In realistic numbers aviation is virtually 0% of a non problem. All mankind produces less then 6% of all CO2 output. Most of that is from material that would rot in any event. Aviation uses less then 1% of our total fuel consumption. Housing produces over 50% of the carbon emissions that man produces. The forests and Oceans produce 94% of all CO2 naturally.

Carbon Dioxide is also a minor contributor to the total green house gas mix. It currently is at 0.037% concentrations in our atmosphere. This is up from 0.028% at a known low in a known low area (Antarctica in 1850). Current levels in this same area are around 0.028% (no increase).

Man produces 0.28% of all green house gases, again, most of that from sources that would become a green house gas if we did not use them.

Interestingly enough the current warming cycle we see started 6000 years ago. In that period we have seen 11 degrees of rise. All but 0.2 degrees of this rise before we discovered oil.

How much of the worlds emissions do planes produce?

Planes contribute to about 2-3% of global carbon dioxide emissions from human activities. This percentage is expected to increase as air travel continues to grow unless more sustainable aviation practices are implemented.


What are carbon footprints made up of?

A carbon footprint is not an object, it is a way of calculating how much your activities contribute to the burden of global warming. Your carbon footprint would include:the carbon dioxide fro ythe fuels yu burnmethane from the cows producing your meattreees cut down by your paper purchasesmethane from waste sites you contribute toetc.


How much is a pound of Co2?

A pound of CO2 is equivalent to producing around 0.45 kilograms of carbon dioxide emissions. This measurement is commonly used to quantify carbon footprints and emissions reductions in various industries and environmental initiatives.


What filter should you use to reduce carbon monoxide emissions?

carbon monoxide is a rich indicator, if you are producing too much, you have a fuel system problem.


How much carbon dixiode does an airplane produce?

every 2,062 miles travelled accounts for 1 ton of Carbon Dioxide emissions per person.


How do planes harm the environment?

Planes harm the environment mainly through carbon emissions released from burning aviation fuel, contributing to global warming. They also release other pollutants like nitrogen oxides and particulate matter that can affect air quality and contribute to environmental damage. Additionally, the contrails produced by planes can potentially have a warming effect on the atmosphere.


What does carbon zero mean?

Carbon zero refers to achieving a state where no net carbon dioxide is emitted into the atmosphere. This can be achieved through reducing carbon emissions as much as possible and offsetting any remaining emissions through activities such as planting trees or investing in renewable energy projects. These efforts are crucial in combating climate change and global warming.


How much carbon dioxide do plants absorb on a daily basis?

Plants absorb about 25 of the carbon dioxide emissions produced by human activities each day.


How much pollution do wee al make in one year?

Global human activity produces around 36 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent greenhouse gas emissions per year. This includes emissions from transportation, industry, agriculture, and other sources that contribute to air and water pollution. Reducing these emissions is crucial to mitigate climate change and protect the environment.


Will biodiesel clog the catalytic converter in a 2008 diesel truck?

Biodiesel emissions are much cleaner than emissions from conventional diesel. Carbon dioxide is reduced by 90%, sulphur by 100%, carbon monoxide by 10-50%, and hydrocarbons by 10-50%. The only emissions that increase are nitrous oxide emissions. However, this is counteracted by your catalytic converter. So the answer is no, boidiesel will not clog your catalytic converter.


How much of the worlds carbon dioxide emission does is the US responsible for by burning fossil fuels?

The US is responsible for around 15% of the world's carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels. This makes it one of the largest contributors to global greenhouse gas emissions.


Why would it help the environment to reduce the speed on motorways up to 70mph?

it wouldn't do much i guess it will lower carbon emissions
