As I show below, their cumulative emissions have continued to rise over the decades even as international efforts to confront climate change have been enacted through the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Paris Agreement. I’ve marked these important years with dotted lines in Figure 2.

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.

My research evolved over time, but initially focused on trying to understand how ice sheet collapse—specifically Antarctic ice sheet collapse—could impact climate change around the world through changes in the oceans, sea ice and atmosphere. How did we end up with global average temperature as a metric in the Paris agreement?

The greenhouse effect is a popular name for the earth’s warming effect which occurs naturally when gasses in the atmosphere trap heat from the sun and prevent it from escaping back into space. As the graph shows, policies on land-use, agriculture, and renewable energy hold a lot of potential for net GHG emissions reduction.

We know we must rapidly and dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions, including through a just transition to a renewable-energy driven economy. International agreements, such as the Paris Agreement, and domestic legislation in the U.S. The ocean covers 70% of the Earth’s surface and is a major carbon sink.

To the extent those sectors continue emitting carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, those gases will need to be captured prior to release into the atmosphere. to 2 o C target set in the Paris Agreement. to 2 o C target set in the Paris Agreement. federal government controls approximately 1.7

Decarbonizing the industrial sector is key to achieving these targets, as it is responsible for around 20% of the EU’s total emissions (not including emissions associated with energy consumption by industry). Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) : CDR is an umbrella term for technologies that remove and store CO2 from the atmosphere.
