Are Caps on Atmospheric Emissions of Human Activities Equal to Traffic Rules? Nope!
Introduction Capping atmospheric emissions of, say, carbon dioxide, ammonia, NOx, and so on, should be understood as nothing more than setting and enforcing traffic laws. The same would go for setting limits on nitrogen deposition, from, for example, agricultural activities. I recently heard this statement defended (as to nitrogen compounds emissions and deposition). So: the agreements to drive on the left/right side of the road, maximum speeds, priority rules and so on are equivalent to maximum nitrogen deposition caps, such as found in Nitrogen Critical Loads – NCL....
