of the human-made climate impact; two-thirds of this impact are caused by emissions other than CO 2 , according to a new study by researchers in Europe and the US. Schematic overview of the processes by which aviation emissions and increased cirrus cloudiness affect the climate system. Aviation accounts for 3.5% —Lee et al.

Projected changes in summer mean usable capacity of power plants in the US and Europe for the SRES A2 emissions scenario for the 2040s (2031–2060) relative to the control period (1971–2000). A study published in Nature Climate Change suggests that thermoelectric power plants (i.e., Source: van Vliet et al.

The program determines the environmental balance of vehicles with different size classes and powertrains, and presents the results in comparative graphics. The system will graph lifecycle impact for a range of specified powertrains, for a large number of impact categories: Climate change [kg CO 2 -eq.].

The contribution of HFCs to climate forcing is currently less than 1% of all greenhouse gases. If HFC emissions continue to increase, they are likely to have a noticeable influence on the climate system. W m -2 relative to 2000. Climate and the Ozone Layer. Climate-friendly HFCs.
