"The situation is even worse in New Zealand, where a whopping 60% of greenhouse gas emissions come from livestock. vomiting blood, and bloody stools. (See The Scoop on Poop, below.) Finally, excessive burping with severe nausea or vomiting may be danger signs of a heart attack. FREQUENT FARTING Farting probably provokes more laughter and embarrassment than any other normal bodily function. Because of the sounds and smells that often accompany farts, they're hard to hide. Excessive gas in the digestive system is medically known as flatulence or flatus." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph. D., and Jacqueline Nardi Egan, Body Signs: From Warning Signs to False Alarms...How to Be Your Own Diagnostic Detective (Get the book.)

"By some accounts, the reductions proposed by the Kyoto Protocol are not nearly enough to deal with the problems of greenhouse gas emissions. In 1995 the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change called for greenhouse emissions to be cut immediately by 50-70%. But instead the level of emissions has continued to grow rapidly, with most of the increase coming from the developing countries. It is impossible to predict the ultimate cost to individuals and corporations of efforts to reduce emissions or to deal with other global limits to growth." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.)

"Billions in European investments are being steered into China at those exchanges, where companies based in the Kyoto signatory countries buy and sell pollution credits, in order to meet the goals of reducing overall greenhouse gas emissions by an average of 5.2 percent below 1990 levels by 2012. European or other firms may "invest" in renewable energy programs, known in the market as clean-development mechanisms, or CDMs, in China or elsewhere in order to offset their own volume of greenhouse gas emissions." - Mark Schapiro, Exposed: The Toxic Chemistry of Everyday Products and What's at Stake for American Power (Get the book.)

"Bali—acknowledged that evidence for global warming is "unequivocal" and that delays in reducing greenhouse gas emissions increase the risk of "severe climate change impacts." Although the U.S. continued to show reluctance to accept the economic costs and consequences of cutting emissions, no country in the world could contest any longer that ominous changes in the climate are actually taking place and that coping with them calls for urgent internationally orchestrated action." - Ervin Laszlo, Quantum Shift in the Global Brain: How the New Scientific Reality Can Change Us and Our World (Get the book.)

"European or other firms may "invest" in renewable energy programs, known in the market as clean-development mechanisms, or CDMs, in China or elsewhere in order to offset their own volume of greenhouse gas emissions. The World Bank estimates that the market in CDMs was close to $30 billion in 2006, and that sixty percent of those investments went to China." Those investments were in renewable energy like wind and solar power, energy-efficiency technologies, and updating old factories to eliminate emissions like hydrofluorocarbons, which contribute to erosion of the ozone layer." - Mark Schapiro, Exposed: The Toxic Chemistry of Everyday Products and What's at Stake for American Power (Get the book.) "The limitations on energy use agreed to by the signatories of the Kyoto accord have given a huge boost to European development of more efficient technology and alternative energy sources like wind and solar, which are growing yearly in the double digits and offering new export markets, while helping reduce greenhouse gas emissions. By contrast, the United States was arguing against change at a time when citizens on both continents were calling for greater environmental sensitivity in the marketplace. As C." - Mark Schapiro, Exposed: The Toxic Chemistry of Everyday Products and What's at Stake for American Power (Get the book.)

"It is hardly politically realistic to demand that greenhouse gas emissions come down by 60 per cent or so within the next decade, as would be required to stabilise atmospheric C02 concentrations below 400 ppm. Stabilise at 550 ppm, as the UK government's chief scientist Sir David King has suggested as the only politically realistic option, and our chances of staying below two degrees are slim - less than 20 per cent. With C02 levels that high, avoiding even three degrees becomes increasingly tricky." - Mark Lynas, Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet (Get the book.) "One model had slowed the MOC down by 25 to 30 per cent, but only after a century or two of sustained future greenhouse gas emissions. That reduction, as the modeller pointed out, 'is not a collapse'. And even if it happened, it might merely moderate the intensity of global warming around the North Atlantic rather than leading to any actual cooling. No big deal, in other words. But Atlantic circulation shutdown has always been more than just a theory. It has happened before." - Mark Lynas, Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet (Get the book.) "Partly these future temperature rises will be the result of emissions already in the past, and pardy they will reflect rapid expected rises in greenhouse gas emissions from human activity. That we can avoid higher temperature increases by cutting back emissions is a key point that I seek to illustrate in this book. Although I have done my best to ensure that the correct impact studies are presented in the correct chapters, there are occasions when the decision about what to put where is somewhat arbitrary." - Mark Lynas, Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet (Get the book.)

