A Global Breakdown of Greenhouse Gas Emissions by Sector In a few decades, greenhouse gases (GHGs)—chiefly in the form of CO₂ emissions—have risen at unprecedented rates as a result of global growth and resource consumption. To uncover the major sectors where these emissions originate, this...
IndustryTap covered “300 Years of Fossil Fuels in 300 Seconds” which shows the origin and growth of greenhouse gases since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution in the 17th century; CO2 is measured in Parts Per Million (PPM) and its growth spurt is unmistakable. Charts below from the ...
We use a top-down approach based on climate zones, dwelling and heating-type statistics to estimate the regional breakdown of New Zealand's residential space and domestic water heat demand. This is further broken down by fuel, enabling the calculation of associated greenhouse gas emissions. The ...
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed in August to loosen emission control of methane, one of the greenhouse gases that resulted in global warming, by abandoning federal regulations that require the oil and gas industry to install technology that monitors and curbs methane leaks ...
Figures released by the European Copernicus climate service show average temperatures around the world in January were 1.75C warmer than before greenhouse gas emissions started to rise significantly in the industrial revolution around 150 years ago. That's 0.1C above the record set last J...
moves to get things backwards in tackling climate change as a breakdown of the year. The U.S. government has forged ahead with a range of policies that make it more difficult for the United States and the world to curb emissions of greenhouse gases. It came as a rising proportion of ...
, an IPCC core team author and a professor of environmental economics at the Australian National University in Canberra, said that another positive message from the sixth assessment is that technological solutions are beginning to appear that can lead to deep reductions in greenhouse gas emissions....
life cycle, they are diverted from landfills and converted into other commodities, such as new packaging material. The new packaging uses ~28% less virgin polymer, since it’s replaced by PCR resins. By using PCR films in our packaging, we are able to reduce greenhousegas emissions by ~...
Huntsman:End the EPA's "regulatory reign of terror." Acknowledges the scientific evidence that humans contribute to global warming. As governor, supported regional cap-and-trade program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and urged Congress to cap them. "I will break down barriers to the continued...
