Four energy demand sectors have been identified in the UK Programme as areas where emission reduction measures can be effectively implemented. 1. Domestic energy consumption produced 42 MtC in 1990, equivalent to 27% of emissions. A reduction in emissions from this sector should be achieved with measures aimed at improving […]

A number of basic factors affect the behaviour of different greenhouse gases as forcing agents within the climate system (Shine et al., 1990). First, the absorption strength and wavelength of the absorption in the thermal infrared are of fundamental importance in dictating whether a molecule can be an important greenhouse […]
