Decomposition of the decadal change in total global CO 2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion by four driving factors; population, income (GDP) per capita, energy intensity of GDP and carbon intensity of energy. The global economic crisis 2007/2008 only temporarily reduced emissions. WG III Summary for Policymakers.

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. In 2007, Jacobson and four colleagues testified in the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on the role of black carbon.

The growth in carbon dioxide emissions from energy and industry has exceeded even the most fossil-fuel intensive scenario developed by the IPCC at the end of the 1990s. Global emissions were growing by 1.1% per year from 2000-2007. In the summer of 2007, the rate of melting was some 60% higher than the previous record in 1998.

These regions contain two-thirds of total global anthropogenic NO x emissions. The other regions that we examined exhibited smaller increases in NO 2 pollution with population, reflecting a combination of emission controls and per capita fuel use. —Lamsal et al. parts per billion (U.S.), ppb (Europe), 0.68 ppb (China) and 0.23

In the absence of major technological innovations or policy changes, the United States is unlikely to meet cellulosic biofuel mandates under the current Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS2) by 2022, according to a new report from the National Research Council. However, whether and how the mandate for cellulosic biofuels will be met is uncertain.
