While overall emissions of greenhouse gases from CDP's «Global 500» have shrunk from 4.2 billion to 3.6 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent since 2009, the index's 50 largest - emitting firms have actually seen greenhouse gas emissions rise by 1.65 percent over the same period, the organization has found.

In theory, if a city or region has policies that encourage biking instead of driving, the researchers should be able to see the change in consumption patterns, with less car fuel consumed and fewer vehicles overall and a drop in consumption - based transport emissions, she said.

«Regional changes are mostly due to natural variability but on top of that we see this pronounced overall weakening in summer storm activity,» says co-author Dim Coumou, «This is also something projected by climate models under future emission scenarios.

Overall, the total amount of CH4 emissions that atmospheric scientists see from high latitudes is half of that in bottom - up estimates, and scientists are working to understand this discrepancy [Bruhwiler et al., 2014].

In a passage that will likely hearten those seeing the climate change fight as a fight over capitalism, leaked version includes the pope's rejection of markets in carbon credits as a solution, warning (this is The Guardian translation) that this «could give rise to a new form of speculation and would not help to reduce the overall emission of polluting gases.»

Russia and Japan are two industrial countries that did not see an overall decline in carbon emissions over the past five years.

Computer modeling of the NRDC plan, which used the same model used by the EPA, suggests that if the EPA does follow this approach, the US could see a 26 percent cut in power plant emissions — and an overall reduction in the US carbon footprint of 10 percent by 2020 — the largest share of achieving the 17 percent reduction the president has called for.

It sees international trading in emissions units as a legitimate and possibly large part of the overall contribution.

Recent spatial analyses of reservoir CH4 dynamics highlight the disproportionate importance of inlets and other depositional zones toward overall flux (DelSontro et al. 2011, Maeck et al. 2013) as well as from seasonally flooded and downstream zones (see the Emissions From Alternative Flux Pathways section).

Commenting on the release of the emissions figures, Dr Mary Kelly, Director General of the Environmental Protection Agency stated, «the Emissions Trading Scheme is designed to bring about reductions in emissions at least cost, and is seen to play an increasingly important role in assisting European industry implement the type of reductions envisaged in the EU Commission's recent decisions on an overall 20 percent reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in the EU by 2020... While no doubt some of the reduction reflects the economic downturn which began to have significant impact during 2008, nonetheless the overall picture is one of progressive annual GHG emission reductionemissions figures, Dr Mary Kelly, Director General of the Environmental Protection Agency stated, «the Emissions Trading Scheme is designed to bring about reductions in emissions at least cost, and is seen to play an increasingly important role in assisting European industry implement the type of reductions envisaged in the EU Commission's recent decisions on an overall 20 percent reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in the EU by 2020...

Asked about the UK position, he said: «There is a tension between those who see the free market as the overall objective and those who see the need to reduce CO2 emissions quickly.»

In other words, if it continues, the recent trend in sea ice loss may triple overall Arctic warming, causing large emissions in carbon dioxide and methane from the tundra this century (for a review of recent literature on the tundra, see «Science stunner: Vast East Siberian Arctic Shelf methane stores destabilizing and venting; NSF issues world a wake - up call: «Release of even a fraction of the methane stored in the shelf could trigger abrupt climate warming»).

To simplify the idea — if 95 % of atmospheric CO2 is natural but we do not know how much overall the natural emissions amounts change over time, but we do know they change, it is easy to see that a 10 % change in natural emissions would have potentially great change to total CO2.

The overall net emission over this period = + 0.5 units yet we can see how anthropogenic and sea (e.g. warming) contribute equally to this figure while net natural emission (i.e. sea + land) is — 0.5 Do we really know enough about the carbon cycle, in particular the natural fluxes of CO2, to rule out that some thing like this is going on?

So much so, that despite a slight rise in transportation emissions, overall emissions are down to levels last consistently seen in the 1890s.
