Abstract:

Global Warming Pollution in New Jersey provides an inventory of carbon dioxide emissions in New Jersey. The study reveals that transportation and electricity generation produce 70 percent of emissions of carbon dioxide, the leading global warming pollutant, and that emissions from these sectors are expected to rise. The report concludes with suggestions for policies that could help reduce emissions in the state.
