fuels ranked 5th in the world, nuclear energy generated ranked 2nd in the world, I'm confused.

Nuclear energy is considered fossil fuel, since fossil refers to dead remains of plants and animals, of which uranium is an element, not dead remains.
