Yale has produced a calculator whereby you enter what you consider the likelihoods of various different variables (for example, if you think there’s a 75% chance that climate change will result in economic damages to the United States if U.S. emissions are not reduced, you enter 0.75), and it calculates the US economic growth rate over the next 20 years based on that scenario.

Try it out. How will reducing greenhouse gas emissions affect the American economy?

Having only just discovered this interesting new feature, and having read some of the answers given about climate change I thought I’d ask my own. Why are some people so against reducing greenhouse gas emissions? Surely it makes complete sense to use as little energy as possible and to generate energy by means which are renewable and do not rely on fuel of which there is only a finite amount? I mean, surely that makes perfect economic sense? Whether or not you dispute the science of climate change (and from my experience that vast majority of genuine scientists do not) I can see no logical argument against trying to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

I’m writing a reasearch paper on global warming in which I say “greenhouse gas emissions” too many times. Can anyone think of a synonym?

Bruce Campbell asked:


I’ve looked at a number of different sources, and they all give different answers ranging from 25% to 50%.

I just need to know, what percentage of the greenhouse gas emissions in the USA are due to energy production, such as coal plants? How about for the entire planet?

And could you please provide your source? I just want to go to the site and check out if it’s legit.

How will the EPA make sure China and India and Indonesia, the biggest polluters, don’t send their emission greenhouse gas around the world?

Dana1981 asked:


According to the World Resources Institute, livestock and manure only account for 5.1% of worldwide anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions.

http://cait.wri.org/figures.php?page=World-FlowChart&view=100

But according to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, when land use is taken into account, livestock accounts for 9% of our CO2 emissions, 65% of nitrous oxide, 37% of methane, and thus 18% of our overall CO2 equivalent greenhouse gas emissions.

http://www.fao.org/newsroom/en/news/2006/1000448/index.html

I’m wondering why these figures are so different. Anyone know the source of the discrepancy, and which is more accurate?

How would a better understanding of the Sun help us understand the threat created by greenhouse gas emissions?
