AB32 requires the state to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 30 percent by 2020.

As a result, Latvia has the lowest per capita greenhouse gas emissions in the EU.

Some two thirds of the greenhouse gas emissions that are causing climate change trace back to fossil fuel use.

Each would introduce aggressive targets for reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.

And Japan s greenhouse gas emissions were to be cut by 25 relative to 1990 s levels.

And, third, realistic solutions are possible, which will allow the world to combine economic development and control of greenhouse gases.

I was pleased to see that a large Chinese energy company, Shanghai Electric, recently indicated public support for substantial reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.

Sixty regional and local governments, responsible for 15 of global greenhouse gas emissions, are also taking action.

The need for concerted action to limit greenhouse gas emissions is beyond doubt.

Engines equipped with EcoBoost technology are designed to deliver power and torque consistent with those of larger engine displacement, naturally aspirated engines while achieving approximately 20 better fuel efficiency and 15 reduced greenhouse emissions than these same engines.

Furthermore, per kilogram of manure, you have much, much less ammonia and fewer greenhouse gases when you have insect manure than when you have cow manure.

Greenhouse gas emissions are expected to reach a record high of 36 billion tons this year.

We have selected three widely discussed methods of allocating GHG emission quotas to different countries

De forestation currently accounts for roughly a fifth of all greenhouse gas emissions.

And nothing was done about deforestation, which is contributing almost as much to increases in greenhouse gas concentrations as the US.

We also encourage China s active participation in the Major Economies Meeting efforts to develop a post 2012 framework for greenhouse gas reduction.

Let's rebrand global warming, as many of you have suggested.

He called for delays in reducing greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming, which in turn causes the energy of hurricanes to rise.

Consider some numbers from the Stern Review concerning the future benefits of preventing greenhouse gas concentrations from exceeding 550 ppm, as well as the costs of accomplishing this.

Is it really necessary for us to cut all emissions? Just cutting about half of all emissions would reduce greenhouse gas concentrations in the medium term.

When confronted with their exaggerations, the authors claimed that if you reduce hazardous air pollution, it is difficult to not also reduce warming emissions.

This puts a new debate center stage how to reconcile increased action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions with strong economic growth.

In Warsaw and beyond, it is vitally important that the international community reaches a sufficiently high common denominator in limiting greenhouse gas emissions.

In other words, the benefit of mitigating greenhouse gas emissions can be represented as the increase in the annual growth rate from today to 2200 from 1.2 to 1.3 .

China and the United States are the two largest GHG emitters, and it seems unlikely that any global agreement to reduce emissions will be effective unless both participate.

The plan s main point is to establish an Ad Hoc Working Group to reach a detailed global agreement by 2009 that will set measurable, reportable, and verifiable commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The great question, of course, is whether stabilization of greenhouse gases, continued economic development, and adaptation to climate change can be achieved simultaneously.

Consider energy efficiency, which can help bring one quarter of all gains in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Greenhouse gas emissions may have dropped as a consequence of reduced production amid the economic recession, but the coal resurgence does not bode well for future targets.

Because the financial crisis has lowered greenhouse gas emissions, the 20 reduction target set before the crisis is no longer challenging enough to catalyze a structural shift in the European economy.

Judging by the way much of the media reported his words, it seemed as if China had actually made an important announcement on cutting greenhouse gas emissions.

Just five years from now, developing countries are projected to emit more greenhouse gases than all developed countries.

These calculations indicate that a Blueprints world with CO2 capture and storage results in the least amount of climate change, provided emissions of other major manmade greenhouse gases are similarly reduced.

It is beyond the shadow of a doubt that greenhouse gas emissions must be radically reduced to prevent climate change from sliding into climate chaos.

Continued greenhouse gas emissions on the massive scale of today would have devastating consequences, including more frequent and more intense weather events.

30. Mitigation of carbon emissions to reduce global warming

One might recall that many delegations arrived in Kyoto resignedly willing to accept the idea of a tax on greenhouse gas emissions, or at least on carbon dioxide, the most commonly encountered greenhouse gas.

The consensus among scientists is that the atmosphere of the young Earth contained much larger quantities of greenhouse gases (such as carbon dioxide, methane and or ammonia) than are present today, which trapped enough heat to compensate for the smaller amount of solar energy reaching it.

It is now clear that avoiding catastrophic climate change requires dramatic and rapid reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, cuts that would lower annual emissions to 80 below 1990 levels by 2050.

Greenhouse gas emissions are the archetypal case.

The main greenhouse gas is carbon dioxide.

Its publication is timely, because the European Union will decide this year whether to raise its target for greenhouse gas reduction.

Chinarejects India s argument that per capita emission levels and historic contributions of greenhouse gases should form the objective criteria for carbon mitigation.

And agriculture is also a major culprit in climate change, responsible for 33 of all greenhouse gas emissions if deforestation for cultivation and pastures is included in the tally.

Such taxes play a crucial role in cutting the carbon emissions that cause climate change.
