 "Trains
As much as 10 percent of America's total greenhouse gas emission from all sources may come from airplanes—half as much as comes from road transport. That is because airplanes produce not just C02, but also nitrogen oxides that are converted to ozone—a greenhouse gas—in the troposphere. (Ozone is desirable in the stratosphere, the layer in the atmosphere above the troposphere, because it blocks harmful UV radiation. However, it is harmful in the troposphere, the lowest layer of the atmosphere, where it contributes to global warming."- Denis Hayes, The Official Earth Day Guide to Planet Repair (Get the book.) "Kyoto target. Set greenhouse gas Standards for Vehicle Fuels: 4.5 Percent. Just as a renewable portfolio standard for electric utilities reduces the amount of carbon emissions from electricity each year, greenhouse gas standards could be used to gradually reduce the net amount of carbon emitted each year from motor vehicles. This would create immediate incentives for cellulosic ethanol and, soon, for renewable hydrogen. A 5 percent reduction in carbon emissions from motor vehicle fuels by 2010 would eliminate 22 million metric tons per year." - Denis Hayes, The Official Earth Day Guide to Planet Repair (Get the book.) "During this process, the carbon in the gasoline, methanol, naphtha, or other fuel is emitted as a greenhouse gas. In other words, although the fuel cell itself runs clean—producing only water as a by-product—the hydrogen production process emits greenhouse gas. It is not yet clear whether this hydrogen extraction will be done aboard each vehicle (essentially requiring each car to carry a mini-refinery), or at service stations, where the car's tanks would be filled with hydrogen. The ultimate goal is to produce hydrogen by using solar energy to split water into hydrogen and oxygen." - Denis Hayes, The Official Earth Day Guide to Planet Repair (Get the book.) |
 "Methane is twenty times stronger than the same quantity of carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas. The icing on the warming cake is that our gaping polar ozone holes allow more sunlight to come into the atmosphere and be trapped as heat.8
But the upward spiral of temperatures may not end here. Rising levels of oxides of nitrogen (NOX) from fertilizers dumped into coastal waters add even more greenhouse gas to the atmosphere.9 While the quantities are smaller, the NOX gases are 200 times stronger in warming the air than the same amount of carbon dioxide. They are also poisonous."- Brian O'Leary, Reinheriting the Earth: Awakening to Sustainable Solutions and Greater Truths (Get the book.) |
