"The levels already in January are higher than last year," said Kim Holmen, research director of the Norwegian Polar Institute, during a visit to the Troll scientific research station in Antarctica by Norway's Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg. Holmen said measurements at a Norwegian station high in the Arctic showed levels of carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas, were around 394 parts per million, up about 1.5 parts per million from the previous records early in 2008. The levels have risen by about a third since the start of the Industrial Revolution in the 18th century, in tandem with more use of fossil fuels in power plants and factories, and defying recent international efforts to cut back.

But that approach has been a failure. While responsibility for the problem extends beyond oil companies and automakers to the financial-services industry that invests in destructive activities, a recent survey shows just how little action 40 of the world's largest banks have taken against climate change. With their hands on the spigot of trillions of dollars, bankers play a crucial role in how the world responds to the threat of rising sea levels, drought, and extreme weather events. But the survey, commissioned by Ceres, a Boston-based group of investors and environmentalists concerned about sustainability, found that the industry has far to go in confronting global warming. Not surprisingly, the banks that are changing their practices the most are in Europe, where countries are trying to adhere to the greenhouse emission reductions required by the Kyoto Protocol. In the United States, where President Bush has rejected Kyoto and any mandated reductions in carbon dioxide, the survey found that banks have been slow to involve their boards in the issue, incorporate the effect of carbon emissions into investment decisions, or set goals to reduce greenhouse gases in their portfolios.

The Discovery of Global Warming Spencer Weart June 2007 [ HOME ] Table of Contents for printer Other Greenhouse Gases While all eyes were turned on carbon dioxide, almost by chance a few researchers discovered that other gases emitted by human activity have a greenhouse effect strong enough to add to global warming. In the mid 1970s, they began to realize that these gases could bring as much damage as carbon dioxide itself.

Since the work of Joseph Fourier in the 1820s, scientists had understood that the atmosphere might hold in the Earth's heat. The conventional view nevertheless was that gases were entirely transparent. Tyndall tried that out in his laboratory and confirmed it for the main atmospheric gases, oxygen and nitrogen, as well as hydrogen. He was ready to quit when he thought to try another gas that happened to be right at hand in his laboratory: coal-gas. This was a fuel used for lighting (and Bunsen burners), produced industrially by heating coal. It consisted of carbon monoxide (CO) mixed with a bit of the hydrocarbon methane (CH

To fully evaluate energy and emission impacts of advanced vehicle technologies and new transportation fuels, the fuel cycle from wells to wheels and the vehicle cycle through material recovery and vehicle disposal need to be considered. Sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), Argonne has developed a full life-cycle model called GREET (Greenhouse gases, Regulated Emissions, and Energy use in Transportation). It allows researchers and analysts to evaluate various vehicle and fuel combinations on a full fuel-cycle/vehicle-cycle basis. GREET was developed as a multidimensional spreadsheet model in Microsoft Excel. This public domain model is available free of charge for anyone to use. The first version of GREET was released in 1996. Since then, Argonne has continued to update and expand the model. The most recent GREET versions are GREET 1.8a version for fuel-cycle analysis and GREET 2.8a version for vehicle-cycle analysis. For a given vehicle and fuel system, GREET separately calculates the following:

Global Warming: A closer look at the numbers Global Warming Table of Contents Water Vapor Rules the Greenhouse System J ust how much of the "Greenhouse Effect" is caused by human activity? It is about if water vapor is taken into account about , if not. This point is so crucial to the debate over global warming that how water vapor is or isn't factored into an analysis of Earth's greenhouse gases makes the difference between describing a significant human contribution to the greenhouse effect, or a negligible one. Water vapor constitutes Earth's most significant greenhouse gas , accounting for about of Earth's greenhouse effect . Interestingly, many "facts and figures' regarding global warming completely ignore the powerful effects of water vapor in the greenhouse system, carelessly (perhaps, deliberately) overstating human impacts as much as 20-fold. Water vapor is 99.999% of natural origin. Other atmospheric greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and miscellaneous other gases (CFC's, etc.) , are also mostly of natural origin (except for the latter, which is mostly anthropogenic).

