in C equivalent Explanation: "CO2 measured in "C equivalent" means that only the mass of the carbon is measured, not the mass of carbon dioxide. This is a scientific convention accounting for the fact that carbon cycles through the air, oceans, biosphere, fuels etc. and in the process occurs together with different elements (e.g., CO2, CO, CH4, CaCO3, CFC-12). Emissions expressed in units of elemental C can be easily converted to emissions..." Magda Reference: http://www.ucsusa.org/global_environment/global_warming/page... |
