Average carbon-dioxide emissions from new cars in Britain have fallen by more than 13% since 1997, according to the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders. More fuel-efficient petrol engines and the growing use of diesel-powered cars are behind the fall, the SMMT says in a report published today.

The 700 to 800 deaths which study author Mark Jacobson, a Civil and Environmental Engineering Professor at Stanford, attributed to carbon dioxide pollution were lung and heart ailments linked to polluting particles and ozone in the air, themselves generally thought to be the result of human produced CO2.

German utility RWE, Europe's largest polluter, said on Friday it plans to develop a new process to remove carbon-dioxide from the emissions of coal-fired power plants as countries throughout Europe make it more expensive to emit the greenhouse gas.

With all the focus on the long-term climate implications of our skyrocketing atmospheric CO2, a separate effect is sneaking up on us: carbon is turning the oceans acidic in a way that may be catastrophic for marine life.

LOS ANGELES — The 2008 Toyota Sequoia's debut at the 2007 Los Angeles Auto Show was marred by a belligerent encounter between a Toyota executive and an environmental activist posing as another industry official on Wednesday.The Chicago Tribune reported that the activist, who was not named, is a member of the San Francisco-based Rainforest Action Network. He asked Bob Carter, Toyota Motor Sales USA vice president and general manager, why Toyota is suing California over carbon-dioxide emissions regulations.Police escorted the man outside the convention center, where he chewed his credential in his mouth before handing it over. The company is not expected to press charges.In the meantime, Toyota showed off a second-generation Sequoia with a new body, new interior, new chassis and a new optional 5.7-liter V8 with a six-speed automatic transmission. The new engine churns out 381 horsepower, which Toyota notes is "one of the highest outputs in this vehicle class." The carryover 4.7-liter V8 is still standard on the big SUV.The EPA says the 2008 Sequoia equipped with the 5.7-liter V8 returns 13 mpg in city driving and 18 mpg on the highway. In comparison, the 4.7-liter V8 returns 13 mpg in city driving and 16 mpg on the highway.The new Sequoia is bigger than the previous model, with increases in overall length, width and height.What this means to you: The Sequoia has been beefed up nicely. Now someone needs to do likewise for security at auto shows. — Anita Lienert, Correspondent© Source:edmundsWe need your comments below >>

China surpassed the United States this year as the world's top producer of carbon-dioxide emissions. This came as no surprise given China's size, economic growth and environmental record.

Don't hold your breath waiting for one. Airports want to grow because more people want to fly. But cheap flying has come with costs attached. By most measures aviation generates 2-3% of man-made emissions of carbon-dioxide, the main greenhouse gas.
