I was interested to know about more CO2 emission after reading the BBC post “Why climate lawsuits are surging” https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20211207-the-legal-battle-against-climate-change
I discovered some interesting information:
- Industrial activity is not the main source for CO2 or Greenhouse gases, but Aliment/Food production;
- Aliment/Food is responsible for 24% of all emissions, industry 21%, transportation 14%, …
- All sectors are decreasing the gas emissions, except transportation… It means you and me could help to fix it if we avoid using vehicles powered by gas;
- Almost all countries is reducing the CO2 emission, except China
- Vehicle normally emit about 50gCO2/km to more than 250gCO2/km. The European target to 2020 was 95gCO2/km.
