The impact of emissions
article
The atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gases (GHGs), e.g. CO2 methane, nitrous oxide, and chlorofluorocarbons, has increased gradually in the last century. The intergovernmental Panel on Climate Changes (IPCC) has evaluated the size and impact of this increase. One of the conclusions is that the reason behind the increased concentration of GHGs in the atmosphere is due to human activities. As a result, the global atmospheric concentration of CO2 increased from a preindustrial value of approximately 280 to 384 ppmv in 2007. Moreover the GHGs concentration is expected to increase to approximately 600 ppmv by 2050 if no mitigation and emissions reduction options are applied.