"Both GM and Toyota, along with Ford, Chrysler, and Honda, were party to a lawsuit seeking to overturn a California law requiring vehicles to produce 30 percent less greenhouse gas emissions than today's models, by 2016—goals that are roughly equivalent to emission restrictions that came into force in Europe following implementation of the Kyoto treaty." - Mark Schapiro, Exposed: The Toxic Chemistry of Everyday Products and What's at Stake for American Power (Get the book.)

"For example, a call is rising aimed at the producers of goods to reduce energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, air and water pollution, and waste from unnecessary packaging. Companies are made up of people, members of the community, and more and more are recognizing that in a global economy environmental problems and human problems are everyone's problem. The supply of products can only be sustained if the living Earth and its communities are revered and protected." - Ray Dodd, BeliefWorks: The Art of Living Your Dreams (Get the book.)

"Wind power is a clean, renewable source of energy, which produces no greenhouse gas emissions or waste products. One modern wind rurbine can save more than four thousand tons of C02 emissions in comparison to a power station producing the same amount of electricity. Over the past decade, Europe has taken the lead in the development and promotion of wind power; Germany and Denmark obtain more than 30 percent and 15 percent of their total electricity needs, respectively, from wind power." - David H. Rippe, Jared Rosen, The Flip: Turn Your World Around (Get the book.)

"Besides saving families about a third on their energy bill, the environment will benefit from similar savings of greenhouse gas emissions without sacrificing features, style, or comfort. If you are looking for new household products, look for ones that have earned the Energy Star label. Energy Star has provided us with great direction when we have had to purchase new appliances for our home and when Freedom Press has as well. We found our refrigerators (for home and office) and Bosch washing machine and dryers, thanks to Energy Star." - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the Global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.) "Very often what you see on the label can quickly tell you whether the product you are purchasing is good for you and good for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. For example, a label that lists preservatives such as any of the parabens (methyl, ethyl, butyl, or propyl), quaternium-15 (one of the leading causes of allergic reactions in cosmetics) or other quaternium-based compounds, diazolidinyl urea, imida-zolidinyl urea, methylchloroisothiazolone, or isochlorothiazi-line should signal to you that this is a product heavy on the petrochemicals and toxins you want to avoid." - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the Global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.) "The company's progress since then has been consistent with improvements in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In an unprecedented recycling initiative, Intel and eBay joined with leading technology companies, government agencies, and environmental groups to help pave the way for consumers and businesses to safely dispose of unwanted electronics. In September 2005, mailers went out to 3.2 million New York City households announcing the city's most ambitious personal computer, television, and cell phone recycling drive to date. Intel and Best Buy Co." - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the Global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.)

"This explains the rather counter-intuitive result obtained by one 2004 study which found that hundreds of millions more people would be at risk of contracting malaria in a future scenario with lower greenhouse gas emissions. This was because even though the low-emissions scenario had less climate change, it also saw lower economic growth combined with a bigger increase in population. This complexity means that estimates for global changes in population at risk from malaria vary from 150 million less than today to 400 million more, all according to the same study." - Mark Lynas, Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet (Get the book.)

"Other sources say transportation carbon dioxide emissions account for one-third of all carbon dioxide emissions, "more than from factories, homes, and all other individual sources."16) The industry's emissions are currently on track to rise by over one-third over the next fifteen years and double worldwide by 2050. If this happens, some experts say they will exacerbate the current global warming trend.17 It doesn't take a Ralph Nader to know that federal officials and consumers have shown a decided lack of leadership when it comes to fleet fuel economy standards in the nineties." - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the Global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.)

"This approach has been approved for international trading in emissions under the Kyoto Protocol to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and also has been used in other sectors in the United States, such as trading in water use reduction permits in California. Macroeconomics Macroeconomics is the top-down study of the economy as a whole: output, employment, price levels, and rate of growth. It provides ways to analyze such issues as levels of output, business cycles, inflation and deflation, short- and long-term unemployment, exports, and economic development." - The New York Times, The New York Times Guide to Essential Knowledge: A Desk Reference for the Curious Mind (Get the book.)
