1 C What is the single most effective way to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions?Go vegetarian? Replant the Amazon? Cycle to work? None of the above. The answer is: make air-conditioners (空调)much better. On one calculation, replacing refrigerants(制冷剂)that damage the atmosphere would reduce...
Absolute scopes 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions did not reduce between 2016 and 2022, but for the majority of industry groups in the dataset, the intensity of scope 1 emissions declined. The utilities, materials, energy, and transportation ...
· Power plants remained the largest source of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, with more than 1,550 facilities emitting more than 2 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide, roughly 32 percent of total U.S. greenhouse gas pollution. Power plant emissions have declined by 9.8 percent since 2010,...
Decarbonizing the United States transportation sector has emerged as a critical objective to combat climate change due to its high greenhouse gas emissions, largely from light-duty vehicles. This study assesses the breakdown of life cycle emissions of various transportation options under average and ...
Unlike cars, though, air-conditioners have drawn ittle criticism for theirsocial impact emissions or energy efficiency.可知,作者认为空调是一个被忽视的行业是因为它不像汽车那样受到应有的环境影响的批评。故选D。2.推理判断题。根据第四段中The more the earth warms, the more people need them. But ...

"Methane is the second most important gas after carbon dioxide. It is responsible for a fifth of the enhanced greenhouse effect over the past 200 years," says Dr Paul Fraser, a chief research scientist at CSIRO Atmospheric Research. "Over the past four years there has been no growth in ...
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE New grid technology to rid the world of the most potent greenhouse gas Innovative switchgear enables the phaseout of SF6, a greenhouse gas 24,300 times more potent than CO2, staying in the atmosphere for over 1,000 years. • Power grids rely heavily on SF6, the ...
根据第一段第一 “ What is the single most effective way to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions?"以及 后文中的“The answer is: make air-conditioners better"可知, 减少温室气体的最有效的办法是改善空调的冷却系统。故选C。 7.A 推理判断题。 根据第二段第一 “Airconditioning is one of the world's...
Dam building requires steel and cement, the manufacture of which entails greenhouse gas emissions. Estimates for these emissions are relatively straightforward to make and show that the consequences are small compared to the benefits of generating greenhouse gas-free hydroelectric power. But more ...
