Automobiles are major contributors to air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. The United US, Canada, and Australia are making progress, but nonetheless continue to lag behind. Car travel in non-OECD countries doubled between 1975 and 2000, but it then picked up pace by doubling again in just the decade to 2010.

JULY 3, 2017

Improving the efficiency of road-freight transport is critical to reducing the growth in oil demand, carbon emissions and air pollution over the next decades, according to the International Energy Agency’s latest report, The Future of Trucks: Implications for energy and the environment. —“The Future of Trucks”.

OCTOBER 17, 2009

In 2000, coal provided 28% of the world’s fossil fuel energy production, compared with 45% for oil. The growth in China’s coal consumption since 2000 dwarfs that of all other countries combined. Despite marginal improvements in utilization efficiency, coal continues to be the most polluting fossil fuel. Mbpd in 2005.

EPA report to Congress finds a strong scientific and technical foundation for mitigating black carbon emissions

BC is a significant component of particulate matter (PM) pollution, which has been linked to adverse health and environmental impacts through decades of scientific research. Therefore, estimates of the net effect of BC emissions sources on climate should include the offsetting effects of these co-emitted pollutants. Earlier post.).

Jacobson first showed in 2000 that black carbon was the second-leading cause of global warming after carbon dioxide in terms of radiative forcing and, in 2002, that its control would be the most effective method of slowing warming. Canada’s 2009 GHG emissions are 48.7% ºC in 2050, as compared to 2000 temperatures.
