Greenhouse gases

Her country fully intended to ratify the Kyoto Protocol and was implementing measures to reduce greenhouse gases.

Agricultural sources of greenhouse gases

While some chemical inputs generate greenhouse gases, some farmers choose alternatives, or specially treated inputs to reduce their emissions.

Twenty years ago, the world agreed to reduce sharply emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases, but little progress has been made.

The upcoming Montreal Climate Conference must take serious decisions on future actions to halt climate change, in which the largest historical producers of greenhouse gases must immediately reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Furthermore, methane biogas has been tested to prove that it can reduce 99 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions or about 4 of the greenhouse gases produced by the United States.

One possibility is to establish climate neutrality as a long term global objective i.e., work to reduce net emissions of greenhouse gases to zero.

If successful, the centerpiece of their efforts would be a global deal on how to reduce harmful greenhouse gases, by how much, and when.

There are also some contexts, however, that can require trade offs between efforts to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and emissions of conventional air pollutants.

The most reasonable conclusion is that we should limit particle emissions to reduce health risks. As a consequence, the greenhouse effect would come more fully into view, which we could then hope would further strengthen the resolve to reduce emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases.

They also contribute least to the global emissions of greenhouse gases.

This year, China will surpass the US in emissions of greenhouse gases.

We know from measurements that greenhouse gases are accumulating in Earth s atmosphere.

The atmosphere is filling with greenhouse gases from heavy use of fossil fuels.

Urgent action is needed both to adapt to the climate change that is inevitable and to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, especially CO2, to prevent further damage as far as possible.

Negotiations to address future action on climate change will continue at the global level in order to reduce greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and stop human interference with the climate system.

Malaysia was pleased that the Russian Federation had decided to sign and ratify the Kyoto Protocol and his country had taken specific and concrete steps to reduce the release of greenhouse gases.

An international programme of action which was both equitable and efficient required that the world's biggest economies accepted their responsibility and undertook effective measures to substantially reduce their emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs).

For example ISO 14064 on Greenhouse gases, US DOE 1605(b) on General Guidelines for Voluntary Greenhouse Gas Reporting, WRI WBCSD on The Greenhouse Gas Protocol A Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard.

Africa has thus contributed nothing to the historical accumulation of greenhouse gases through carbon based industrialization.

Naturally, measures targeting soot and other short lived particles must not undermine efforts to reduce CO2 emissions. In the long term, emissions of CO2 and other long lived greenhouse gases constitute the main problem.

Action is needed in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

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

What is the exact relationship between levels of greenhouse gases It's urgent work. We know that temperatures are rising.

CO2e emissions are equivalent emissions of all the greenhouse gases and particles that cause warming and converted to CO2.

Atmospheric greenhouse gases allow sunlight to pass through but absorb heat and radiate some down to the earth s surface.

At the same time, large amounts of greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere during production, processing, and cooking.

There is now little doubt that greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, are leading to significant changes in climate.

Second, the externality is truly global in scale, because greenhouse gases travel around the world in a few days.

Emission of greenhouse gases and other pollutants, contributing to global warming and climate change and affecting local air quality.

Concerns about global warming and production of greenhouse gases from fossil fuels are stimulating increasing interest in renewable energies.

Observing systems. Understanding atmospheric change requires an integrated system for collecting data on a wide array of parameters, including greenhouse gases, ozone, solar radiation, precipitation chemistry, aerosols, reactive gases and meteorology.

Well, Bob said the most important thing we could do right now is to make it clear in Sacramento, California that we need a market based system of mandates that's going to cap and reduce greenhouse gases in California.

The scientific evidence does not support such arguments. Urgent action is needed both to adapt to the climate change that is inevitable and to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, especially CO2, to prevent further damage as far as possible.

Given that China currently is the world s largest emitter of greenhouse gases, it clearly has an outsize role to play.

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

Although the activities described above result in the emission of greenhouse gases, most are necessary and, in many cases, unavoidable.

Greenhouse gases are released from certain fertilizers and pesticide inputs, and from the clearing and converting of non agricultural lands.

And that is now what we're trying to do, and working with this large cities group to fight climate change, to negotiate huge, big, volume deals that will enable cities which generate 75 percent of the world's greenhouse gases, to drastically and quickly reduce greenhouse gas emissions in a way that is good economics.

At that point, power companies that use antiquated technologies that emit massive amounts of greenhouse gases may face serious financial losses.

Climate scientists have warned for years that global warming caused by manmade emissions of greenhouse gases will generate more extreme storms.

Interestingly, some of the most important initiatives to stem greenhouse gases and promote green growth are the products of local pressures.
