Deforestation fires in Brazil and Indonesia accounted for 3% and 7%, respectively, of the planet’s total greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) in 2019 and 2020, finds a new study in Frontiers in Climate. When peatlands burn, the stored CO2 gets released into the atmosphere, together other GHGs such as carbon monoxide (CO) and methane (CH4).

Getting more zero- and low-emission vehicles on the road in Pennsylvania helps reduce harmful air pollutants, including nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, particulate matter, and volatile organic compounds. It also helps lower the level of carbon dioxide, helping to address climate change. The deadline is December 15.

1 allowance = 1 metric ton of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. A key critique of California's Cap & Trade program has been that it hasn’t reduced health-harming criteria pollutants , including carbon monoxide, lead, nitrogen dioxide, ozone, sulfur dioxide, and particulates. What are allowances + offsets?
