Sentences with phrase «emission figures decrease»

So while it's identical to the Gallardo's engine in size, ten - cylinder layout and natural aspiration, its power and torque figures are much higher while fuel consumption and CO2 emission figures decrease.

Not exact matches

According to figures from the World Bank, the Chinese economy's carbon intensity — the amount of CO2 emissions relative to the size of economic output — has decreased by almost 70 per cent over the past three decades (see «Peak planet: Carbon dioxide intensity «-RRB-, and a further 20 per cent reduction from current levels is promised by 2020.

Under one scenario, the researchers projected that global food production could fall by 15 percent, but when they accounted for large emissions decreases, that figure shrank to a 9 percent drop in food production.

2: Our Changing Climate, Key Message 5).2 Regional climate models (RCMs) using the same emissions scenario also project increased spring precipitation (9 % in 2041 - 2062 relative to 1979 - 2000) and decreased summer precipitation (by an average of about 8 % in 2041 - 2062 relative to 1979 - 2000) particularly in the southern portions of the Midwest.12 Increases in the frequency and intensity of extreme precipitation are projected across the entire region in both GCM and RCM simulations (Figure 18.6), and these increases are generally larger than the projected changes in average precipitation.12, 2

Electricity generation CO2 savings from changes in the fuel mix since 2005: This figure shows the emissions savings from two factors that have allowed emissions to decrease from 2005 to 2016, while generation has risen slightly.

But in his book, Dr. Lomborg cites figures from the United States Census Bureau, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and the European Environment Agency to show that the rate of world population growth has actually been dropping sharply since 1964; the level of international debt decreased slightly from 1984 to 1999; the price of oil, adjusted for inflation, is half what it was in the early 1980's; and the sulfur emissions that generate acid rain (which has turned out to do little if any damage to forests, though some to lakes) have been cut substantially since 1984.

In other words, its time to accept a voluntary decrease in GDP and incomes, at least in developed countries, to reduce emissions and buy us time to figure out the best way to drastically reduce global carbon intensity.

The observations of figure 17 - F dispel the myth that all the increase of the CO2 of the air is from anthropic origin; the anthropic emissions remaining in the air for a 5 years life time have surged since 2003 while the overall the CO2 growth rate has been slowly decreasing!

Although energy efficiency can be used to displace generation and reduce emissions, the AEO 2016 Reference case models achieving Clean Power Plan compliance with only a 3 percent decrease in sales compared to the future with no Clean Power Plan (see Figure 2).

The AEO 2017 Reference case features marginally lower emissions than AEO 2016 (a cumulative decrease of 1 percent between 2017 and 2030), and features 2050 emissions over four times higher than is recommended by climate scientists (see Figure 5).

Center for American ProgressWith other smaller changes in global emissions projections — including a decrease due to the recent economic downturn and reduced emissions from deforestation and loss of peat lands — the high - end abatement path so far from the Copenhagen Accord commitments leaves us only 5 gigatons short of the 44 gigaton goal by 2020 — two - thirds of the reductions needed to achieve climate safety (Figure 3).

According to analysis from Project Catalyst hitting this goal requires a 17 gigaton decrease in annual greenhouse gas emissions to 44 gigatons per year from the projected increase of global emissions of 61 gigatons by 2020 if we continue polluting at current rates (Figure 1).
