The IPCC says that the pre-industrial amount of CO2 in the Earth's atmosphere was about 280 parts per million (ppm), meaning that for every million molecules of dry air, 280 of them were CO2. In contrast, 2005 levels of CO2 were measured at 379 ppm [Source: IPCC]. Nitrous oxide(N2O...

. Because of ppm measurements, we can measure the level of CO2 and determine the maximum “safe” concentration, which according to the latest science is 350 ppm. However, atmospheric CO2 has been measured >400 ppm, and therefore we must continue to measure ppm levels and try to decrease ...
(1), is measured by the logarithm of urban population size. Following Deng et al. (2019), this paper measures urban population size by considering the total urban population, including transient urban population without local household registration. Independent variable Based on the definition of SF...
3. The inter-country distribution of emissions per unit of GDP per capita (emissions intensity) was measured using GDP at purchasing power parity (PPP) and at market exchange rates (MER). The emissions intensity was for most countries very much lower on the former measure. The ranking of ...
The financial pressure on local governments is measured by the ratio of revenue to the spending gap in the general public budget. The key explanatory variable in Column (1) is the interaction between the government’s environmental emphasis and its budgetary bias, as indicated by the results in...
The benefits have been measured and quantified on Jacobs’ own dyno and through testing at the Southwest Research labs, among others. In another endorsement of the technology,Cummins acquired Jacobsearlier this year, in part because of this technology. Cummins sees engine braking and cylinder deacti...
Carbon footprint refers to the number of greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide and methane, that an individual or community emits over time due to their actions. Carbon footprint is measured in units of carbon dioxide. The amount of greenhouse gases a business organisation ge...
Open is measured by the proportion of foreign direct investment to GDP. The energy consumption level (ES) is measured by 10,000 tons of coal consumption. The ratio of the tertiary sector's production value to that of the secondary industry serves as a proxy for industrial structure upgrading ...
In contrast, 2005 levels of CO2 were measured at 379 ppm [Source: IPCC]. Nitrous oxide (N2O) is another important greenhouse gas. Although the amounts being released by human activities are not as great as the amounts of CO2, nitrous oxide absorbs much more energy than CO2 (about 270 ...
