giga tonne carbon dioxide equivalent (GtCO 2 eq) (2.2%) per year from 2000 to 2010 compared to 0.4 GtCO 2 eq (1.3%) per year from 1970 to 2000. Total anthropogenic GHG emissions were the highest in human history from 2000 to 2010 and reached 49 (±4.5) GtCO 2 eq/yr in 2010. IPCC WG III. Click to enlarge.

Global ozone-depleting substances (ODSs) and HFC emissions (A), global CO 2 and HFC emissions (B), and ODS, HFC, and CO 2 global RF (C) for the period 2000–2050. These HFCs, gases used in refrigerators and air conditioners, are substitutes for ozone-depleting gases, but they are also strong greenhouse gases. Velders et al.

Between 2000 and 2011, the number of producing gas wells in the US increased by 50%, reaching 514,637. This surge in exploration and production from unconventional sources has been accompanied by public concerns about various environmental issues—including air quality, water quantity and quality, and human health impacts.

The release of these gases also have indirect effects on a variety of other atmospheric constituents, including reducing the production of particles called aerosols that can influence both the climate and the air quality. And hydroxyls drive long chains of reactions involving other common gases, including ozone. —Drew Shindell.

For 30 reference glaciers in nine mountain ranges tracked by the World Glacier Monitoring Service, the mean rate of loss since 2000 has roughly doubled since the rate during the previous two decades. Global emissions were growing by 1.1% each year from 1990-1999 and this accelerated to 3.5%

Neutral Big Papi @ Apr 20th 2009 10:05AM All - The end of the plug that you see is the end that plugs into the car not the part that would plug into the wall. By abstracting devices to use electricity as their fuel, we can concentrate on advancing clean electricity production techniques and have the benefits shared by everything.
