CO2 emission sources, greenhouse gases, and the global warming effect

The Impact of Climate Change on Agricultural Insect Pests

“…The main cause of global warming is increased concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The most prevalent atmospheric gases are carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), methane (CH 4 ), and nitrous oxide (N 2 O), which are caused by many anthropogenic activities including burning off the fossil fuels and land-use change [ 9 ]. Looking at the period of industrialization in the last two centuries, the concentration of greenhouse gases has increased immensely compared to the pre-industrial era [ 10 ].…”

Simultaneously upgrading CO2 and light alkanes into value‐added products

“…The global CO 2 emission has increased its atmospheric concentration to 415 ppm in 2019, which has been linked to climate change and ocean acidification 1 . The majority of the anthropogenic CO 2 emission comes from power plants, transportation, cement and steel industries, and agriculture, among which fossil fuel‐based power plants contribute to 33%–40% of the total CO 2 emission 1 .…”

The majority of the anthropogenic CO 2 emission comes from power plants, transportation, cement and steel industries, and agriculture, among which fossil fuel‐based power plants contribute to 33%–40% of the total CO 2 emission 1 . Several strategies have been proposed to minimize CO 2 emission, such as deployment of renewable (e.g., solar and wind) or nuclear energy, shift from coal to natural/shale gas (less CO 2 emission per unit energy 2 ), and CO 2 capture, storage, and utilization (CCSU) 1,3‐5 .…”

Among them, CCSU is a promising practice that allows the continuous use of fossil fuels and meanwhile alleviates CO 2 emission.…”

Visual Analytics for Climate Change Detection in Meteorological Time-Series

“…The synthesis reports published by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) confirmed that these observed transformative changes in climate system are closely tied to the anthropogenic processes and related elevated emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) in the Earth's atmosphere [1,2]. It is a well-documented fact that GHG such as water vapor, carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), methane (CH 4 ), nitrous oxide, which occur naturally in the atmosphere, along with the synthetic fluorinated gases, which originate from a variety of industrial processes, have the tendency to absorb, store and reradiate long-wave radiation emitted from Earth's surface back to Earth's surface [3,4]. The effect is generally known as the 'greenhouse effect' and has a significant impact on energy budget of the Earth system, resulting in global atmospheric warming and chaotic weather patterns worldwide [3].…”
