Are the European member states meeting their Kyoto 2012 carbon dioxide(CO2) emission targets?
The 2010 projection figures are based on existing domestic policies and measures, already implemented by the member states.
Figures are in Megaton (Mt CO2-eq).

Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) pollutes the air primarily as a result of road traffic.
Similar to CO2, Nitrogen dioxide is produced by fossil fuel combustion processes.
These maps show results of satellite measurements over Europe.
They illustrate nitrogen dioxide as large scale pollutant, with rural background ground level concentrations in some areas around 30 µg/m³.
Long-term exposure to NO2 at concentrations of >= 40 µg/m³ will cause danger to people's health.

The EU is working to reduce the effects of climate change and establish a common energy policy.
By 2020 renewable energy should account for 20% of the EU's final energy consumption (8.5% in 2005).

Non-renewable energy sources, do, as their name suggests, run out.
Apart from their impact on global warming, they are finite. Based on the data we have today, we can predict the moment they are actually exhausted. Putting a date on these energy sources underscores the world's need for true sustainable energy sources.
