Sentences with phrase «reduce human carbon dioxide»

As discussed previously, the risks arise not from the alleged climate change fears raised by the climate alarmists but rather from their ill - founded, useless, and horrendously expensive measures to reduce human carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.

Not exact matches

The only real climate change solutions that I have seen are to reduce carbon dioxide in the air by having human activity emit less of it.

Politics of deferred gratification Under one of the additional scenarios, known as RCP 4.5, humans take longer to reduce greenhouse gas emissions but eventually do so, and under the other, known as RCP 8.5, carbon dioxide concentrations continue to rise through 2100.

But if humans, through carbon dioxide emissions, are affecting climate less than we think, would that mean we may have more time to reduce the harmful effects?

A failure to reduce carbon dioxide emissions significantly within the next decade will have large adverse effects on the climate that will be essentially irreversible on human time scales.

9/19/16 — Taxing carbon released from burning fossil fuels could be a key part of a comprehensive effort to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide, a major contributor to human - caused climate change, two economists have argued in Issues.

Key elements include curbing human carbon dioxide emissions to the atmosphere, improved control of local pollution sources, reducing coastal habitat destruction, and better preparing coastal human communities to withstand the amount of ocean acidification and climate change that is unavoidable.

Most environmentalists and sympathetic politicians want you to believe that carbon dioxide (CO2) is a «dirty,» dangerous air pollutant and human emissions of it must be reduced by any means possible if the world is to survive.

Ironically these are the effective ways of mitigating the broad range of human pressures on the climate system — sequestering carbon dioxide in the landscape, reducing methane, nitrous oxide, tropospheric ozone, black carbon and CFC emissions.

The thinking behind it is straightforward: Human activity, especially the burning of fossil fuels, generates carbon dioxide, methane and other gases that accumulate in the atmosphere; there they trap the sun's heat the way a greenhouse does; to reduce the heat, reduce the gases.

Healthy forests absorb carbon dioxide from human fossil fuel combustion and at the same time reduce regional temperatures.

Reducing carbon dioxide to a taxable good means the subjection of nearly every facet of human existence to taxation.

Australia is going to be passing a Carbon Tax which is to reduce the nations carbon emission by 5 %, even though we only contribute to 1 % of the worlds human released Carbon Dioxide.

Human knowledge is accelerating in an exponential fashion, and between the ability to change the carbon dioxide absorbing capabilities of plants or insects or the ability to reflect sunlight back into space, reducing warming should be a trivial task in a 50 - 100 year time frame, if warming becomes a problem.

Reductions in some short - lived human - induced emissions that contribute to warming, such as black carbon (soot) and methane, could reduce some of the projected warming over the next couple of decades, because, unlike carbon dioxide, these gases and particles have relatively short atmospheric lifetimes.The amount of warming projected beyond the next few decades is directly linked to the cumulative global emissions of heat - trapping gases and particles.

Countries included in Annex B of the Protocol (most Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development countries and countries with economies in transition) agreed to reduce their human - induced heat - trapping gas (greenhouse gas) emissions (carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, and sulfur hexafluoride) by at least 5 % below 1990 levels in the commitment period 2008 to 2012.

Forests help take climate changing carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, reducing global warming - a human induced process linked to wild weather patterns including this year's deadly flooding in Pakistan and crop destroying wild fires in Russia.

Are we more likely to see unintended consequences from (a) seeding the upper atmosphere with sulfate or (b) dramatically reducing the carbon dioxide output of the whole human race?

A failure to reduce carbon dioxide emissions significantly within the next decade will have large adverse effects on the climate that will be essentially irreversible on human time scales.

Instead, carbon removal aims to reduce historical human influence on the climate system by decreasing the amount of excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere — essentially reversing the influence of anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

As humans pump more and more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere while simultaneously cutting down huge swaths of forest (and thereby harming the Earth's ability to scrub carbon dioxide), the Earth's ability to cool itself is significantly reduced.

While the SE4All objectives do not explicitly address climate change, it is clear that sustainable energy is a prerequisite for reducing greenhouse gas emissions: 80 % of human carbon dioxide emissions come from the global energy system, including transportation, buildings, industry, and electricity, heat, and fuel production.

The failure to actually reduce global emissions has meant that all possibilities are now on the table, including some that sound like premises from a science - fiction novel: Humans could sequester carbon dioxide by removing it from the air through technologies that mimic trees, or we could spray water droplets in the lower atmosphere to reflect light and heat back to space, or we could seed sulfur aerosols in the stratosphere to do the same.

The Carbon Law says human carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions must be reduced by half each decade starting in 2020.

The only way to do that is to reduce the output of so - called greenhouse gasses, caused primarily by carbon dioxide emissions from industry, automobiles and other human activities, Horton said.
