A new study out of the Stockholm Environment Institute at the University of York reports on “a significant breakthrough in climate change policy by showing how to make drastic cuts in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from transport.”
Beyond the matter-of-fact carbon emissions reductions it finds possible, it also doesn’t neglect to discuss how the identified transportation changes would make life less stressful, quieter, and healthier, among other things.
It is well-known that transportation is one of the leading causes of global warming. And NASA has actually found that automobiles are the largest net contributor to climate change. Thus, cutting transportation emissions means a big cut in total global warming emissions.
