Possible mechanisms include (iv) fertilization of phytoplankton growth in the Southern Ocean by increased deposition of iron - containing dust from the atmosphere after being carried by winds from colder, drier continental areas, and a subsequent redistribution of limiting nutrients; (v) an increase in the whole ocean nutrient content (e.g., through input of material exposed on shelves or nitrogen fixation); and (vi) an increase in the ratio between carbon and other nutrients assimilated in organic material, resulting in a higher carbon export per unit of limiting nutrient exported.

Just as with the LCFS, the goal of RPS policies is to ratchet the average carbon content — unit of fuel or per kilowatt hour — down over time.

The costs of carbon capture retrofitted to an existing cola plant have been estimated (in an actual engineering analysis, not some whimsical guess) at an additional 6 - 8 cents per kwhr to capture 90 % of the CO2 content.

On Sunday, the best climate policy in the world got even better: British Columbia's carbon tax — a tax on the carbon content of all fossil fuels burned in the province — increased from $ 25 to $ 30 per metric ton of carbon dioxide, making it more expensive to pollute.

ANSWER: by «saturation» is usually meant a complete absorption of the radiation of the surface by the carbon dioxide and water vapor of the air: according to Dufresne and Treiner it is saturated and according to Pierrehumbert (Physics Today 2011) it is not; for me 0.8 (W / m ²) / 400 = 0.2 % for a doubling of the CO2 content is» nearly saturated»; 0.8 W / m ² is the additional absorption for 2xCO2 (e.g. per Hansen 1981)

We can calculate the carbon pollution from these lease sales by looking at the tons of coal in each lease, the energy content of the coal in each lease (in BTU / lb), and the amount of carbon pollution released per BTU, which varies depending upon the type of coal.

The carbon dioxide emission factors in this article are expressed in terms of the energy content of coal as pounds of carbon dioxide per million Btu.

The simplest way of calculating the emissions attributable to the KXL pipeline is to take the amount of product, let's say 830,000 barrels per day (the stated capacity of the pipeline), and multiply it by the carbon content of bitumen (0.48 tonnes of CO2 per barrel), which gives emissions of about 7 billion tonnes of CO2 over 50 years.
