Approximately 70% of the reductions needed to meet the ozone standard in the South Coast in 2031 would come from existing or proposed regulatory actions. Short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) make up about 12% of GHG emissions, but strong actions to reduce them could help reduce global warming by as much as 40%.

Global benefits from full implementation of measures for reduction of short-lived climate pollutants in 2030 compared to the reference scenario. Such pollutants together account for approximately one-third of current global warming, have significant impacts on public health, the environment, and world food productivity. Source: UNEP.

They used satellite-based measurements of urban form and nitrogen dioxideO 2 (n) to explore relationships between urban form and air pollution for a global data set of 1,274 cities. For example, recent estimates suggest that globally, approximately 25% of ambient urban PM 2.5 is attributable to motor vehicles. —Bechle et al.

HFCs are powerful greenhouse gases originally developed as substitutes for ozone-depleting chemicals. By 2050, HFC emissions could equal up to 19% of global CO 2 emissions under business-as-usual scenarios. North American leaders followed suit with their own joint proposal, which builds on the islands’ submission. Earlier post.)

The project builds upon the idea that air quality and climate change issues are linked through “one atmosphere”, an approach that demands coordination and multi-tiered approaches.

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. Click to enlarge.

This is the second in a series of EaSM solicitations, and it remains focused on the prediction of future climates and their consequences for human systems on time scales of several decades and shorter and global to regional and finer spatial scales. Moreover, adaptation planning and implementation is carried out on roughly these time scales.

MARPOL Annex VI sets limits on NO x and SO x emissions from ship exhaust, and prohibits deliberate emissions of ozone-depleting substances. Annex VI defines two sets of emission and fuel quality requirements: global requirements; and. more stringent requirements applicable to ships in Emission Control Areas (ECA). Earlier post.).

Second, EPA is proposing to remove refrigerant-based AC provisions for both light- and medium-duty vehicles because, under a separate rulemaking, EPA has proposed to disallow the use of high global warming potential refrigerants. EPA is also proposing to sunset the off-cycle credits program for both light and medium-duty vehicles.

In order to achieve the 2008 Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards set by US EPA, CARB estimates that the South Coast Air Basin alone (including Los Angeles) will need an 80% reduction in NO x emissions by 2031. CARB said it looked forward to continued cooperation with the federal agencies on this long-term effort.

Take, for example, the tens of thousands of fossil-fueled ships that chug across the ocean, spewing plumes of pollutants that contribute to acid rain, ozone depletion, respiratory ailments, and global warming. Second, we need more modeling to understand how MCB would affect weather and climate both locally and globally.
