Climate Change and Greenhouse Gases
Adopted by Council December, 2002 Atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases have substantially increased as a consequence of fossil fuel combustion and other human activities. These elevated concentrations of greenhouse gases are predicted to persist in the atmosphere for times ranging to thousands of years. Increasing concentrations of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases affect the Earth-atmosphere energy balance, enhancing the natural greenhouse effect and thereby exerting a warming influence at the Earth's surface. Because of these uncertainties, there is much public debate over the extent to which increased concentrations of greenhouse gases have caused or will cause climate change, and over potential actions to limit and/or respond to climate change. It is important that public debate take into account the extent of scientific knowledge and the uncertainties. Science cannot be the sole source of guidance on how society should respond to climate issues. Nonetheless, scientific understanding based on peer-reviewed research must be central to informed decision-making. AGU calls for an enhancement of research to improve the quantification of anthropogenic influences on climate. To this end, international programs of research are essential. AGU encourages scientists worldwide to participate in such programs and in scientific assessments and policy discussions. The world may already be committed to some degree of human-caused climate change, and further buildup of greenhouse gas concentrations maybe expected to cause further change. Some of these changes may be beneficial and others damaging for different parts of the world. However, the rapidity and uneven geographic distribution of these changes could be very disruptive. AGU recommends the development and evaluation of strategies such as emissions reduction, carbon sequestration, and adaptation to the impacts of climate change. AGU believes that the present level of scientific uncertainty does not justify inaction in the mitigation of human-induced climate change and/or the adaptation to it.

Stormy weather: Feedbacks mean increasing uncertainty
By Alex Kirby
BBC News Online environment correspondent British scientists say greenhouse gases are at the highest background levels ever recorded in the atmosphere. They say stabilising the amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) will be harder, because a warming world will trigger feedback mechanisms. Their report says the UK exceeded its international target for cutting greenhouse emissions by 2000. The UK Government says the scientists' findings show much more needs to be done to reduce emissions. The report, the Global Atmosphere Research Programme 2000-2002, is published by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra). More to do It provides the results of Defra's research programme on climate change and stratospheric ozone, based at the UK's Hadley Centre for Climate Prediction and Research.

Uses 1992 inputoutput table of US economy to show economic and environmental effects of producing 500 commodities. Environmental impacts of production are expressed in terms of Conventional Pollutants, greenhouse gases, Toxic Chemicals, and other releases.
http://www.eiolca.net
We have recently finished updating conventional pollutant and greenhouse gas data for the 1997 model and greenhouse gas and fuel data for the 1992 model. Please note the new estimates. This site allows you to estimate the overall environmental impacts from producing a certain dollar amount of any of 500 commodities or services in the United States. It will provide rough guidance on the relative impacts of different types of products, materials, services, or industries with respect to resource use and emissions throughout the U.S. The entire supply chain of requirements is included, so that the effects of producing a $20,000 motor vehicle would include not only the impacts of final assembly, but also the impact from mining of metals, making electronic parts, forming windows, etc. that are needed for parts to build the car. This analysis is a form of life cycle assessment based upon an economic input output model of the United States, publicly available data and linear algebra calculation methods. The impact model is linear, so the effects of a $20,000 motor vehicle purchase would be double that of a $10,000 motor vehicle. Remember that this data is only for production, so impacts of gasoline use and maintenance need to be evaluated separately. Environmental impacts include energy use, air pollutants, hazardous wastes, toxics emissions and dollar estimates of external air pollution costs. See the

By Alex Kirby
BBC News Online environment correspondent Developed countries must start working urgently towards massive cuts in emissions of greenhouse gases, says a UK environmentalist group. The call from the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) comes on the opening day of a climate conference in the Indian capital Delhi. The conference brings together countries which have signed the Kyoto Protocol, the international agreement on tackling climate change. The RSPB says emissions cuts of 60% must be implemented by the middle of the 21st Century to slow down global warming. Developed countries have agreed so far to try to reduce greenhouse emissions to 5.2% below their 1990 levels. Respected The RSPB is respected for its work in the UK and abroad to conserve not only species but entire eco-systems, and the human societies that depend on them.

