Reduction of Transportation Greenhouse Gas Emissions to Mitigate Climate Change Impacts

Agricultural opportunities to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions.

Agriculture is a source for three primary greenhouse gases (GHGs): CO(2), CH(4), and N(2)O. It can also be a sink for CO(2) through C sequestration into biomass products and soil organic matter. We summarized the literature on GHG emissions and C sequestration, providing a perspective on how agriculture can reduce its GHG burden and how it can help to mitigate GHG emissions through conservation...

Climate change. Recent reductions in China's greenhouse gas emissions.

T he prevailing wisdom about China's greenhouse gas emissions is that they are increasing steadily, because of the large quantities of coal being used to fuel a fast-growing industrial economy, and most projections show China's greenhouse gas emissions continuing to grow in the coming decades (1). However, we find that China's CO 2 emissions declined by 7.3% between 1996 (the peak year) and 200...
