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

Green Car Congress

This is especially the case for those draining nitrogen-enriched urbanized and agricultural watersheds, highlighting the importance of managing nitrogen before it reaches open water. This new global emission estimate is startling. —Jake Beaulieu of the University of Notre Dame and the US EPA, and lead author of the PNAS paper.

Perspective: Regional Greenhouse Gas Cap-and-Trade Programs May be the Solution

Green Car Congress

They are looking at cutting the nation’s greenhouse gas output by targeting, in separate ways, three major sources of emissions: electric utilities, transportation and industry. states are already actively participating in the design and implementation of three regional cap-and-trade programs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
