Carbon dioxide is one of the primary greenhouse gases found in the Earth’s atmosphere, accounting for 76% of global greenhouse gas emissions according to published reports. Any effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions will undoubtedly rely heavily on reducing the presence of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. 1] [link].

Direct emissions are produced from residential and commercial activities in a variety of ways: Combustion of natural gas and petroleum products for heating including water heating and cooking needs emits carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O). Coal consumption is today a minor component of direct energy use.

By the 2000s, a Congressional hold on funding preventing work on fuel economy standards finally broke, and NHTSA staged the first increase in fuel economy in over two decades, requiring the SUVs and pickups that had exploded in sales to finally use less fuel. On the other hand, NHTSA doesn’t incentivize EVs so heavily.

In fact, in 1938 Sir George Simpson, a leading meteorologist, dismissed the link between rising carbon-dioxide (CO 2 ) concentration and temperature as “ rather a coincidence ”. Then in 1896, preliminary calculations by Arrhenius hinted that humanity’s burning of fossil fuels could raise CO 2 levels and warm our planet.
