Ozone pollution across the continental United States will become far more difficult to keep in check as temperatures rise, according to new work led by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). Preliminary global mean CO 2 concentrations in February 2014 were 398.06 Ozone pollution also damages crops and other plants.

Petrochemicals are rapidly becoming the largest driver of global oil demand. Petrochemicals are set to account for more than a third of the growth in world oil demand to 2030, and nearly half the growth to 2050, adding nearly 7 million barrels of oil a day by then. Source: IEA.

If offshore installation and maintenance costs are to some considerable degree attributable to the burning of fuel oil in vessels, associated pollution is important. In the general case, global emissions of greenhouse gases, nitrogen and sulfur compounds, and particulates from shipping activities are significant and growing.

The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) estimates that 1,960 tonnes of mercury arising from human activities are currently emitted annually into the atmosphere, generated mainly by artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM)—the largest single anthropogenic source globally—and coal- or lignite-fired power plants.

The stepped bowl has a positive effect on the combustion process, the thermal loading of critical areas of the pistons and the introduction of soot into the engine oil. From its 3982 cc displacement, the new V8 biturbo produces more than 350 kW (476 hp) with a maximum torque of around 700 Nm from 2000 rpm.

For people looking for the most effective way to end our addiction to oil, PHEVs have made sense because carmakers can build them now, with todays technology and using todays infrastructure. But theyve needed definitive proof that PHEVs wont increase pollution. These are "features" -- and no one asks about the payback.

Less than a quarter of the proven fossil fuel reserves can be burnt and emitted between now and 2050, if global warming is to be limited to two degrees Celsius (2 °C), according to a new study published in the journal Nature today. Shown are fossil CO2 emissions (top panel) and corresponding global warming (bottom panel).

The Arab oil embargo and price increases of the ‘70s pushed the U.S. Today, less than 2% of American electrons are produced with oil. Before greenhouse gasses became a global concern, before we came to terms with the inevitable limits of fossil fuels, natural gas would have been a logical fuel alternative to petroleum.

Lutz is a man given to hyperbole — called global warming "a crock of shit" — but in this case, hes right. GM killed that car because of back room deals with oil companies, and now they expect us to believe that they are just so cutting edge now? We are facing a big problem with global warming. It is 12 years later.
