.” In April, Transport & Environment and other environmental groups, joined by wind and solar companies, wrote an open letter urging the European Commission to adopt a “robust definition” for low-carbon hydrogen, with stringent conditions attached to blue hydrogen production. kilograms of CO2e per kilogram of hydrogen.

Other problematic sources of air pollution include methane, which produces hazardous ground-level ozone that is linked to health conditions such as lung damage, chest pain , and exacerbated respiratory diseases. I can tell you that the real number is definitely higher,” he said. Notably, both methane and many major forms of PM 2.5

But there are other GHGs that contribute significantly to human-induced global warming such as methane (CH 4 ), nitrous oxide (N 2 0), refrigerant gasses (HFCs, PFCs, and CFCs), sulfur hexafluoride (SF 6 ), water vapor (H 2 0), and ozone (O 3 ). This translation is based on the global warming potential (GWP) of a given GHG.

In interviews afterward, Shatner made a plea for the planet as TV hosts tried to steer him toward topics lighter than death and global warming. In response, NASA began positioning itself as an environmental authority, publicizing its new satellite technology that monitored the oceans, air pollution, and the ozone layer.

Inside the University of Chicago’s controversial solar geoengineering initiative

Adding sulfate aerosols to the stratosphere would degrade the ozone layer (thereby increasing global cancer rates) and increase acid rain. If, for example, solar geoengineering is deployed successfully, and it cools the Earth and lessens the impacts of global warming, people may continue emitting carbon dioxide as they do now.
