CO2 releases into the atmosphere in a ton of ways. The largest source of natural carbon emissions is the exchange of carbon dioxide between the oceans and the atmosphere. Animals and plants also emit CO2 through the process of respiration (breathe in oxygen, breathe out CO2)....
There are some people that dispute whether human-made carbon emissions are a cause of global warming. Some of these people believe the Earth is simply getting warmer due to natural processes. That argument aside, it can certainly be said that CO2 is not the only gas that affects the planet...
In simple terms, the CCL deters commercial energy users from consuming energy that creates carbon emissions. The more energy-efficient your business is, and the less carbon-creating energy you use, the less CCL you pay. In theory, the CCL encourages businesses to consume less energy and to sw...
An offset credit is generally outside of an emission trading system or can be imported into an ETS. It also represents one metric ton of carbon dioxide or equivalent greenhouse gas (GHG). However, it is generated by a reduction in emissions made by a voluntary project designed specifically fo...
“Carbon emissions,”“carbon burning,” leaving a “carbon footprint”…so it'd be easy to assume that any form of carbon burning is necessarily a bad thing.But the fact is, it's not quite that simple.So, we're gonna focus today on the difference between good, bad, and, uh, well...
Burning coal—for electricity, as well as metallurgy and cement production—is the world’s singlelargest sourceof CO2 emissions. Nevertheless, its use in electricity generation has actually grown 91.2% since 1997, the year when the first global climate agreement was signed in Kyoto, Japan. ...
been closed to those prepared and able to do this. So the facts about climate, as with population, and the faux solutions to the actually non-problem of a very small effect on the Lapse Rate from CO2 emissions, exponentially diminishing with concentration, can be hidden from the proletariat....
Carbon emissions, carbon burning, leaving a carbon footprint. So it'd be easy to assume that any form of carbon burning is necessarily a bad thing. But the fact is: it's not quite that simple. So we're gonna focus today on the difference between good, bad, and well, the, not so...
Through a process called electrolysis, however, which involves using renewable electricity to split water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen, it is possible to produce hydrogen in a way that does not require natural gas and creates no direct CO2 emissions. Since this process only requires water and...
Having said all this I remain cautious on emissions. We have those who are hysterical about all the climate change we have already caused. If it is the case that going from 260 to 400 ppm CO2 is causing extensive climate change today then we really are in trouble. And the hysterical comm...
