The federal government requires diesel emissions to meet certain air quality standards, known as NAAQS, set in the 1970 Clean Air Act. If your area is not an “attainment area,” the concentration of pollutants in the air must be below these limits. In order to meet these standards, you’ll need to create a state implementation […]

The main reason for scientists to disagree on the effects of global warming is fundamental scientific uncertainty. The United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has failed to provide objective guidance on this complex science. Moreover, the conflict between scientists results from various factors, including bias within scientific communities and the failure to address […]

How does climate change affect the earth’s oceans? The oceans act like massive conveyor belts, pushing surface water from the equator to the poles. Surface water cools, sinks, and becomes denser. Winds push this denser water back to the surface, making it warmer and less dense. As ocean currents change, they become prone to climate […]

Earth’s climate system responds to small changes in the orbit of the sun and its rotation. Small variations in the Earth’s rotation and latitudinal solar energy distribution initiated ice-age cycles, which triggered changes in CO2 concentrations. During warm periods, the ice sheets melted and reflected less sunlight to space, releasing major greenhouse gases into the […]

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are a class of chemicals that pollute the atmosphere. Known as “fumes”, they are emitted as a by-product of the combustion of fossil fuels. Researchers have been tracking CFC emissions for more than 40 years, using global monitoring networks. In the past, CFCs have been identified as one of the major culprits in […]

In addition to fuels, biofuels are renewable resources and the production of these renewable energy sources is a way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Many benefits of biofuels are not well known, but they can help the environment in several ways. For example, biofuels are used in vehicles to produce electricity. In addition to being […]
