The conventional six - speed auto — minus shift paddles — is well matched to the engine too, a little less efficient than the dual - clutch transmissions seen in Megane and Golf but not way off the charts in delivering effective power and helping the engine maintain minimal CO2 emissions.

It provides faster, smoother shifts than the old six - speed auto, while also contributing to a 5.7 mpg gain in fuel economy and an 88g / km reduction in CO2 emissions.

Given that impacts don't scale linearly — that's true both because of the statistics of normal distributions, which imply that (damaging) extremes become much more frequent with small shifts in the mean, and because significant breakpoints such as melting points for sea ice, wet - bulb temperatures too high for human survival, and heat tolerance for the most significant human food crops are all «in play» — the model forecasts using reasonable emissions inputs ought to be more than enough for anyone using sensible risk analysis to know that we making very bad choices right now.

I can't think of a bigger potential shift in greenhouse gas emissions than China shifting aggressively from coal to gas.

This shift away from CO2 - centric emissions debates is also evident in a group blog post by analysts at the Center for American Progress, who propose a «multiple multilateralism» approach on climate that, among other things, seeks quick steps on sources of warming other than carbon dioxide — particularly sooty Arctic pollution and gases already considered under the existing ozone - protection treaty.

Domestically it would appear that major shifts in the trajectory of greenhouse gas emissions will come as a result of the larger scale development and deployment of lower emitting sources of energy rather than through a climate bill that constrains emissions.

But I do agree with the Breakthrough point that an overemphasis on current events as the reason to pursue the decades - long task of shifting global greenhouse emissions trajectories can backfire, and in more ways than they describe.

More than 20 countries have «decoupled» their carbon emissions from GDP, showing that economies can grow while shifting to a low - carbon pathway.

Suffice it to say that there are indications that at least a major part of the current sea ice retreat is due to naturally occurring shifts in weather patterns, rather than simply to Arctic swarming caused by human GHG emissions, as some people apparently believe.

«Even though EU policy has managed to reduce CO2 emissions domestically,» Peiser notes, «this was only achieved by shifting energy - intensive and heavy industries overseas: to locations where there are no stringent emission limits, where energy and labour is cheap and which are now growing much faster than the EU.»

It was a shift that made perfect sense on paper, but not on the ground, where the country's forest fires have been pumping more greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere than do all the planes, trains, and factories of the United States, as the World Resources Institute (WRI) pointed out in a blog post called Indonesia's Fire Outbreaks Producing More Daily Emissions than Entire US Economy.

Shifting to the highly efficient bulbs sharply reduces monthly electricity bills and cuts carbon emissions, since each standard (13 watt) compact fluorescent over its lifetime reduces coal use by more than 210 pounds.

The company expects energy demand to grow at an average of about 1 % annually over the next three decades — faster than population but much slower than the global economy — with increasing efficiency and a gradual shift toward lower - emission energy sources: Gas increases faster than oil and by more BTUs in total, while coal grows for a while longer but then shrinks back to current levels.

Most experts in the Kilimanjaro debate accept three things: for more than a century, its ice has been in a retreat that is almost assuredly unstoppable and was not caused by humans; so far, there is scant data on conditions there; and the main scientific question now is how, and how much, climate shifts driven by heat - trapping emissions are accelerating that trend.

A shift by utilities away from coal and toward natural gas during the last 15 years has helped make carbon emissions from power plants 23 percent lower than they otherwise would have been, said research scientist Joost de Gouw of the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences at University of Colorado at Boulder.

Focusing on the carbon emissions associated with tropical deforestation, it showed that converting rainforests or grasslands to corn, soybean, or palm oil biofuel production led to a carbon emissions increase — a «biofuel carbon debt» — that was at least 37 times greater than the annual reduction in greenhouse gases resulting from the shift from fossil fuels to biofuels.

If we continue on our current emissions path, we're already headed for warming of up to 9 degrees Fahrenheit by 2100, which few climate scientists argue would be anything other than catastrophic, because of the drastic rise in sea levels, heat waves, species extinctions and shifts in rainfall that would result.

And with US electricity generation dominated by coal, H2 from electrolysis — cracking water into its components using electricity — looked more like a way to shift, rather than reduce vehicle emissions.

Although this shift from production ghg to consumption related ghg as a way of establishing national responsibility to achieve ghg emissions reduction targets is not likely to happen in the short - term, those who desire to assign liability on the basis of consumption could also use the C&C framework more easier than other proposed equity frameworks.

(The United States has been essentially more successful than any other country in the world in cutting growth in CO2 emissions, pretty much entirely because of a shift to natural gas.)

The modeling projects that the vast majority of emission reductions achieved by these industries under a cap - and - trade program will be from reductions in the emission - intensity of their production (e.g., increased energy efficiency, or shifts to lower - emission production methods), rather than from declines in production associated with increased imports from unregulated countries.

Finally, latest global emission trends are higher than those anticipated in most IPCC scenarios, largely because of higher economic growth and a shift towards more carbon intensive sources of energy.

As a result of declining demand and this generation shift, power sector emissions fell by roughly the same amount in 2017 as the 2005 - 2016 annual average (Figure 2), though less than in 2016 and 2015 specifically.

For many of the groups working for the equal involvement of women in climate change issues, the deliberations on climate change are too narrowly focused on the politics of emissions reductions, rather than the long - term social and community initiatives that could underpin a real shift in a global consciousness or more effective practices of post-disaster rebuilding.In a statement to the U.N. General Assembly in July of this year, executive director of the Women's Environment and Development Organization (WEDO), June Zeitlin, points out: «Women have always been leaders in community revitalization and natural resource management.

Volkswagen introduced a turbo - diesel hybrid - electric Golf concept car at the Geneva Motor Show, and the specs were impressive: 70 miles per gallon (3.3 liters per 100 kilometers), a 7 - speed direct shift gearbox (DSG) with a twin - clutch, minor modifications to reduce aerodynamic drag, CO2 emissions of 89 g / km (lower than a Toyota Prius hybrid), and Tier 2 Bin 5 tailpipe emissions.
