Greenhouse Gases: Who Produces Most?Britain's first full survey of household emissions of carbon dioxide, the gas responsible for global warming, was published yesterday - and was full of surprises.Michael McCarthy Environment Editor
environmentalists say, making it possible to significantly reduce emissions with a handful of fixes. Experts also say cutting back on methane would do much to limit global warming to 2 degrees Celsius because the gas doesn't persist as long as carbon dioxide. Whereas CO2 sticks around...
buying permits that will increase in cost each year. Opponents argue that these systems only work to create an excess of circulating carbon credits because caps are set a few years in advance, and companies cut emissions quicker than expected—and then use the credits as money-making instruments...
China produces the most energy from climate-warming fossil fuels and also from renewable energy sources. It accounts for about 30% of the world's annual carbon emissions, making China the biggest greenhouse gas polluter. However, the country's emissions may have peaked followin...
1, the missing link between cars and horse-drawn buggies. Karl Benz patented the three-wheeled Motor Car, known as the "Motorwagen," in 1886. It was the first true, modern automobile, meaning Benz is most often identified as the man who invented the car. Benz also patented his own ...
We have established a sustainability roadmap with a clear action plan for FLCT to continue to lead the way and drive our sustainability performance1. This includes a goal for FLCT to achieve net-zero carbon status by 2050, with established targets that contribute towards our Sponsor’s Group-...
Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), which uses feedstocks like cooking oils to reduce emissions by up to 80% from conventional fuel, is seen as the carbon saviour for an aviation sector often cast as a villain in the fight against climate change. But the nascent ind...
There is mixed empirical evidence to prove validity of the environmental Kuznets curve. For example, carbon emissions have steadily risen for both developed and developing economies. The development of modern carbon trading infrastructure also means that developed economies are not actually reducing polluti...
Electricity generation producesa quarter of U.S. greenhouse gas emissionsthatdrive climate change. The electric grid also is highly vulnerable to climate change effects, such as more frequent and severedroughts,hurricanesandother extreme weather events. ...
Sweeney has run social media accounts for several years logging the takeoffs and landings of planes owned by billionaires, politicians and celebrities. He uses data publicly available from the Federal Aviation Administration and often measures the carbon emissions from each ...
