Cobenefits: benefits (often health benefits) associated with reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. For example, reduced emissions of air pollutants can have immediate health benefits.
Cholera: An intestinal infection, caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae, which results in frequent watery stools, cramping abdominal pain, and eventual collapse from dehydration. It is thought that zooplankton in cold waters may carry many cholera vibrios on their bodies.
Climate-Sensitive Health Outcome is any health outcome whose geographic range, incidence, or transmission intensity is directly or indirectly associated with weather or climate.
Climate projection: A projection of the climate system's response to emissions or concentration scenarios of greenhouse gases and aerosols, or radiative forcing scenarios, often based upon simulations by climate models.
Carbon dioxide is a product of fossil fuel combustion. Although carbon dioxide does not directly impair human health, it is a greenhouse gas that traps terrestrial (i.e., infrared) radiation and contributes to the potential for global warming.

Ammonia has the potential for power generation, but its carbon footprint depends on how it's made. A reminder that not all 'clean' energy is created equal. ๐ฟ๐ก #ClimateScience#NetZero
Ammonia as a power source sounds promising, but depending on production methods, it can lead to massive greenhouse gas emissionsโchallenging global temperature goals. ๐โก #ClimateChange#CleanEnergy
Earth needs more than just conferences and speeches. It craves action and commitment. Let's stand up against climate change, starting today, without any delay. #NoMoreTalk#ClimateActionNow.
In terms of the amount of heat these gases can absorb and re-radiate (known as their global warming potential or GWP), CH4 is 23 times more effective and N2O is 296 times more effective than CO2. However, there is much more CO2 in the Earthโs atmosphere than there is CH4 or N2O.
