How do carbon emissions exemplify the tragedy of the commons?
Carbon emissions are not related to the tragedy of the commons. There are not any studies that confirm that carbon emissions contributed in any way.
What has the author Philip Charles Thomas written?
Philip Charles Thomas has written: 'What are the sources of carbon dioxide emissions in the UK, what is the predicted environmental impact of these emissions, how effective are the proposed Government policies in combating these emissions within the UK?'
What is the difference between carbon credits and Certified emissions rate?
Certified emission rates are a limit on the amount of emissions a company can release into the atmosphere within a given time frame. It is a cap on the emissions itself.Carbon credits looks more at the net carbon emissions. There are companies that plant trees, which reduce the amount of carbon in the air. For their good deeds, they get carbon credits, which they sell to companies that emit carbon. The carbon credits work to offset the actual amount of emissions a company puts out.Note that carbon credits cancel out the emissions, but don't lower emissions at all, unlike a cap on emission rates.
Are carbon emissions released to the air when driving a car?
Yes, in the form of CO2 (carbon dioxide), CO (carbon monoxide) and other carbon emissions, including more or less pure carbon.
Are carbon emissions going to destroy the ozone?
Yes they are. Carbon emissions cause global warming and then they cause ozone depletion.
What are greenhouse gas offsets and how do they work?
A carbon offset is a financial tool aimed at a decrease in greenhouse gas emissions. Carbon offsets are measured in metric tons of carbon dioxide-equivalent which can exemplify 6 primary families of greenhouse gas emissions. One carbon offset constitutes the step-down of one tonne of carbonic acid gas or its equal in other greenhouse gases. this text was taken from: www.sofame.com/Carbon-Offsets
How are carbon emissions produced?
cars.
Will people stop global warming or will the government have to pass laws?
Governments will have to pass laws putting a proper price on carbon emissions. We used to allow factories to dump their waste in rivers. Now they are heavily fined if they do. Governments will have to class carbon dioxide emissions as toxic waste.
How does solar power reduce carbon emissions?
By its self it does not reduce carbon emissions. What it does do is provide an alternative source of energy that does not create any more carbon emissions. Though, this will only become effective when solar energy is more cost effective than carbon based energy.
What are the causes of carbon emissions?
The causes of carbon emissions are humans. We humans use fuel by DRIVING TOO MANY FUEL CARS AND TRUCKS!
What is Australia doing to reduce global warming?
Australia had a carbon price, paid by the big polluters. However, a new government wants to scrap that scheme and move to one where they pay the polluters to reduce their emissions.
Do nuclear power plants have carbon emissions?
No
