Sentences with phrase «phasing down fossil»

A basic requirement for phasing down fossil fuel emissions is abundant carbon - free electricity, which is the most rapidly growing form of energy and also has the potential to provide energy for transportation and heating of buildings.

(1) Economic studies show this to be, by far, the fastest way to phase down fossil fuel emissions, much superior to cap - and - trade or regulations on emissions, but fee - and - dividend can be applied effectively on top of any existing efforts to reduce emissions.

Recognizing this shortcoming, policy - makers, researchers and civil society actors have begun to consider and enact a new suite of complementary policies and actions that aim to phase down fossil fuels in a more comprehensive way — by also limiting fossil fuel extraction.

If phase down of fossil fuel emissions begins soon, improved agricultural and forestry practices, including reforestation and steps to improve soil fertility and increase its carbon content, may provide much of the necessary CO2 extraction.»

I think the only hope we have of phasing down emissions and getting to the middle of the century with a much lower level of fossil fuel emissions — which is what we will have to do if we want young people to have a future — we're going to have to have alternatives and at this time nuclear seems to be the best candidate.

That solution is to rapidly phase out fossil fuels and replace them with non-carbon sources of energy, use that energy with maximum efficiency, and use organic agriculture and reforestation to to draw down the already dangerous anthropogenic excess of atmospheric CO2.

To achieve these reductions they propose phasing out coal - fired power stations by 2030 and scaling down the use of unconventional fossil fuels like tar sands.

To keep global warming «well below» 2 °C the world must phase down the production — not just the consumption — of fossil fuels.
