The American Way to the Kyoto Protocol: an Economic Analysis to Reduce Carbon Pollution. A Study for World Wildlife Fund

This report presents a study of policies and measures that could dramatically reduce US greenhouse gas emissions over the next two decades. It examines a broad set of national policies to increase energy efficiency, accelerate the adoption of renewable energy technologies, and shift energy use to less carbon-intensive fuels. The policies address major areas of energy use in residential and commercial buildings, industrial facilities, transportation, and power generation

Clean Energy: Jobs for America’s Future

This study analyzes the employment, macroeconomic, energy and environmental impacts of implementing the Climate Protection Scenario

Florida's Global Warming Solutions: A Study for: World Wildlife Fund

This report assesses how the set of national actions presented in America’s Global Warming Solutions would affect Florida’s energy systems, carbon emissions and economy. This study finds that by 2010, the set of national actions to reduce global warming would decrease Florida’s primary energy use by 26 percent and its carbon emissions by 36 percent. They would also provide increasing annual savings reaching about $300 per-capita in 2010 and averaging about$110 per-capita per year between now and 2010. Thus, the State would cumulatively save about $17 billion over that period. The set of national actions would also create approximately 39,000 net additional jobs in Florida by 2010. They would reduce emissions of other pollutants and begin to shift the basis of the State’s economy towards more advanced, energy-efficient technologies and cleaner resources. The table below summarizes these results

New England's Global Warming Solutions: A Study for World Wild life Fund

This report presents a detailed analysis of the energy impacts, carbon and pollutant emissions reductions, and economic benefits in New England of the national policies and measures analyzed in America’s Global Warming Solutions. That study indicated that the region would reap about one sixth of the net national employment created. As two years have passed since that study was begun, time has been lost for pursuing and implementing the policies and measures evaluated along the same temporal path. Now, achieving such benefits by 2010 would require an even more aggressive set and schedule of policies, or else the benefits would occur somewhat later in time. Nonetheless, these results show that a truly aggressive national policy commitment to the problem of climate change could achieve large near-term carbon emissions reductions along with environmental and economic gains

The Path to Carbon Dioxide-Free Power: Switching to Clean Energy in the Utility Sector

This report examines the policies and measures needed to accelerate the use of those technologies and dramatically reduce U.S. heat-trapping gas emissions by 2020. The goal is to set the nation on the path to achieving zero-carbon electricity by mid-century

Svensk veckopress 1920-1975

In this survey the contents of 21 Swedish weeklies are scrutinized for the period 1920-1975. Four issues of each paper have been examined for each five years.Innehållsanalysen omspänner perioden 1920-1975. Varje tidningsnamn som valts ut har granskats med 4 nummer per vart 5:e år. Vissa tidningsnamn som varit särskilt svårtillgängliga bakåt i tiden utgör undantag från 5-års regeln och har endast granskats vart 10:e år (1925, 1935, 1945, osv.) utom åren 1965, 1970 och 1975 då samtliga utvalda tidningsnamn granskats. Urvalet av de 4 numren per år har varit styrt i tiden till som regel vecka 7, 20, 33 och 46. Urvalet har styrts sålunda för att de stora säsongsvariationerna i innehållet skall hållas under kontroll. Sammanlagt har 21 stycken tidningsnamn med tillsammans ca 8500 sidor analyserats. De veckotidningar som innehållsanalyserats, täcker merparten av populärpressutgivningen under undersökningsperioden; såväl vad gäller den sammanlagda upplagan som antalet tidningsnamn. Innehållsanalysen omfattar allt material i varje granskat tidningsexemplar. Varje förekommande artikel har klassificerats med hjälp av närmare 500 samtidigt tillgängliga kodkategorier. Annonser, fiction, fackmaterial etc, har granskats med varje tidningsnummer som undersökningsenhet. Reportage och artiklar har granskats med varje artikel som undersökningsenhet
