Air pollutants emitted from cars are believed to cause cancer and contribute to such problems as asthma, heart disease, birth defects and eye irritation. Greenhouse Gases Emissions from cars increase the levels
Chasing Hope made me think a lot about what kind of person chooses to run toward the hardest problems—and keep going back until they’re solved. It also made me think the world would be a much better place if there were more Nick Kristofs. In the meantime, we’re lucky to have this...
Even Bressler found it hard to grasp what this number really meant, so he found another way to express it. That is: For every 4,434 metric tons of CO2 that we add beyond the 2020 rate of emissions, we will kill one person. Those 4,434 tons are equivalent to the current lifetim...

Furthermore the biomass stock of tropical forests and its distribution remain poorly resolved at the regional scale [15,63,64]. Consensus has also yet to be reached on how much carbon is being emitted by changes in tropical land use (see, for example, [1,44,65–69]. There is thus an...
Carbon reduction is everyone's responsibility. What kind of person can be regarded as "low carbon family" and what does "low carbon" represent? For us, the lifestyle depicts each person's "carbon footprint" (how much carbon dioxide is produced, used and consumed), and low-carbon life is...
Considering the 500 km scenario, the travel time by zero-emission flight is 2.45, 3.30, and 4.15 h, while the travel cost is £47, £79, and £111. It was assumed that the CO2 emissions from zero-emission flights would be less than 2 kg/person in all scenarios of 500 km. Usin...
First, he began by shining ultraviolet light on the surface of a metal. When he did this, he was able to detect electrons being emitted from the surface. This was Einstein's explanation: If the energy in light comes in bundles, then one can think of light as containing tiny lumps, or...
