I read that Russia can stand to make out financially with the emissions trading component of the Kyoto treaty. Why?
The levels of emissions that Russia agreed not to exceed, are based on figures of emissions they were producing when they were economically larger then they are now. Now that they are already producing far less emissions then they were, they get to "sell" emission "credits" to other countries.
Need more info but best bet is ur local garage for a diagnostic check.
What will happen to these types of cars due to Obama’s new standards?
The government owned GM will make a 4 cyl. Corvette.
than it will produce in its lifetime?
If you’re referring to hybrids such as the Prius, you are sadly mistaken. There was one report, done by a biased marketing company that made this claim. There are multiple problems with their report, including the concept that 85% of the vehicle cost is in the production and destruction of the vehicle, whereas all other reports (including peer-reviewed science articles) show a figure closer to 80% of the vehicle energy cost is in the operation of the vehicle.
In other words, driving a good hybrid (like the Prius, Honda Civic Hybrid and Insight) will save significant energy over the life of the vehicle. Some of the others, such as the short-lived Honda Accord Hybrid where it was more of a power-boost device than an energy-saving device, this is not the case, but those vehicles are clearly not selling as well.
If you’re talking about future hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, you’re correct, but they aren’t being sold now and likely won’t be in the foreseeable future.
I think it interferes with interstate commerce. While there can be a duality of regulation, generally federal law trumps. When it comes to importing vehicles and interstate commerce and transportation, I believe that determining emission standards should be a federal question not a state question. People will drive their cars; sell their cars across state lines, etc. Would a consumer who buys a car be able to tell if he or she just paid for a car that he or she could not use in his or her state. Chaos will ensue.
Please help me as i dont know what the answer is!
what environmental problems are caused by co2 emissions?
Thank you.
CO2 is a dangerous, hazardous and obnoxious gas that we emit into our atmosphere
Carbon dioxide emissions are directly proportional to fuel consumption. The higher the fuel consumption, and the greater the impact on climate change.
Future CO2 levels are expected to rise due to ongoing burning of fossil fuels and land-use change
We burn fossil fuels for electricity (from coal and gas) in our homes and businesses, our cars, flights and to create the food, clothes and other things we buy and consume every day.
it is up to each of us to clean our own mess
I assume you are talking about how to calculate the required elevation above the ground for an emission point in order to meet a NOx or hydrocarbon limit? Normally, this is accomplished by placing a set of assumptions into an emission model, such as SCREEN2 or BREEZE. These models will calculate the concentration at a certain distance from the source, based upon the the assumptions placed in the model. One of those assumptions is stack height. Various stack heights can be determined until the final concentration is reached at a certain distance from the source. Usually, this is at the fenceline of a source.
Good luck.
What is the price of carbon?
How much does the price of carbon emissions fluxuate?

I’m looking for a used diesel car from the 1990’s to 2000’s and am shocked at how inflated the prices are. I was looking at an old diesel Volkswagen from 1991 from a private seller on Craig’s List and the owner wanted $6,400. $6,400!!! The Kelley Blue Book value was no more than $1,400 in excellent condition!
I understand why people now want diesel. But I am on a tight budget.
I just need a diesel car cheap. Where can I get one? Can you help me?
That’s exactly why they’re more expensive and hard to find…and they are in HUGE demand!
Diesel cars get on average 45mpg, the engines are rated to last waaay longer and diesel fuel is cheaper then gas now!
Even though yes you might be spending more then the gas equivelant or pay more then the KBB says… in the long run you’ll most likely save more money so don’t get caught up in the numbers and miss out on a find that could potentially be a great deal in the long haul.
I’d say just keep checkin out craigs list and autotrader and good luck!! 
If we have multiple buildings with each Individual building cooling system consists of chillers, cooling towers, AHU etc and if we would replace all those components with district cooling plant. How much CO2 emission can we reduce yearly? If possible, please help to provide statistics for Malaysia and other countries.
I’m involved with the construction of this type of system. It’s a great system in so many ways.
District cooling plants tend to operate slightly more efficiently than is possible using conventional air conditioning systems because they can incorporate measures like thermal storage in large tanks of cold water and they can do most of their cooling at night and distribute the chilled water during the day.
Another advantage occurs over the equipment life cycle. If a skyscraper installes a chiller, they are stuck with it almost for the life of the building. In 40 years time the chiller will be worn out and working innefficiently and technologically obsolete. There is sure to be better technology on the market. With district cooling, they can upgrade chillers at any time without disruption to chilled water supply because they have a large number of chillers in a district cooling plant.
