, but it inevitably brings forth a mish-mash of half-remembered, inappropriate or out-of-date comparisons between the impacts of carbon dioxide and methane. In 2020, CO 2 was at ~410 parts per million, while CH 4 was around 1870 parts per <it>billion</it> (or 1.87 Historical comparisons. Stocks and flows.

And we’re still trying to recover from a pandemic that has made even more clear the disproportionate impacts of air pollution on overburdened communities, making them even more vulnerable to the negative impacts of COVID 19. Just as important, cleaning up the power grid can also decrease carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions.

These plants, which were originally slated to close in 2020, include the Ormond Beach Generating Station located in the predominantly Latinx, low-income community of Oxnard. And all this polluting infrastructure has serious health and environmental implications for the surrounding communities.

From 2020 to 2040, solar generation in these states jumps nearly ninefold and wind generation more than sevenfold. The shift from fossil fuels in the 100-percent RES scenario reduces the amount of toxic power plant air pollution much more than what we called a “no-new-policy,” or business-as-usual, scenario. percent in 2040.

Their study examined the carbon dioxide and methane emissions from these companies’ products, as well as from the extraction and production processes of the largest gas, oil and coal producers and cement manufacturers. Data on the major carbon producers’ emissions have been published since 2014.

The pledge is a voluntary agreement to reduce global methane emissions by 30 percent below 2020 levels by 2030; however, methane levels keep going up and we are woefully off track for meeting this goal. Compared to carbon dioxide (CO2), methane doesn’t linger for long in the atmosphere after being emitted.
