I firmly believe the fight against climate change and how we use resources will decide the future of our society—and of the BMW Group. As part of this process, the BMW Group is setting itself clear targets for CO 2 reduction up to 2030. CO 2 emissions will then be less than 10% of what they were in 2006.

An understanding of the rate of carbon release is necessary to estimate the strength of positive feedback to climate change, a likely consequence of permafrost thaw. Scientists have been cautious about estimating average sea level rise this century in part because of complex processes within ice sheets.
