This report presents the current state of the science regarding controlling factors and mitigation technologies for GHG emissions in U.S. agriculture and forestry, along with a summary of reported C sequestration and GHG emission reduction ranges. Read More →

The Supply Chain of CO2 Emissions

Published:September 2011

Author(s):Steven J. Davis, Glen P. Peters, Ken Caldeira

Publisher:Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America

Growth in emission transfers via international trade from 1990 to 2008

Published:May 2011

Author(s):Glen P. Peters, Jan C. Minx, Christopher L. Weber, and Ottmar Edenhofer

Publisher:PNAS

This study explores the growth in emission transfers via international trade and suggests that countries monitor emission transfers via international trade, in addition to territorial emissions, to stabilize greenhouse gas emissions. Read More →

Published:January 2011

Author(s):Steven Joseph Davis, Glen P. Peters, Ken Caldeira

Publisher:PNAS

This study presents a consistent set of carbon inventories that spans the full supply chain of global CO2 emissions and reveals vulnerabilities and benefits related to current patterns of energy use relevant to climate and energy policy. Read More →

Estimating the climate impact of linear contrails using the UK Met Office climate model

Published:October 2010

Author(s):Alexandru Rap, Piers Forester, James Haywood, Andy Jones, and Olivier Boucher

Publisher:Geophysical Research Letters

This peer-reviewed study uses a climate model to assess the impacts of linear contrails on global temperature and precipitation. The study finds that contrails have a slight warming impact, and tend to shift precipitation patterns northward.Read More →

Specific Climate Impact of Passenger and Freight Transport

Published:July 2010

Author(s):Jens Borken-Kleefeld, Terje Berntsen, and Jan Fuglestvedt

Publisher:Environmental Science and Technology

This peer-reviewed study uses global climate models to determine the net climate impact of various modes of transportation. Climate impact of transportation can vary over time because of competing cooling and warming effects. Read More →

Published:December 2009

Author(s):Environmental Protection Agency - EPA

On December 7, 2009, the Administrator signed two distinct findings regarding greenhouse gases under section 202(a) of the Clean Air Act: Endangerment Finding and Cause or Contribute Finding. Read More →

Sharing global CO2 emission reductions among one billion high emitters

Published:July 2009

Author(s):Shoibal Chakravarty, Ananth Chikkatur, Heleen de Coninck, Stephen Pacala, Robert Socolow, and Massimo Tavoni

Publisher:PNAS

This study propose a simple rule to derive a universal cap on global individual emissions and find corresponding limits on national aggregate emissions from this cap. Read More →
