Annual Increase in Global CO2 Emissions Halved in 2008; Decrease in Fossil Oil Consumption, Increase in Renewables Share

Green Car Congress

In addition to high oil prices and the financial crisis, the increased use of new renewable energy sources, such as biofuels for road transport and wind energy for electricity generation, had a noticeable and mitigating impact on CO 2 emissions. Global CO2 emissions increased from 15.3 billion tonnes in 1970, to 22.5 and from 19.5

Researchers Find That Stratospheric Ozone Depletion Reduces Southern Ocean Carbon Uptake

Green Car Congress

Andrew Lenton and colleagues at the National Center for Scientific Research used a model to calculate the changes in ocean–atmosphere carbon balances for the period 1975–2004 that included the impacts of changing ozone concentrations. The results revealed that, between 1987 and 2004, around 2.3 In addition, about 50% of the observed 0.02
