Carnegie study finds climate impact of particulates varies greatly depending on where the pollution originated

Green Car Congress

However, while greenhouse gases cause warming by trapping heat in the atmosphere, some aerosols can have a cooling effect on the climate because the aerosol particles cause more of the sun’s light to be reflected away from the planet. In many cases, the strongest climate effects of aerosols are felt far from where the aerosols are emitted.

Led by the tiny Pacific island of the Federated States of Micronesia, a growing group of low-lying islands and other vulnerable countries are calling for fast action on the approximately 50% of global warming that is caused by pollutants other than carbon dioxide (CO 2 ). The next round of UN climate negotiations begins in Cancun today.

IEA: Decisive action by governments is critical to unlock growth for low-carbon hydrogen

Green Car Congress

OCTOBER 4, 2021

It is important to support the development of low-carbon hydrogen if governments are going to meet their climate and energy ambitions. Hydrogen is light, storable and energy-dense, and its use as a fuel produces no direct emissions of pollutants or greenhouse gases. —Fatih Birol, the IEA Executive Director.

The report also covers an assessment of the potential contribution from reductions in short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs). This has raised hopes that emissions have peaked, as they must by 2020 to remain on a successful climate trajectory. These six present a combined poten al of up to 22 GtCO 2 e per annum.

Emissions are increasing in other developing countries: 6% for Indonesia and Malaysia; 9% for Pakistan and 12% for the Philippines. India does not show yet any decoupling of their emissions growth from their economic growth, unlike Brazil, where emissions fell by 6%. Also in Eurasia emissions grew in Turkey (5%) and Ukraine (8%).

Aren’t biofuels climate friendly? Biofuels are generally accepted to improve net carbon output, even when local air pollution from the production of biodiesel is taken into account. Generally, any alternative energy form that can help reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and limit our reliance on fossil fuels is well-received.

Oceans, already expanding from warmth and melting glaciers, would rise, increasing coastal flooding; a chain reaction of climate changes is projected to lead to harsher, more widespread droughts and more powerful storms. Lomborg estimates that for every dollar spent, the world will avoid only about two cents of climate damage.
