The data shows a slight increase in overall emissions from the previous year, and a slight decline in emissions from transportation, which is the state’s main source of both GHGs and air pollutants. Per capita GHG emissions in California have dropped from a 2001 peak of 14.0 Source: California Air Resources Board (ARB).

The state’s latest Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory shows that California emitted 429 million metric tons of climate pollutants in 2016—a drop of 12 million metric tons, or three percent, from 2015. They fell 23% from a peak of 14 metric tons per person (roughly equal to driving 34,000 miles) in 2001 to 10.8

The on-road transportation (ORT) and power generation (PG) sectors are major contributors to CO 2 emissions and a host of short-lived radiatively-active air pollutants, including tropospheric ozone and fine aerosol particles, that exert complex influences on global climate.

The data show that for private cars, the difference between on-road and official CO 2 values rose from around 8% in 2001 to 31% in 2013. The increasing gap also more than halves the official CO 2 reductions achieved during the last ten years, making it more challenging to meet the EU’s climate change mitigation objectives.

Finally, I was doing something that could really make a dent in climate change. No pollution, well-to-wheels. “I haven’t paid for electricity for my house or my EV since 2001,” he says. The World Health Organization estimates that some seven million people die every year from polluted air. Hello hope.

Her dissertation focused on developing methods to determine a baseline for concentrations of pollutants in the atmosphere based on historical spatial-temporal measurements. In 2001 she realized her goal of working on a satellite mission. She earned her Ph.D. She was a Jefferson Science Fellow at the U.S.
