Unlike its carbon cousin, sulfur dioxide tends to cool the planet by creating aerosols that reflect sunlight while also making clouds brighter. Cutting carbon dioxide is, of course, critical. Luckily, when combined, the greenhouse gases methane and ground-level ozone warm the planet as much as aerosols cool it.
Eras in the Earth’s history are defined by major climactic events and distinguished through the fossil record, carbon dating, and other methods. Stratospheric ozone depletion – The stratospheric ozone layer in the atmosphere filters out ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. The Holocene. The Anthropocene.
Methane emissions reduction could significantly reduce rates of global warming at a relatively low cost, major research warns. As such, the report emphasises that methane mitigation is "one of the best ways of limiting warming in this and subsequent decades".
What is carbon accounting? Carbon accounting – also known as a carbon or greenhouse gas inventory – is the process of measuring the amount of carbon dioxide, or other greenhouse gases (GHG), an organization emits. Carbon accounting is a must for any becoming business today.
Preliminary data shows that methane emissions jumped in 2020 by the largest amount since systematic record-keeping began decades ago. And despite a dip in polluting activities due to the pandemic, concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere rose to its highest level in 3.6 million years. ppb rise in 2019. ppb rise in 2019.
