Understanding Climate Change & Greenhouse Gas Emissions. 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. Greenhouse Gas Emissions are Increasing. C by the end of the century.

By ratifying the 2015 Paris Agreement, [1] nations across the world made a commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by at least 40% by the year 2030. 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.

While the impact of academic travel on climate change is indisputable, over the last few years a number of physicists have found that their computer usage can make up a huge part of their carbon footprint – sometimes even more than air travel.

Methane is essential to control, since stabilizing climate requires reducing all anthropogenic greenhouse-gas emissions to net-zero. There are two issues: do you measure and compare by volume or by mass, and if you measure by mass do you count the mass of the whole molecule or just the carbon part of it? microns).

Under the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), every country on Earth is treaty-bound to “avoid dangerous climate change”, and find ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions globally in an equitable way. Why do we need a Cop – don’t we already have the Paris agreement? Why is 1.5C so important?
