Quotes About Emissions

COâ'' emissions anywhere threaten civilisation everywhere.

If Margaret Thatcher took climate change seriously and believed that we should take action to reduce global greenhouse emissions, then taking action and supporting and accepting the science can hardly be the mark of incipient Bolshevism.

In other words, we are losing the war on carbon precisely because we are winning the war on poverty.

The annual output of carbon emissions is 25 billion tonnes and Global Cool's goal is to reduce it by one billion tonnes a year.

15 à 20 % des émissions mondiales de méthane sont liées à l'élevage des animaux. Depuis deux siècles, la concentration de méthane dans l'atmosphère a plus que doublé. Les ruminants – bÅ"ufs, vaches, buffles, moutons, chèvres et chameaux Ã¢â'¬â€œ constituent l'une des sources les plus importantes de production de méthane (37 % des émissions liées à l'homme).

Nuclear power will help provide the electricity that our growing economy needs without increasing emissions. This is truly an environmentally responsible source of energy.

Scientists now know that corn making and using ethanol emits twice as much greenhouse gas as gasoline. Even switchgrass, long touted as more sustainable, produces 50 percent more emissions.

Those "irresponsible" environmentalists had been right: the emissions had not come down in harmless traces, but as acid rain. This could have been avoided had the power companies done the right thing and controlled pollution at the source, rather than attempting to get around air quality standards by building taller smokestacks and attacking environmentalists.

The relationship between those who have burned the most fossil fuels and those who will suffer the most from a warming climate is perversely inverted. The inversion is both chronological (younger generations pay for their elders' emissions) and socioeconomic (the poor suffer what the rich deserve).

Beyond this, it is quite probable that if the models predicting serious global warming are even approximately correct, we have already crossed a threshold in terms of the greenhouse gases thus far pumped into the atmosphere. Significant global warming might be inevitable, therefore, irrespective of whatever emission-reducing measures we now take. It follows that novel technologies and economic arrangements will have to be put in place to adjust to a wide array of consequences.

In the air the Pentagon would then, went the presumption, turn orange and vibrate until all evil emissions had fled this levitation. At that point the war in Vietnam would end.

In geoengineering, 'moral hazard' has been used to describe the expectation that if cooling technologies seem a real possibility, people will put less effort into reducing carbon-dioxide emissions.

A groundbreaking 2016 study from the University of Oxford modeled the climate, health, and economic benefits of a worldwide transition to plant-based diets between now and 2050. Business-as-usual emissions could be reduced by as much as 70 percent through adopting a vegan diet and 63 percent for a vegetarian diet (which includes cheese, milk, and eggs). The model also calculates a reduction in global mortality of 6 to 10 percent.

Molecules of methane that make their way into the atmosphere create a warming effect up to thirty-four times stronger than carbon dioxide over a one-hundred-year time horizon.

If stupid hippies hadn't killed nuclear power, we'd have nuclear power plants, safer and cheaper than coal-fired plants, all over, and electric cars really would be zero emissions.
