Study: 2/3 of aviation climate impact due to emissions other than CO2

Green Car Congress

of the human-made climate impact; two-thirds of this impact are caused by emissions other than CO 2 , according to a new study by researchers in Europe and the US. The study was published in the journal Atmospheric Environment. Seen together, the climate impact of these two factors is bigger than that of the sector’s carbon emissions.

Study: Crop relocation can help buffer US agriculture from climate change but southern states may face massive loss of productive land

Green Car Congress

Projected extreme temperatures under climate change are predicted to reduce average yields for several of the United States’ major crops. These changes in productivity would drive farmers to change crops and move into new areas. Farmers are particularly exposed to the problems of climate change.

Study: annual climate impact of wild pigs could be greater than 1.1M cars

Green Car Congress

The researchers used predictive population models coupled with advanced mapping techniques to estimate the climate damage wild pigs are causing across five continents. Since soil contains nearly three times as much carbon than in the atmosphere, even a small fraction of carbon emitted from soil has the potential to accelerate climate change.

IEEE Educational Video for Kids Spotlights Climate Change

Cars That Think

When it comes to addressing climate change, the “in unity there’s strength” adage certainly applies. To help bring the climate collection to more students, TryEngineering has partnered with the Museum of Science in Boston. The video encourages students to contribute to a global solution by making small, personal changes.

Scottish Enterprise project converting train to hydrogen power

Green Car Congress

Our Rail Decarbonization Action Plan sets out to make our passenger railways emissions free by 2035, but to maximise our climate change ambitions, there is also a requirement to look at what we do with retired stock. If we can bring those back into use in a carbon-neutral way, there are huge climate gains to be made.
