Study: 2/3 of aviation climate impact due to emissions other than CO2

Green Car Congress

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. This new study is based on a thorough review of a decade of research on aviation emissions. The formation and emission of sulfate aerosol yields a negative (cooling) term.

Study projects net cooling of climate from ship emissions through 2050

Green Car Congress

This continued shorter-term cooling response caused by certain emissions does not negate the necessity for reductions in CO 2 emissions, which are crucial to limiting the long-term warming impact of the sector, the researchers cautioned. of the total anthropogenic CO 2 emissions in that year. —Lud et al.

Climate response to non-CO 2 vehicle emissions. vehicle emissions under the baseline scenario (a) and the difference between the tight-standard and baseline scenarios (b). However, these standards will not reduce CO 2 emissions, which is required to mitigate long-term climate change, the team notes. Shindell et al.

Cutting Non-CO2 Pollutants Can Delay Abrupt Climate Change; The Fast Action Climate Agenda

Green Car Congress

Current emissions of anthropogenic greenhouse gases (GHGs) have already committed the planet to an increase in average surface temperature by the end of the century that may be above the critical threshold for tipping elements of the climate system into abrupt change with potentially irreversible and unmanageable consequences, the authors write.

Stanford Professor Urges EPA to Include Black Carbon in Endangerment Finding

Green Car Congress

In testimony for the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) public hearing ( earlier post ) on the proposed endangerment finding for greenhouse gas emissions under the Clean Air Act ( earlier post ), Stanford Professor Mark Jacobson urged the EPA to include black carbon in the finding.

Highly Ranked catachip @ Apr 19th 2009 4:57PM @ Elodie As long as the electricity is generated from wind, hydro, solar, or nuclear then there are zero emissions. 7, 1990) Emissions from cars dwarfs that from power plants. Nuclear waste is a problem much harder to solve than CO2, and dams have quite an impact in the environment.
