A new report from the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) projects that by 2050, hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) could be responsible for emissions equivalent to 3.5 Climate and the Ozone Layer. These range from improved building design that reduces or avoids the need for air conditioners to fibre rather than foam insulation materials.

The RCPs were chosen to represent a broad range of climate outcomes, based on a literature review. These range from coughing and throat irritation to more serious problems, including aggravation of asthma, bronchitis, and emphysema. In fact, 90% of the time, ozone levels would range from 27 to 55 ppb. The RCP 8.5

A combination of reducing deforestation on land, allied to restoring the coverage and health of these marine ecosystems could deliver up to 25% of the emissions reductions needed to avoid dangerous climate change. Marine-living organisms range from plankton and bacteria to seagrasses, saltmarsh plants and mangrove forests.

We already gave the Killer Coal Family a chance to stop disrespecting us and make things right - but what did those climate-changing con artists do instead? We’re claiming self-defense since rubbing them out is the only way we can stop them from doing away with all of us. And a little bit o’ wine.

Scientists and engineers have extended the range of EVs by cramming ever more energy into their batteries, and vehicle charging networks have expanded in many countries. Can EVs be good enough—and can manufacturers roll them out fast enough—to meet the goals set in 2021 by the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26)?
