New ORNL tool to assess global freshwater stress suggests that population growth could be a bigger factor in water availability than increasing temperatures

Green Car Congress

An Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) paper published in Computers & Geosciences outlines a process that might help to determine the relative importance of population increases vs. climate change. Our work establishes a new method to couple geographic information system data with global climate outputs and statistical analysis.

PSI team develops web tool for consumers to compare environmental impact of passenger cars in detail

Green Car Congress

The system will graph lifecycle impact for a range of specified powertrains, for a large number of impact categories: Climate change [kg CO 2 -eq.]. Depletion of fresh water reserves [m 3 ]. Noise emissions [Person-Pascal/second]. The top sample above shows climate change impact; the subsequent chart shows human toxicity.
