Risk, doubt, and the burden of proof in the climate debate

At one such event in 2014, speaker Christopher Monckton surveyed the room and declared that everyone there agreed that humanity’s "emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases have contributed to the measured global warming since 1950." His point was to make it clear that "we are not climate change deniers."

Prevention: A profitable mindset when it comes to gas leaks

CFCs have a high chlorine content and have been linked strongly to ozone depletion and global warming. HCFCs were considered an improvement when they were first introduced, as they have lower chlorine and make a lesser contribution to ozone depletion and global warming. Green hydrogen.

The quest for cleaner air

Diverse compounds are emitted by everything from motor vehicles to power plants, and include both greenhouse gases and short-lived climate pollutants – which are known to fuel global warming – as well as a host of volatile organic compounds that can lead to short- and long-term health problems in humans. trillion, equivalent to 6.1

C present-day global warming relative to pre-industrial times. Due to its climate and indirect health impacts (methane is a precursor for ozone which is an air pollutant that damages human health and crops), methane mitigation has recently become a global policy priority.

We are betting the bank on hydrogen. But are we ready for it?

Envirotec Magazine

Researchers of the University of Groningen discuss the challenges it currently presents. Specifically, these reactions lead to more methane, ozone and water vapour high up in the atmosphere, which all result in global warming. Hydrogen is the smallest, simplest element that was at the beginning of all other things.

It has also yet to be determined how to account for likely leaks of hydrogen — which is considered an “indirect” greenhouse gas because it causes chemical reactions that affect concentrations of methane, ozone, and stratospheric water vapor, as well as aerosols. And how to ensure such certifications are accurate?
