	Carbon Dioxide (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The gas that accounts for most of the pollution caused by human activity is carbon dioxide (CO Carbon dioxide emissions are the result of burning fossil fuels and deforestation and have increased significantly as a result of industrial growth.
		Carbon dioxide is a natural component of the atmosphere and is vital to plant photosynthesis.
		The potential 2010 annual reductions in carbon emissions for the four energy-use sectors are rated as a function of the cost of each measure, in terms of dollars per ton of avoided carbon.

	GAO-03-25, Climate Change: Information on Three Air Pollutants' Climate Effects and Emissions Trends
		Black carbon emissions are particularly difficult to track because they are often produced by activities that are informal and unregulated, and in developing countries, there is considerable consumption of noncommercial fuels, such as wood or animal waste.
		Emissions increased steeply in the 1980s, but the growth rate slowed somewhat in the 1990s as China began to switch from coal to cleaner natural gas and from raw coal to coal briquettes (which produce fewer emissions) in the residential sector; it also closed many small industrial coal plants.
		Emissions have begun to decline in developed countries, with the exception of Japan, according to the database we used, largely as a result of regulations limiting diesel fuel emissions, the major source of developed countries' fl carbon.

		China, which have ratified the protocol, are not required to reduce carbon emissions under the present agreement despite their relatively large populations.
		One criticism is that, rather than reducing 8%, all the EU member countries should cut 15% as the EU insisted a uniform target of 15% for other developed countries during the negotiation while allowing itself to share a big reduction in the former East Germany to meet the 15% goal for the entire EU.
		Warsaw Pact countries who now are members of the EU have already been reduced as a result of their economic restructuring.

	Global carbon dioxide emissions (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		In 1992, global emissions of carbon dioxide--the prime greenhouse gas added to the atmosphere as a direct result of human activity--amounted to 26.4 billion metric tons per year, of which 84 percent (22.3 billion metric tons) was from industrial activity.
		Reducing the accumulation of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere depends to a great extent on controlling emissions from the burning of fossil fuels, since these are responsible for roughly 80 percent of yearly carbon dioxide emissions worldwide (the rest come from cement manufacture and from tropical deforestation and other land use changes) [4] [5].
		As a direct consequence of this increased burning of fossil fuels, global energy-related carbon dioxide emissions are expected to rise between 30 and 40 percent by 2010 under moderate growth conditions [12] [13].

	Surging Chinese Carbon Dioxide Emissions (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Carbon dioxide emissions from China might pass those from the United States as early as 2009, according to the World Energy Outlook (WEO) 2006, released on November 7th by the International Energy Agency (IEA) in Paris.
		The recent forecast moves up by over a decade the agency's previous forecast of China's emergence as the nation with the greatest emissions, a position currently held by the U.S. The revision is based on the 13-percent-a-year average expansion in Chinese coal use since 2003.
		Second, developing countries, including China, have been arguing that the higher cumulative emissions in developed countries compared to developing countries mean that developed countries have contributed more to global warming over time, and thus bear greater responsibility for solving it.

	EC Carbon Tax
		A cut- off level would be established and those countries that were below the level (and all four poor countries are below the level proposed by Paleokrassas) would not have to implement the tax until their country's level rose above 85 percent of the EC average.
		The environmental impact of implementing the tax should be to reduce CO2 emissions in the EC to 1990 or earlier levels; the environmental impact of the tax should be positive.
		The carbon tax, as it was proposed, is an unilateral plan that sets an example for the rest of the international community rather than a comprehensive global plan for reducing CO2 emissions.

	Planet Ark : Carbon Costs Menace Investment in Europe - Analysts
		MILAN - The rising costs of reducing carbon dioxide emissions by smokestack industries may trigger a shift in major investments in such sectors from Europe to countries where carbon controls are less strict, analysts said.
		The European Union's carbon market is supposed to control the supply of pollution permits to heavy industry, and so drive cuts in greenhouse gas emissions, as the bloc tries to meet its Kyoto Protocol goals and fight climate change.
		Europe's Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) is already changing the way energy-intensive companies conduct business, with costs of carbon emissions influencing strategic, organisational and economic decisions, executives from energy firms and sector analysts said at the conference.

	Planet Ark : Banks Buy Over 200 Million Euro Chinese Carbon Credits
		Western banks are piling into the carbon market, eyeing big profits because rich countries are increasingly expected to shoulder tough climate change targets -- fuelling demand for permits to emit greenhouse gases.
		The idea is to buy credits cheap in bulk from countries like China and then sell them, for example, to European companies which face emissions targets under the EU's carbon market.
		Global carbon trade was worth $21.5 billion in the first nine months of 2006 versus $11.1 billion for the whole of last year, according to the World Bank.
