What is Driving Reductions in Residential Greenhouse Gas Emissions in the U.S.?
Efficiencies in new home construction have greatly contributed to decreases in energy consumption and residential greenhouse gas emissions. In 2005, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from residential energy use hit an all-time high in the United States. Each year since, emissions have dropped at an average annual rate of 2 percent.
Environmental Research Letters, “Drivers of change in US residential energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, 1990–2015,” a team of researchers from the Yale School of the Environment (YSE) outlined several factors that have contributed to this decrease, highlighting efficiencies in new home construction, energy consumption and household appliances, as well as less emissions in electric generation.
YPCCC Helps Facebook Debunk Climate Change Myths The Yale Program on Climate Change Communication (YPCCC) is playing a key role in Facebook’s new initiative to combat the spread of climate change misinformation on its platform.
