Red colors represent a temperature increase, blue indicates a decrease, and beige indicates no change. In their paper, the authors note that several cautions must be taken in analyzing long-term climatic data in order to avoid misleading or erroneous conclusions. Mean annual temperature is changing throughout Alaska. 2009, 1949?

Emissions from this sector declined 18% in 2016, reflecting continued growth in renewable energy—such as solar, wind and geothermal—as a result of the state’s Renewables Portfolio Standard, and a corresponding drop in natural gas generation. billion gallons in all—as a result of the state’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard.

Selin and Friedman use the global 3-D chemical transport model GEOS-Chem to track the day-to-day transport of PAHs—toxic byproducts of burning wood, coal, oil and other forms of energy that remain in the atmosphere for less time than other persistent organic pollutants regulated by global standards.

First, some background from the New York Times : The rule increasingly limits the amount of pollution allowed from tailpipes over time so that, by 2032, more than half the new cars sold in the United States would most likely be zero-emissions vehicles in order for carmakers to meet the standards. regulation is not a ban.

The findings, published in the 21 September issue of Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics , are generally consistent with official Chinese government statistics and could bolster their credibility as international negotiations proceed on commitments of China and other nations to combat climate change.

Study finds rising temperatures increase risk of unhealthy ozone levels absent sharp cuts in precursors

Warmer temperatures and other changes in the atmosphere related to a changing climate, including higher atmospheric levels of methane, spur the chemical reactions that lead to ozone. To examine the impacts of climate change on ozone pollution, NCAR scientist Gabriele Pfister and her colleagues looked at two scenarios.

We use the data to quantify the effects of engine technology, emission standards, and cold-start on emissions. Finally, we analyze the potential climate effects of switching a PFI to a GDI fleet. All the vehicles were tested using commercial gasoline that met the summertime California fuel standards. —Saliba et al.
