Warming of the air by any chemical, including soot, enhances natural surface emissions of water vapor [e.g., 1990; Anisimov, 2007] and chemical production of ozone in already-polluted locations [Jacobson, 2008b].

Moratorium and phase-out of coal plants that do not capture and store CO2. But wait, there’s more new laws of the land… No new coal power plants unless they suck up all the CO2 they’ve already pumped into the air. This is the sine qua non for solving the climate problem. Coal emissions must be phased out rapidly.

Prius easily exceeds the Euro 5 emissions standards, producing 89g/km of CO2. Adopting the Atkinson cycle and a new, cooled exhaust gas recirculation system brings significant gains in fuel efficiency and emissions reduction. And with more torque produced at lower engine speeds, new Prius offers more relaxed cruising performance, too.
