Effect of COVID-19 on Climate Change
In this article we examine what impact the coronavirus pandemic is likely to have on greenhouse gas emissions during the global economic shutdown. We look
Articles on GHG emissions, their impact on the greenhouse effect and global temperatures, plus profiles of cement industry, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and fluorocarbons. Analysis of Emissions Gap, carbon capture & storage, and much more.
In this article we examine what impact the coronavirus pandemic is likely to have on greenhouse gas emissions during the global economic shutdown. We look
The cement industry produces huge emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) annually. These emissions are not sustainable. They ramp up global warming and do untold damage
This article takes a brief look at some of the discrepancies in the statistics on greenhouse gas emissions, that are offered to the world’s media
In the context of climate change, methane (CH4) is a powerful greenhouse gas (GHG) that accumulates in the troposphere, where it traps heat escaping from
Every year, since 2010, the United Nations Environment Programme produces its flagship report on climate change, known as the Emissions Gap Report. The report provides
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the most damaging of all the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, due to its abundance and long active life, and its
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) – whose variants include “Carbon, capture utilisation and storage” (CCUS) and “Bio-energy with carbon capture and storage” (BECCS) – is
More famous as ‘laughing gas’ than for its influence on global warming, Nitrous oxide (N2O) is one of the worst greenhouse gases in terms of
Why are methane levels rising? Because they shouldn’t be. The IPCC assumed carbon dioxide would be the problem – they had no idea that methane
In climate science, the term “greenhouse gases” (GHGs) describes those gases that contribute to the “greenhouse effect” in the troposphere, by trapping infrared heat energy
In the context of global warming, the term “greenhouse gas emissions” refers to man-made discharges of greenhouse gases that gather in the lower atmosphere, where
In climate science, the so-called “Greenhouse Effect” is a natural climatic mechanism, occurring in the lower atmosphere, in which greenhouse gases like water vapor and
