A friend asked me if a discussion paper published on Statistics Norway’s website, ‘ To what extent are temperature levels changing due to greenhouse gas emissions? ’, was purposely timed for the next climate summit ( COP28 ). I don’t know the answer to his question. But this discussion paper is problematic for sure.
That means the greenhouse substances are basically just CO2 and ozone, and they absorb in quite different parts of the spectrum. The basic concept is easy to grasp though. The upper atmosphere is different from the troposphere in that pressure is much less, and it’s very dry.
The heat trapped by human-induced greenhouse gases will warm the planet for many generations to come.” The annual increase from 2013 to 2021 is more than double the increase between 1993 to 2002. In a statement, WMO Secretary-General Petteri Taalas said “Our climate is changing before our eyes.
While “natural” gas is mostly composed of methane, a greenhouse gas that’s 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide during its first 20 years in the atmosphere, Ebel and his industry counterparts have succeeded in minimizing the perception of its climate impact.
The de riguer environmental imperative of responding to the immediate threat of global warming through reducing greenhouse gas emissions, to the detriment of other environmental impacts, is simply taking one environmental impact too far. This is not my perspective alone.
As the physical and economic harms of climate change accumulate, corporate managers have faced increasing pressure to reduce their companies greenhouse gas emissions and adapt their businesses to climate-related risks. Broadly, fiduciary duties arise when one person entrusts another with discretion over their financial affairs.
In 2002, Allegheny adopted its Environmental Guiding Principles and was a charter signatory with the American College & University Presidents’ Climate Commitment. For over 20 years, Allegheny College has held sustainability as a core value.
However, by the beginning of the 21st century the pernicious effects of fossil fuel emissions–in terms of both conventional air, water and ground pollution and the discharge of greenhouse gas emissions that profoundly disrupt our climate–were well-established and widely acknowledged.
Just days before the conference she was featured in an article where she attempted to shift blame away from the fossil fuel industry by saying that oil companies can only decarbonize as fast as the rest of the economy – a comment that completely ignores the fact that the oil and gas industry is Canada’s largest source of greenhouse gas emissions.
Writing as part of Frontiers’ guest editorials series, the study’s lead author – Prof Martin Siegert, deputy vice chancellor of the University of Exeter (Cornwall) – discusses how without there being a rapid shift to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, the Antarctic environment will experience ever more drastic changes.
Under the LCFS each fuel pathway gets a unique carbon intensity (CI) based on a lifecycle analysis of the greenhouse gas emissions associated with the production and use of the fuel. dairy herds fell by more than half between 2002 and 2019, with an accelerating rate of decline in 2018 and 2019, even as milk production continued to grow.”
Despite its strong record of serving public needs, US public agricultural R&D investment has fallen by about one-third since its peak in 2002, according to a 2022 report by the Economic Research Service (ERS). This narrative is particularly troubling given the proven benefits of diversification for climate resilience.
Moreover, they have more potential to contribute to greenhouse gas mitigation via carbon sequestration. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions means moving away from the use of high-energy and polluting nitrogenous fertilizers. Diverse plants and manure must take their place.

2] [3] [4] The desperation of climate activism parallels the rate of loss (and likelihood of climate injustice) predicted by the IPCC and climate scientists, if governments fail to curtail greenhouse gas emissions.

That was 200,000 more acres than in 2002, when the USDA began tracking that data. The fossil fuel sector and its industrial allies block curbs to greenhouse gas emissions. Those livestock farms, known as Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations, spread untreated animal wastes on 1.75 million acres in both states in 2017.
Since the Pavley Act passed in 2002, California has been a leader in cutting greenhouse gas emissions from new cars. The goal was to eliminate conventional pollutants, not greenhouse gases. Even today, a third of all new U.S. electric vehicles (EVs) are sold in California. 2012 Gov.
And so what this study did was looking at 2002 to 2015 Medicare claims, the authors took advantage of a stark difference in fracking activity between Pennsylvania, where the practice started becoming widespread in 2008, and in New York, where fracking was and still is banned. So that's what this study does. So what were the findings?
Candidate in the Department of Soil and Crop Sciences and Trainee in the CSU InTERFEWS Program What if agriculture – a sector responsible for more than a fifth of total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions 1 – was actually capable of storing more CO 2 than it emits? Guest Post by Lisa Eash , Ph.D. Soil Use and Management , 29 (2), 199-209.
It ranked fifth in terms of area burned, with about half of the burned acreage as 2002, the fourth-place year, and about a sixth of the burned acreage of the worst season in 1974–1975. The bottom line is that other human activities have a greater impact on the frequency and severity of forest fires than the emission of greenhouse gases.
Lessons Learned Sally Claggett, who joined the Chesapeake Bay Program in 2002, serves as program coordinator with the U.S. The tree tube is really beneficial in that it acts as a greenhouse, and the plants grow a lot faster in the tree tube,” Claggett said. Forest Service and coordinates the Bay Program’s Forestry Workgroup.
Executive Order 80 supports the 2015 Paris Agreement and sets several goals for the state to meet by 2025: Reduce state greenhouse gas emissions by 40% from 2005 levels. Reduce energy use per square foot in state-owned buildings by 40% from 2002-2003 levels. Increase the number of zero-emission vehicles in the state to 80,000.
Vegetarianism is not important for protecting the environment or reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Irrigation water used per bushel of corn has declined by nearly half since 1980, while greenhouse gases declined 31 percent. [19] Technological change and agricultural modernization will significantly outweigh climate change in the U.S.

A 2002 B’Tselem report shows Israel has destroyed agricultural areas, claiming they were used for “terror attacks.” According to Forensic Architecture, over 2,000 agricultural sites, including farms and greenhouses, have been obliterated since October 2023. In 2008–2009, IDF damaged one-third of Gaza’s farmland.
The plaintiffs alleged that Peabody (and a number of other fossil fuel companies) caused greenhouse gas emissions that resulted in sea level rise and damage to their property. Circuit Stayed Greenhouse Gas Emissions Standards for Truck Trailers.
Since 2002, millions of pastoral communities have been forced from their homes to make room for commercial cattle ranches, leaving parts of the region food insecure. The Associated Press reports that rather than starting from seed, farmers are more often planting seedlings that have sprouted in a greenhouse.
