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. The process helps organizations highlight and target high GHG emitting operations with emission reduction strategies. C) within reach.

Duane Levine gives a presentation to the company’s board of directors where he’s comparing what governments did with these chemicals called CFCs that were destroying the ozone layer, with what might happen to fossil fuels when governments start to focus on climate change. I didn’t even know until later he had done ozone hole denial.

How can environmental justice best be advanced in the current political moment that is part of a greater historical transition to a non-white population majority by the mid-2040s? EPA historically has identified “critical population sub-groups” in setting ozone, particulate and other ambient air quality standards.

Adding sulfate aerosols to the stratosphere would degrade the ozone layer (thereby increasing global cancer rates) and increase acid rain. The United States supported research, but argued it should be conducted by a different mechanism — specifically, within a climate research program at the World Meteorological Organization.
