Titolo: Le emissioni di gas serra dell'UE calano del 2,5% nel 2011

*Greenhouse gas emissions from the European Union (EU) fell by 2.5 %,*
*despite higher coal consumption and a growing gross domestic product*
*(GDP), according to new estimates from the European Environment Agency*
*(EEA).*
 
Emissions fell even further in the 15 Member States with a common
commitment under the Kyoto Protocol (EU-15), going down by 3.5 % between
2010 and 2011. Based on these EEA estimates, EU 2011 emissions stand
approximately 17.5 % below the 1990 level. The EU-15 stands 14.1 % below
the base-year level under the Kyoto Protocol.
 
The main reasons for the decrease in emissions were a milder winter in most
parts of the EU, which resulted in lower heating demand from households,
and reduced natural gas consumption. Renewable energy consumption also
continued to increase in 2011, which contributed to the observed decrease
in emissions.
 
The economic sectors not covered by the EU Emission Trading System (EU ETS)
reduced emissions by approximately 3.1 %.  The sectors contributing most to
lower emissions in the European Union in 2011 were households and the
service sector. The transport sector also contributed by reducing emissions
for the fourth consecutive year. Emissions under the EU ETS were cut by 1.8
% in 2011.

In sintesi: le emissioni di gas serra sono calate dal 2010 al 2011 del 2,5%
nei 27 paesi europei (EU27) e del 3,5% nell'Europa "ristretta" (EU15)
portando la riduzione rispetto ai valori del 1990 a circa il 17,5%, questo
grazie ad un inverno complessivamente piů mite e all'incremento delle
rinnovabili.
Aggiungo io che l'obiettivo di Kyoto per l'Europa č di circa l'8% di
riduzione sul 1990.
 
Cosě, giusto per avere qualche dato numerico attendibile di riferimento.

 piů che le buone intenzioni potč la crisi....
 
Hai letto il testo o dai risposte in automatico?
Il PIL nel 2011 č aumentato.

 Così, giusto per avere qualche dato numerico attendibile di riferimento.

*Per capita CO2 emissions in China reach EU levels*
 
Global emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) – the main cause of global warming
– increased by 3% last year. In China, the world’s most populous country,
average emissions of CO2 increased by 9% to 7.2 tonnes per capita, bringing
China within the range of 6 to 19 tonnes per capita emissions of the major
industrialised countries.
 
In the European Union, CO2 emissions dropped by 3% to 7.5 tonnes per
capita. The United States remain one of the largest emitters of CO2, with
17.3 tonnes per capita (sic, n.d.L.), despite a decline due to the
recession in 2008-2009, high oil prices and an increased share of natural
gas.
 
According to the annual report ‘Trends in global CO2 emissions’, released
today by the JRC and the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency (PBL),
the top emitters contributing to the global 34 billion tonnes of CO2 in
2011 are: China (29%), the United States (16%), the European Union (11%),
India (6%), the Russian Federation (5%) and Japan (4%).

Complimenti alla Cina che inizia a mostrare i primi indici di economia
sviluppata e benessere economico; non proprio la tipologia di indice
migliore, però. :-|
 
Comunque una soluzione veloce per ridurre le emissioni di CO2 esiste:
usiamo le inutili testate atomiche francesi e nuclearizziamo gli USA. ;)
