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

Green Car Congress

The RCPs were chosen to represent a broad range of climate outcomes, based on a literature review. 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. The RCP 8.5 petaflop Yellowstone supercomputer.

Study finds global rivers and streams emitting 3x IPCC estimates of the GHG N2O

Green Car Congress

That’s three times the amount estimated by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Nitrous oxide is a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change and stratospheric ozone destruction. This multi-site experiment clearly establishes streams and rivers as important sources of nitrous oxide.

The EV Transition Explained: Converting Gasoline Superusers

Cars That Think

Transportation is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for 27 percent of total GHG emissions in the U.S. For example, with 13 percent of its drivers using 37 percent of the gasoline, Wyoming is second on Coltura’s list of states with the highest percentage of gasoline superusers. Woe is Wyoming.
