• Anthropogenic CO2 sources :
power stations, smelters, cars
(SEQ 7.4 x 106 tons 1990) and
cement manufacture. Biomass changes
also make significant inputs.
• If all the coal
were burnt it would increase
the [CO2] to 2000ppm (current 380 ppm) and this would bring the temperature up by 6oC.
• The major coal
reserves are
in :
USSR(45%) USA(25%)
China(4%) FRG
