Most agricultural emissions come from tropical deforestation, methane from animals and rice fields, and nitrous oxide from over-fertilizing.

Now combine the electricity and oil revolutions, both driven by modern efficiency, and you get the really big story: reinventing fire, where business enabled and sped by smart policies in mindful markets can lead the United States completely off oil and coal by 2050, saving 5 trillion dollars, growing the economy 2.6-fold, strengthening out national security, oh, and by the way, by getting rid of the oil and coal, reducing the fossil carbon emissions by 82 to 86 percent.

We see it when countries pull out of international climate agreements like the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Accord, and we see it when industry fails to meet its emissions reduction targets.

Collectively, these systems account for eight percent of global greenhouse gas emissions.

A 10 or 20 percent improvement in the efficiency of every cooling system could actually have an enormous impact on our greenhouse gas emissions, both today and later this century.

But what we have to recognize now is that we are reaching the ecological limits that our planet can bear, and when we chop down forests, as we are every day, to grow more and more food, when we extract water from depleting water reserves, when we emit fossil fuel emissions in the quest to grow more and more food, and then we throw away so much of it, we have to think about what we can start saving.

The roofs not only temper urban heat island impact but they save energy, and therefore money, the emissions that cause climate change, and they also reduce stormwater runoff.

I also discovered that an IR mouse responds to CRT emissions and starts to move by itself, so this is a self-drawing machine.

First, even if carbon dioxide emissions stopped today, global warming would continue.

But they're also materials with very high energy and very high greenhouse gas emissions in their process.

Steel represents about three percent of man's greenhouse gas emissions, and concrete is over five percent.

Now our two solutions to climate are obviously to reduce our emissions and find storage.

Eighteen percent of our contribution to greenhouse gas emissions worldwide is the result of deforestation.

So this technology, 3D printing, and new design rules really help us to reduce the weight, which is the biggest issue in aircraft design, because it's directly linked to greenhouse gas emissions.

I mean global warming certainly is a massive threat to mankind and we are putting a lot of time and energy into, A, trying to come up with alternative fuels and, B, you know, we just launched this prize, which is really a prize in case we don't get an answer on alternative fuels, in case we don't actually manage to get the carbon emissions cut down quickly, and in case we go through the tipping point.

Eighty percent of carbon emissions come from cities, which means cities are in a position to solve the carbon problem, or most of it, whether or not the states of which they are a part make agreements with one another.

Los Angeles cleaned up its port, which was 40 percent of carbon emissions, and as a result got rid of about 20 percent of carbon.

We've learned today that actually reducing pollution and emissions is generating profit.

And if you think about it, all of the weird weather we've been having the last few years, much of that is due to just one degree warming, and we need CO2 emissions to peak by the end of this decade globally and then come down.

Unfortunately, global carbon emissions from deforestation now equals the global transportation sector.

In terms of carbon emissions per ton per mile, it emits about a thousandth of aviation and about a tenth of trucking.

So shipping emissions are about three to four percent, almost the same as aviation's.

And if you put shipping emissions on a list of the countries' carbon emissions, it would come in about sixth, somewhere near Germany.

What this shows is that the rate of growth of our emissions is accelerating.

So that red line there was something that a lot of skeptics said the environmentalists only put in the projections to make the projections look as bad as possible, that emissions would never grow as fast as that red line.

So the problem is soluble, and the way we should go about solving it is, say, dealing with electricity production, which causes something like 43-or-so percent and rising of CO2 emissions.

And it's this stuff in the middle here, which is what you do if you don't stop the emissions quickly enough.

So much of the other things that we ought to do, like slowing emissions, are intrinsically slow, because it takes time to build all the hardware we need to reduce emissions.

And not only that, when you cut emissions, you don't cut concentrations, because concentrations, the amount of CO2 in the air, is the sum of emissions over time.
