More than 150 leading marine scientists from 26 countries are calling for immediate action by policymakers to reduce CO 2 emissions sharply so as to avoid widespread and severe damage to marine ecosystems from increasing ocean acidification—the “other CO2 problem”. They issued this warning in the Monaco Declaration, released on 30 January.

To learn from its experience, let’s look back through Norway’s 30-year journey to becoming an EV giant: it all started with a mission to curb the country’s CO2 emissions. Curbing CO2 Emissions with Electric Transport. The cold and rural climate proves that EVs and their batteries can thrive in less agreeable weather.

Global CO 2 emissions have increased at an annual rate of more than 3 per cent, considerably faster than in previous decades (van Vuuren and Riahi, 2008).

The average for the passenger car segment (which includes SUVs) was 205 g/km, with light commercials averaging 250 g/km. In Australia, around 15% of passenger cars and 70% of light commercial vehicles are diesel engined (leading to a 25% diesel share overall in the total light vehicle fleet). per year over the 2008–2020 period.

It will be launched today by Geoff Hoon, the transport secretary, and Lord Mandelson, the business secretary, with the aim of kickstarting the market for cleaner road vehicles and slashing the UKs CO2 emisisons. The scheme, which would be enforced by setting a ceiling for the amount of CO2 a car emits, will become operational in 2011.

Ive found it facinating how car commercials changed the main MPG number they promoted before gas went over $4 a gallon as city miles. Generating electricity from wind and geothermal rather than a CO2 producing sources would help alleviate that problem. The intolerable act is to pretend that making cars into plug-ins will reduce CO2.
