«New fuel standards will decrease childhood asthma cases: Most significant improvement in global fuel standards for the shipping industry in 100 years, will also reduce number of premature deaths.»

Process technology has improved steadily in the past 60 years, and since the 1970s, when most existing facilities were built, the amount of energy used per ton of ammonia (as both feed and fuel) has decreased about 30 percent.

And, possibly the most telling argument, decreasing fossil fuel use increases our national security.

If the tax is levied on energy - consuming industries, then, similarly, the supply of those products using the most energy will fall the most, so that the demand for carboniferous fuels will decrease, and so their price will decrease, i.e., the tax will be shifted to the mining industries.

that «Human combustion of fossil fuels is significantly causing that climate change» is also true, then many, perhaps most, people will accept that there is a need to «reduce greenhouse gas emissions and build out clean energy» even if it will «cost consumers money, decrease energy security and destroy jobs».

For example, atmospheric carbon dioxide grew by approximately 30 % during the transition from the most recent cold glacial period, about 20,000 years ago, to the current warm interglacial period; the corresponding rate of decrease in surface ocean pH, driven by geological processes, was approximately 50 times slower than the current rate driven largely by fossil fuel burning.

Exponential atmospheric CO2 growth rate will most likely not increase beyond the recent ~ 0.5 % per year, when population growth rate is expected to decrease to less than one - third of the recent past rate, even if per capita use of fossil fuels increases by 50 % by 2100.

These assume a continuation of the past exponential growth rate of atmospheric CO2 of around 0.5 % per year despite a dramatic decrease of the population growth rate to less than one - third of the past rate so, even if the world per capita fossil - fuel based energy use increases by 50 %, these are most likely «upper limits» themselves.

A decrease in overall fossil fuel emissions is not inconsistent with continued or increased fossil fuel production by the most efficient producers.

From 2010 to 2011, CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion decreased by 2.5 % due to: (1) a decrease in coal consumption, with increased natural gas consumption and a significant increase in hydropower used; (2) a decrease in transportation - related energy consumption due to higher fuel costs, improvements in fuel efficiency, and a reduction in miles travelled; and (3) relatively mild winter conditions resulting in an overall decrease in energy demand in most sectors.

Perhaps most encouragingly, overall generation was down 1.5 %, matching other evidence that flat - lining demand is leaving fossil fuels little room to grow, and that renewables are eating up a larger portion of an actually decreasing pie.

If you travel with a load secured to the roof of your vehicle, make sure it is situated in the most aerodynamic way to reduce wind drag, which causes your engine to work harder (and decreases your fuel efficiency).
