It has been suggested that higher GHG thresholds for direct emissions are an adequate substitute for accounting for indirect land use change emissions.

AGW is a hypothesis that makes sense, namely: — GHGs absorb outgoing radiation, thereby contributing to warming (GH theory)-- CO2 is a GHG (as is water vapor plus some minor GHGs)-- CO2 concentrations have risen (mostly since measurements started in Mauna Loa in 1959)-- global temperature has risen since 1850 (in ~ 30 - year warming cycles with ~ 30 - year cycles of slight cooling in between)-- humans emit CO2 and other GHGs — ergo, human GHG emissions have very likely been a major contributor to higher GHG concentrations, very likely contributing to the observed warming

Not exact matches

If your condition for GHG policy is that you must impose the same price on all sectors of the economy because you want to be cost - effective, that rules out higher prices on some sectors where deep emissions reductions are possible, or lower prices in more politically sensitive areas to ensure you get a policy in place at all.

At the high end of the range above, with total GHG intensities in Canada of a little over 0.21 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent per tonne of LNG shipped, carbon costs would not materially alter processing costs.

Higher prices give businesses and consumers the incentive to modify energy use and make wise investments to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions over time.

If the goods they produced end up being imported from jurisdictions with less stringent environmental standards, then we lose twice — higher global GHG emissions and less economic activity in Canada.

In addition, eliminating synthetic pesticides and fertilizers in regenerative organic agricultural systems directly reduce GHG emissions that normally come from creating these synthetics and from higher methane and nitrous oxide emissions due to management.

We focus on ruminant livestock since it has the highest emissions intensity across food sectors... While shifting consumption patterns in wealthy countries from imported to domestic livestock products reduces GHG emissions associated with international trade and transport activity, we find that these transport emissions reductions are swamped by changes in global emissions due to differences in GHG emissions intensities of production.
