Sentences with phrase «slightly less emissions»

That allows CO2 emission of just 112g / km and an official combined consumption figure of 57.6 mpg in the manual - the auto delivering better economy and slightly less emissions.

This is because part of the outgoing radiation signal (albeit small) is emerging from relatively warm layers aloft, and thus slightly less emission is demanded from the troposphere in order to satisfy planetary energy balance.

Not exact matches

So billions of pounds are to be spent increasing emissions and increasing the number of people suffering from noise pollution, only for a few hundred million to be spent making that situation slightly less worse than it might otherwise have been.

In contrast, emissions increased less in the US and Canada, and decreased slightly in Western Europe.

The automatic version is slightly less efficient with CO2 emissions of 109g / km.

US cars produce slightly less power than their European counterparts due to emissions restrictions in place at the time.

Granted, following an upgrade to meet Euro 6 emissions standards — which also brings a quoted «three to four per cent» improvement in fuel economy — it makes slightly less power and torque -LRB--3 kW / -4 Nm).

* Because of Doppler and pressure broadening the absorption and emission profiles from CO2 are slightly narrower for colder, less dense gases.

Locally, absorption and emission do cancel exactly: only the DIRECTION of photons is slightly anisotropic: a little bit more photons come from the lower, hotter layers and a little bit less from the upper, colder ones.

The frequency at which photons are emitted or absorbed is small relative to the rate of energy redistribution among molecules and their modes, so the fraction of some molecules that are excited in some way is only slightly more or less than the characteristic fraction for that temperature (depending on whether photons absorption to generate that particular state is greater than photon emission from that state or vice versa, which depends on the brightness temperature of the incident radiation relative to the local temperature).

To project future emissions from human activities, we used the SRES higher (A1FI) and lower (B1) emissions scenarios that capture to some extent the uncertainty in future climate due to human decisions [22], with CO2 emissions ranging from slightly less than present - day levels up to four times present - day levels by 2100.

If we use the overflowing bath tub analogy the bath tub (allowable co2 emissions) remains the same size but the overflow from it (to much co2) merely becomes slightly less.

You hear this all the time, from companies, industries, agencies, and countries, about emission «reductions» that are, in fact, merely slightly - less - enormous emission increases.

While the richest income class in this study, earning more than 30,000 rupees a month, produce slightly less than the global average CO2 emissions of 5 tonnes, this amount already exceeds the sustainable global average CO2 emissions of 2.5 tonnes per capita that needs to be reached to limit global warming below 2 degrees centigrade.

Regardless of whether Curry is right about the climate being slightly less sensitive to CO2 (something that hundreds of thousands of years of paleoclimate records suggest is false) the fact remains that the sooner we reduce emissions, the less damage we will endure.

Human CO2 emissions from all sources are currently adding the equivalent of 4.5 ppmv annually, yet we only observe an annual increase of 2.2 ppmv, or slightly less than half this amount.

DECC's tool shows this transition might be slightly more, or slightly less expensive than the cost of doing nothing to tackle emissions.

California emissions have actually declined less over the last 15 years than the U.S. average, while German emissions actually rose slightly during the period of intensive solar and wind deployment, and it has recently cut back on subsidies for renewables.

6 Today's high - income countries (per capita income of $ 20,000 or more) are responsible for slightly less than half of all CO2 emissions.
