A study led by Norwegian climate center CICERO has found that the global warming effect of leaked hydrogen is almost 12 times stronger than that of CO 2. Rather, it is the leaking of hydrogen from production, transportation and usage that adds to global warming. A global warming potential of 11.6 Sand et al. Skeie, R.B.,
It makes an important contribution to the scientific understanding we have of the role of aviation for climatechange—an understanding decision-makers and politicians may need on the way to achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement. This new study is based on a thorough review of a decade of research on aviation emissions.
Some will suffer greatly from climatechange, while others may even benefit. These heterogeneous effects mean that different countries will have differing incentives to abide by the Paris Agreement, which aims to limit global warming below 2 °C relative to pre-Industrial levels.

When it comes to addressing climatechange, the “in unity there’s strength” adage certainly applies. Using age-appropriate language, the video, which is posted on TryEngineering’s climatechange page , explores the issue through visual models and scientific explanations.
The global natural gas vehicle fleet has grown rapidly in the last 10 years, but still represents less than 1% of global transport fuel consumption. The global fleet of NGVs consists largely of passenger cars/LDVs, although there are some regional differences. Click to enlarge. gas sources, such as biogas or bio-synthetic gas.
A new study finds that the growth of carbon production from Chinese exports has slowed or reversed, reflecting a “new phase of globalization” between developing countries that could undermine international efforts to reduce emissions. The paper is published in Nature Communications. trillion) in 2014.
trillion in 2010) would be required to overcome poverty; increase food production to eradicate hunger without degrading land and water resources; and avert the climatechange catastrophe. A comprehensive global energy transition is urgently needed in order to avert a major planetary catastrophe.
The negotiators also warned that rich and developing countries have little hope of overcoming key disagreements over how to fight global warming. And now they don’t want to have to pay the price for the carbon they burn or for the impacts their CO2 emissions cause. They want to take the money and run.
