Despite the economic effects of the global financial crisis (GFC), carbon dioxide emissions from human activities rose 2% in 2008 to an all-time high of 1.3 between 2000 and 2008, compared with 1% per year in the 1990s. Emissions from coal are now the dominant fossil fuel emission source, surpassing 40 years of oil emission prevalence.

Effects of changes in the average lifespan of ordinary passenger cars newly registered between 1990-2000 on total induced CO 2 emissions in 2000. They also found that extending the lifetime of a vehicle contributed to a moderate increase in emissions of criteria pollutants (NO x , HC, and CO) during the use phase of the vehicle.

By 2050, HFC emissions could equal up to 19% of global CO 2 emissions under business-as-usual scenarios. With indoor air pollution killing 1.6 million people a year, global action to cut soot emissions would reap major benefits for both public health and climate. Ramanathan. Tropospheric ozone.

Black carbon (BC) is the second largest man-made contributor to global warming and its influence on climate has been greatly underestimated, according to the first quantitative and comprehensive analysis of this pollutant’s climate impact. Schematic overview of the primary black-carbon emission sources and the processes that control.

Black carbon—soot—is a global-warming agent the immediate control of which will slow the demise of Arctic sea ice faster than will control of any other global-warming agent, Jacobson said. Further, controlling soot will significantly reduce particulate air pollution deaths. However, both BC and GHG controls are needed.

The O 3 precursors, SO 2 , and aerosol emissions have effects on atmospheric composition and climate and can affect human health and cause regional pollution and acidification.
