Aggregated damage costs by pollutant. The EEA quantified the damage costs arising from CO 2 emissions based on estimated marginal abatement cost. There are differences between the selected pollutants in terms of the extent of current knowledge about how to evaluate their impacts. Source: EEA. Click to enlarge. Click to enlarge.

2009), reproduced from Ramanathan and Feng (2008) Click to enlarge. They are poised to become a larger part of the climate problem over the next few decades. By 2050, HFC emissions could equal up to 19% of global CO 2 emissions under business-as-usual scenarios. From Molina et al. Madhava Sarma. Earlier post.)

An offset is a measurable reduction, avoidance, or sequestration of GHG emissions from a source not covered by an emission reduction program. In this way, offsets would complement the more traditional emissions trading that can occur between two covered sources. what would have happened anyway).

A new study by an international team of researchers using Comparative Risk Assessment methods to estimate the health effects of alternative urban land transport scenarios for two settings—London, UK, and Delhi, India—concluded that although uncertainties remain, climate change mitigation in transport should benefit public health substantially.

The California Air Resources Board (ARB) is developing a proposal for more stringent emission requirements for new passenger vehicles, to be considered by the Board later this year. This second workshop will go into more detail in several areas related to criteria pollutant emissions and greenhouse gas emissions.

Ship engine exhaust emissions make up more than a quarter of nitrogen oxide emissions generated in the Australian region according to a recently-published study by CSIRO and the Australian Maritime College in Launceston. Nitrogen oxide is a non-greenhouse gas, unlike similarly named nitrous oxide. Ian Galbally.

Circle areas are proportional to values for (A and B) climate change, (C and D) human health (values for population over age 30), and (E and F) agriculture. The team considered about 400 emission control measures to reduce these pollutants by using current technology and experience. Source: Shindell et al.
