Soot particles from oil and wood heating systems as well as road traffic can pollute the air in Europe on a much larger scale than previously assumed. Carbonaceous aerosol particles predominate in the total mass of particles, consisting of a large number of chemical species and can be divided into organic aerosol (OA) and black carbon (BC).

The Administration said that the ambitious target is grounded in analysis of cost-effective carbon pollution reductions achievable under existing law and will keep the United States on a trajectory to achieve deep economy-wide reductions on the order of 80% by 2050. The new US goal will double the pace of GHG reduction from 1.2%

The report provides updated results on the continuous monitoring of the three main greenhouse gases: carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), methane (CH 4 ) and nitrous oxide (N 2 O). CH 4 is mainly generated by agricultural activities, the production of coal and gas, as well as waste treatment and disposal. In 2016, the EU’s CO 2 emissions were 20.8%

The findings suggest that in addition to carbon dioxide, there are other compounds in need of attention and regulation. The presence of ammonia was first discovered in the upper troposphere in 2016 using the analysis of averaged MIPAS (Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding) infrared limb-emission spectra.

The strategy builds on progress to date and takes steps to further cut methane emissions from landfills, coal mining, and agriculture, and oil and gas systems. If EPA decides to develop additional regulations, it will complete those regulations by the end of 2016.

We have to discover and produce cleaner, renewable sources of energy with less of the carbon pollution that threatens our climate. In fact, the Air Force is aiming to get half of its domestic jet fuel from alternative sources by 2016. We have to find ways to boost our efficiency so that we use less oil. —President Obama.

Would these vehicles truly help to lower carbon emissions. They rely on a battery charged from a standard 120 volt or 240 volt outlet and do not produce carbon emissions while running but require frequent charging. In 2008, transportation accounted for 22 percent of all city carbon emissions. Should the city encourage their use?

The thousands of rocket launches needed to loft and maintain these space power stations would dump lots of soot, carbon dioxide, and other pollutants into the stratosphere, with uncertain climate impacts. It would take two or three of these giant satellites to replace one large retiring coal or nuclear power station.

The combination of harvesting whole forests and burning long-sequestered carbon sources such as coal or oil has impaired the Earth’s carbon cycle at an increasing pace. To restore balance we must protect the oxygen-producing biomass of Earth and reduce the amount of carbon emissions. But use of petroleum will continue.