So why is our planet alone so hospitable? In part, we owe our existence to a process called the greenhouse effect. Inside an artificial greenhouse filled with plants, the surrounding glass traps the sun's energy, making it warm inside, even while outside the temperature may be much colder. This same effect happens every day on the Earth. Gases within the atmosphere act like glass, trapping the sun's heat. These gases include water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone, and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). Just like any other planet, the Earth absorbs the sun's heat and radiates it back towards space. But greenhouse gases counteract that heat loss, trapping heat, and reflecting it back towards the Earth. The more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, the more heat that is trapped. The less the amount of greenhouse gases, the less heat that is trapped. Earth has just the right amount to help life flourish. Too many of these gases, as is the case on Venus, would create a runaway greenhouse and a sizzling hot surface. On the other hand, without any greenhouse gases, much of the sun's heat would be lost, and the Earth would become a frozen wasteland with an average temperature of degrees fahrenheit (-18 degrees celsius).

Although there is not universal agreement within the scientific community on the impacts of increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases, it has been theorized that they may lead to an increase in the average temperature of the Earth's surface. To date, it has been difficult to note such an increase conclusively because of the differences in temperature around the Earth and throughout the year, and because of the difficulty of distinguishing permanent temperature changes from the normal fluctuations of the Earth's climate. In addition, there is not universal agreement among scientists and climatologists on the potential impacts of an increase in the average temperature of the Earth, although it has been hypothesized that it could lead to a variety of changes in the global climate, sea level, agricultural patterns, and ecosystems that could be, on net, detrimental.

Light from the sun warms land, water, and air. In turn, the warmed-up land, water, and air give off heat, which rises up toward the sky. Gases in the Earth's atmosphere capture some of that heat and prevent it from escaping into space. This heat trap keeps the ground, oceans and air at fairly stable, predictable temperatures warm enough to allow thousands of plant and animal species (including humans, like us) to thrive. Without heat trapping, the earth's surface would be about 60 degrees Fahrenheit colder than it is now.

Now, a small Northwest company says it will do just that in a coal-fueled power plant it wants to build near the banks of the Columbia River in Southeast Washington. If successful, the plant near Wallula, Walla Walla County, would be among the first power plants in the nation to curb its impact on the climate by keeping some of its carbon dioxide from floating into the atmosphere. "The implications of this new technology could have a real impact not just here but around the world," said Tim Killian, spokesman for the Wallula Energy Resource Center, the name of the proposed $2.2 billion plant. But success is still uncertain. It hinges partly on whether the power plant really can get the carbon dioxide to stay deep underground and whether it can be done while producing affordable power.

39. Combustion Of Waste May Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions A joint research project has proved that development of waste management is a costefficient means to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/12/071207001203.htm

Science News Share Blog Cite Print Email Bookmark Combustion Of Waste May Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions ScienceDaily (Dec. 8, 2007) See also: Petroleum Energy Policy Materials Science Recycling and Waste ... Landfill Landfills are significant sources of greenhouse gas emissions, mostly because of methane. Compared with carbon dioxide, methane is a twenty times stronger greenhouse gas, and landfills originate 4 % of the anthropogenic emissions. To reduce the emissions, the greenhouse gases generated in landfills should be collected, and biodegradable waste should be treated by other methods than landfilling. More research on recycled material needed According to the results of the project, the use of recycled material does not always reduce the greenhouse gas emissions. This result is based on a comparative life cycle analysis of products made of recycled and virgin materials, respectively. Emission reductions are usually obtained when recycled materials replace fossile fuels. If the replaced material is of biotic origin, it is not always possible to obtain reductions. Even other factors, such as the treatment of the waste material and the fate of the products after the use, affect the emission balance. In the case studies, the recycled plastic profile was a construction material made of plastic waste, and it was compared with board made of impregnated wood. An oil-absorbing sheet made of recycled textile was compared with oil-repellent products made of virgin polypropylene fibre. In all comparisons, the recycling of textiles led to emission reductions compared with the use of virgin plastic.
