'Revolutionary' CO2 maps zoom in on greenhouse gas sources
A new, high resolution, interactive map of United States carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels has found that the emissions aren't all where we thought. The maps and system, called Vulcan, show CO2 emissions at more than 100 times more detail than was available before. Until now, data on carbon dioxide emissions were reported, in the best cases, monthly at the level of an entire state grid. The Vulcan model examines CO2 emissions at local levels on an hourly basis. Purdue researchers say the maps are also more accurate than previous data because they are based on greenhouse gas emissions instead of estimates based on population in areas of the United States.

Make love, not CO2!
Climate change affects our environment and our lives. This is why we need to take action and to fight climate change to help protect the environment. The European Commission started the You control climate change campaign in order to inform Europeans about the causes and effects of climate change, EU climate control initiatives and about ways to combat climate change. Small changes in our daily lives can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and, if many of us take action, help stop climate change. Be a Changer!

El clima y el co2
Efecto invernadero
Se llama efecto invernadero al fenómeno por el que determinados gases componentes de una atmósfera planetaria retienen parte de la energÃa que el suelo emite por haber sido calentado por la radiación solar. Afecta a todos los cuerpos planetarios dotados de atmósfera. De acuerdo con el actual consenso cientÃfico, el efecto invernadero se está viendo acentuado en la Tierra por la emisión de ciertos gases, como el dióxido de carbono y el metano, debida a la actividad económica humana.
Este fenómeno evita que la energÃa del Sol recibida constantemente por la Tierra vuelva inmediatamente al espacio, produciendo a escala planetaria un efecto similar al observado en un invernadero.

Act On CO2
http://actonco2.direct.gov.uk/
This short film shows how energy use in your home creates CO2 emissions, and how we can all reduce our emissions to help tackle climate change.
Description of the film (transcript)
Open on an out of focus red flickering light that fills most of the screen. The camera pulls back and focuses to reveal the flickering light charger. The charger seems to pulse as if there is an internal energy trying to burst out.
The camera pulls back further and then takes off on a journey around a modern home picking up examples of energy wastage in the home.
We see it pass through the kitchen, then through a utility room and past the washing machine. As the camera finds all of these examples of energy wastage, each appliance appears to pulse with an internal energy trying to escape.
The camera passes through the living room and finds a TV then it moves and finds the flame of the boiler, then follows to the boiler and a hot tap leaking out hot water. It continues through a bedroom where more appliances are throbbing with energy. Then it goes through another bedroom, looks like a child's with TV and computer console on.
Then the camera pans through the house and see various other switches left on and the heating, then follows the energy stream as it first journeys through some circuit boards and then joins the electricity main, which leads from the house.
Voice over:
'Energy-dependent home appliances are part of our modern way of life. Most of the energy they use comes from burning gas, oil and coal, which emit carbon dioxide - CO2 - into the atmosphere, changing the planet's climate.'
The camera cuts higher and higher as we see each street and then each district of a town combine their energy streams and one stream shoots off across the countryside until we reach a power station where (animated) CO2 is belching in to the atmosphere.
Voice over:
'We also waste large amounts of energy unnecessarily, which only increases CO2 emissions affecting the climate even further.'
The camera keeps going higher revealing eventually seeing the Earth from space. But instead of the beautiful, blue planet we are used to seeing it is enveloped in (animated) CO2 making it take on a 'reddish' hue. The Earth almost seems to pulse as all the appliances have before it.
The 'reddish' Earth mixes through to the flickering red light of the charger in the opening shot. As the camera pulls back again, a hand reaches in and turns off the switch.
Voice over:
'We are now producing more C02 than the world can cope with.'
We then see a series of shots as the energy wastage shown in the first sequence is dealt with. As each appliance is dealt with it stops pulsing.
Series of shots: TV being switched off, plug socket switched off, tap turned off to stop the leaking hot water, heating turned down, mobile phone charger being switched off - we then see energy efficient light bulb, loft installation, street scene.
Voice over:
'We can only tackle climate change, if we all act, now -- together -- by using and wasting less energy and therefore, reduce the CO2 emissions we are each responsible for.'
We end to see parents walking their children and cyclists on the street with no cars. We track past solar panels on the roofs of houses and see the wind turbines in the background. Ends with earth from space back to the way we are used to seeing it - as a beautiful, blue planet.