Home About CMDL Publications Organization ... FAQ Carbon Cycle Greenhouse Gases Group (CCGG) The use of fossil fuels and practice of deforestation to meet the world's energy demands has lead to increasing concentrations of carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere. Both gases absorb terrestrial infrared radiation and have the potential to affect earth's climate. Before policies can be developed to limit the emissions of these gases into the atmosphere, their biogeochemical cycling must be understood. The NOAA CMDL Carbon Cycle Greenhouse Gases group makes ongoing discrete measurements from land and sea surface sites and aircraft, and continuous measurements from baseline observatories and tall towers. These measurements document the spatial and temporal distributions of carbon-cycle gases and provide essential constraints to our understanding of the global carbon cycle. Cooperative Air Sampling Network - The NOAA CMDL CCGG cooperative air sampling network is an international effort which includes regular discrete samples from the four NOAA CMDL baseline observatories, cooperative fixed sites, and commercial ships. Air samples are collected approximately weekly from a globally distributed network of sites.

Fuel Cells - Reducing Greenhouse Gases
Bob Kenyon
Due to the evident threat of global warming industries, individuals, governments and academics are searching to find ways to reduce greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases, primarily water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide, trap the heat of the sun, preventing radiation from dissipating into space. Canada's commitment, to the December 1997 Kyoto Protocol, was to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 6% below 1990 levels by 2008-2012. One of the biggest producers of green house gases, are our main form of transportation...cars. Obviously we need ways to reduce the emissions from vehicles. How to reduce these emissions may come from a small company, Ballard Power Systems (www.ballard.com/) located in the Vancouver area. Based on the solid polymer fuel cells, of the type that were first developed by General Electric to fly in NASA's 1960's Gemini space program; Ballard have developed a cell that produces electricity by electrochemically combining hydrogen fuel. The hydrogen can be obtained from fuels such as natural gas, methanol, or petroleum, and oxygen from the air. When fueled by pure hydrogen, heat and pure water vapor are the only by-products from the fuel cell's electrochemical reaction. Ballard Power Systems is recognized as the world leader in developing, manufacturing and marketing zero-emission proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells for use in transportation, electricity generation and portable power products. Ballard Power Systems' proprietary fuel cell technology is enabling automobile, electrical equipment and portable power product manufacturers to develop environmentally clean products for sale. To this extent Ballard is partnering with strong, world-leading companies in all of the related industries.

36. Coal Combustion
Article discusses coal combustion which produces carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. Releases from coal combustion also contain naturally occurring radioactive materials.
http://www.ornl.gov/ORNLReview/rev26-34/text/colmain.html
ver the past few decades, the American public has become increasingly wary of nuclear power because of concern about radiation releases from normal plant operations, plant accidents, and nuclear waste. Except for Chernobyl and other nuclear accidents, releases have been found to be almost undetectable in comparison with natural background radiation. Another concern has been the cost of producing electricity at nuclear plants. It has increased largely for two reasons: compliance with stringent government regulations that restrict releases of radioactive substances from nuclear facilities into the environment and construction delays as a result of public opposition. Partly because of these concerns about radioactivity and the cost of containing it, the American public and electric utilities have preferred coal combustion as a power source. Today 52% of the capacity for generating electricity in the United States is fueled by coal, compared with 14.8% for nuclear energy. Although there are economic justifications for this preference, it is surprising for two reasons. First, coal combustion produces carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that are suspected to cause climatic warming, and it is a source of sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides, which are harmful to human health and may be largely responsible for acid rain. Second, although not as well known, releases from coal combustion contain naturally occurring radioactive materialsmainly, uranium and thorium.
