Same goes for EPA numbers: according to MB, since the 4MATIC system has the least parasitic effect on both emissions and fuel economy compared to their German rivals, city / highway mpg figures of 16/24 for the sedan and 15/23 for the wagon seem not far off the mark.

The S4 Avant, with its turbocharged 3.0 - litre V6, also achieves a claimed fuel economy of 37.6 mpg and 175g / km CO2 emissions, compared with the 38.1 mpg, and under 170g / km CO2 Audi claims for the S4 saloon, although Audi has stated that these figures are not yet officially confirmed.

This new V8 also delivers better fuel consumption and emission figures (40 percent lower when compared to the 6.0 - litre W12) not only due to its smalled displacement but also due to advanced technologies such as direct injection, variable displacement and the new close - ratio 8 - speed transmission.

When you look at real world scenarios, including studies that look at actual trajectories in emissions compared with the cuts needed for 2 degrees (see, for example, figure SPM.5, left panel or the very influential Peters et al 2012 article) a totally different picture emerges.

So the number is a net figure to be compared to the net emissions (the human part of the gross emissions which includes the emissions from vegetation).

But he's gone further, building interactive images that mesh data and graphics in novel ways, including the figure below, which compares the cumulative emissions of the world's nations, large and small.

And then figure the overall effects on the world of the «before» situation & compare with what is & will happen «extra» with the human emissions.

To properly put this figure in perspective, the gross figure 123 PgC / yr should have been used, if it is compared to the gross fossil fuel emissions of 8 PgC / yr.

Posted by Olive Heffernan on behalf of Paty Romero Lankao It does make sense to compare the per capita CO2 emissions of Mexico City and Los Angeles (see figure below) to illuminate the debate on shared but differentiated responsibilities on greenhouse gases emissions and show that just as urban centers register different levels and paths of economic development, cities do not contribute at the same level to global warming.

We can observe this phenomenon in figure 1 by comparing the lowest green and yellow emission pathways and temperature trajectories.

Although we did not explicitly address the temporal or spatial resolution of emission data from each system, it is notable that the few published acoustic and eddy covariance - based reservoir CH4 flux estimates are quite high compared to the median CH4 flux estimates from less temporally and / or spatially integrated measurement techniques (figure 1).

Although the latter figure was originally proposed by the European Commission, it has been criticized for falling short of the levels that would be needed to achieve a minimum target of 80 per cent greenhouse gas emissions reductions (compared to 1990 levels) put forward in the 2050 Low - Carbon Roadmap.
