The GWPs of the greenhouse gases vary with the time horizon used to calculate them. With a time horizon of 100 years, GWPs are 1, 23, and 296 for CO2, CH4, and N2O, respectively. Emissions of criteria pollutants are regulated in the United States by the EPA (the term “criteria ...
Greenhouse gases (GHGs) are globally deemed the major factor exacerbating theclimate crisis. Human activity, particularlyfossil fuelcombustion,agriculture, urbanization, anddeforestationare the keyGHGs sources(Government of Canada, 2020). TheUnited Nations Environment Program (UNEP) (2009)states that “we...

10. Are there any national targets or legal requirements for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions? How far are the targets aligned with the 1.5 degree target in the Paris Agreement, if at all? Has a climate emergency been declared? Is there a national strategy on climate change?
Global warming is one of the most prominent challenges in the present era. Global warming is caused by the increased concentration of greenhouse gases (GHG

Examples of greenhouse gases are; Carbon (fossil fuels, deforestation, road vehicles, forest fires), Methane (Agriculture, and natural decay of vegetation), Nitrous Oxide (fossil fuels, road vehicles), Chlorofluorocarbons (refrigerants, aerosol spray). c) Acid rain Acid rain is serious environmental...
Air quality managementdecisions are often made among competing interests and perspectives. These involve trade-offs. For example, remediating a contaminated site may call for excavation of soil, which is then incinerated. The complete incineration will result in generating and emitting greenhouse gases....
