Towards the end of June 2021, temperature records were broken by several degrees Celsius in several cities in the Pacific Northwest areas of the US and Canada, leading to spikes in sudden deaths and sharp increases in emergency calls and hospital visRead More →

Emissions of Carbon Dioxide in the Transportation Sector

December 2022
Congressional Budget Office
This report examines the trends and sources of CO2 emissions within the U.S. transportation sector, the largest emitter of CO2 in the country. It provides analyses on factors influencing these emissions and the policy and economic implications. Read More →

Nature Communications
This peer-reviewed study examines the effect of South Asian black carbon emissions on glacial melt in the Tibetan plateau, and indirect effects of this melt on the supply of water in densely-populated regions of South Asia.Read More →

Forest fire threatens global carbon sinks and population centres under rising atmospheric water demand

November 2022
Hamish Clarke, Rachael H. Nolan, Victor Resco De Dios, Ross Bradstock, Anne Griebel, Shiva Khanal & Matthias M. Boer
Nature Communications
This study finds that climate change is projected to lead to widespread increases in fire risk, with at least 30 additional days above critical thresholds for fire activity in forest biomes on every continent by 2100 under rising emissions scenarios.Read More →

Atmospheric observations suggest methane emissions in north-eastern China growing with natural gas use

November 2022
Fenjuan Wang, Shamil Maksyutov, Rajesh Janardanan, Aki Tsuruta, Akihiko Ito, Isamu Morino, Yukio Yoshida, Yasunori Tohjima, Johannes W. Kaiser, Xin Lan, Yong Zhang, Ivan Mammarella, Jost V. Lavric, Tsuneo Matsunaga
Nature Scientific Reports
Using atmospheric and satellite observations of methane, this study estimates poorly-measured methane emissions in China, and concludes that China's increased methane emissions are largely attributable to the growth in China's natural gas use.Read More →
