We know that to reduce climate emissions we need to tackle air pollution as well.
To cut emissions we need very big investments to be made; but despite evident economic benefits, things are moving very slowly.
"If a particular energy efficiency or renewable energy policy is held up or watered down by other departments, it is understandable that you would stay in place to work on other policies to deliver the cuts in emissions we need.
"If carbon budgets are set at a lower level than the committee advises are necessary then you will have no power in government to deliver policies that make the cuts in emissions we need.
To quickly and massively cut global emissions we need a binding international treaty and the last chance we have to get that treaty within the timescale of the physics of the planet is the UN climate summit in Copenhagen in December this year.
And for good reasons – if we're serious about reducing our carbon emissions we need to find the most practical way of doing this, and ensure the people at councils and industry who are actually going to deliver these changes are on board.
In order to simplify and clarify the advances and improvements made to the combustion phase since the introduction of mandated governmental emissions, we need to also understand the various areas and technical terms frequently referred to and considered by engineers as they redesign ICE's for improved fuel efficiency and reduced exhaust emissions.
This is an industry protection standard and it does not get us the carbon emissions we need.'.
This is an industry protection standard and it does not get us the carbon emissions we need," she said.
Similar to our phasing- out of methane emissions, we need a global boycott of factory farms, foods, and fibers derived from chemical pesticides, GMOs, and nitrate fertilizers.
While the Kyoto protocol permits this, in the long term it's problematic, because once ALL countries have to start reducing their carbon emissions, we need both reductions of emissions in the first world and tropical forest protection in the third world.
