Worldwide sulfur emissions rose between 2000-2005, after decade of decline
ScienceDaily (Feb. 15, 2011) — A new analysis of sulfur emissions appearing in the journal Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics shows that after declining for a decade, worldwide emissions rose again in 2000 due largely to international shipping and a growing Chinese economy. An accurate read on sulfur emissions will help researchers predict future changes in … Continue reading
If greenhouse gas emissions stopped now, Earth would still likely get warmer, new research shows
ScienceDaily (Feb. 16, 2011) — While governments debate about potential policies that might curb the emission of greenhouse gases, new University of Washington research shows that the world is already committed to a warmer climate because of emissions that have occurred up to now.There would continue to be warming even if the most stringent policy … Continue reading
LG to slash CO2 emissions with eco-magnesium
LG Electronics has committed to replacing conventional magnesium used in its mobile phones to a more environmentally friendly magnesium alloy dubbed eco-magnesium. To be rolled out by 2012, this would effectively reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 4kg for every handset manufactured. “Eco-magnesium is one of LG’s key strategies in our ongoing effort to transform LG … Continue reading
