Comprehensive assessment concludes black carbon second-most important human emission in warming climate

Green Car Congress

FEBRUARY 7, 2013

A comprehensive assessment of black-carbon climate forcing accepted for publication in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres estimates that black carbon, with a total climate forcing of +1.1?W?m m -2 , is the second-most important human emission in terms of its climate-forcing in the present-day atmosphere.

Rolls-Royce Power Systems has outlined its road map for climate neutrality: Net Zero@Power Systems. By 2030, the Rolls-Royce business unit is to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 35% compared to its 2019 level through the use of new net zero and zero carbon technologies. This is not yet relevant for Rolls-Royce applications.

Reducing Black Carbon Emissions and Ground-Level Ozone Would Provide Immediate Benefit Against Climate Change

AUGUST 21, 2009

Reducing emissions of black carbon soot and ground-level ozone would quickly make a considerable dent in the climate change problem and would also contribute to public health and protect crop yields, according to an essay in the September/October issue of Foreign Affairs. Besides a danger to breathe, ozone lowers crop yields.

The theme of the current issue of Nature is that the climate situation may be even worse than you think. Two possible futures: One in which no climate policies are implemented (red), and one with strong action to mitigate emissions (blue). Without climate policies, global warming will cross 2 °C by the middle of the century.
