UN Review of Recent Climate Research Concludes That Impacts Of Climate Change Coming Faster Than Anticipated

Green Car Congress

The developing and least-developed economies, 80% of the world’s population, accounted for 73% of the global growth of emissions in 2004. 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.

Abt life-cycle analysis of different Li-ion chemistries for PHEVs and EVs identifies opportunities for improving environmental profile of batteries

Green Car Congress

It assessed three currently manufactured Li-ion battery technologies for EVs and two for a PHEV with a 40-mile all-electric range: lithium-manganese oxide (LiMnO 2 ); lithium-nickel-cobalt-manganese-oxide (LiNi 0.4 2 Occupational cancer hazard impact was scaled to 50% in this figure because of the wide range across stages.

The Man Behind Hydrail

Cars That Think

In 2004, the Centralina region (the Greater Charlotte metro area, which straddles the North CarolinaSouth Carolina border) was designated as a non-attainment area for ozone under the Clean Air Act. They will offer much greater range and will be refueled as quickly as vehicles that run on petroleum products.

DISCOVER-AQ project to begin flights to enhance measurement of ground-level air-quality from space

Green Car Congress

Both aircraft will measure ozone and a mixture of soot and PM. Other instruments on the P-3B will measure pollutants that lead to the formation of ozone such as nitrogen dioxide and formaldehyde. Pollutants can spark a whole range of diseases including asthma, cardiovascular disease, and bronchitis. DISCOVER-AQ site.
