“In a study published today in Proceedings of the National
Academy of Sciences, a team led by atmospheric scientists Logan Mitchell and
John Lin report that suburban sprawl increases CO2 emissions more than similar
population growth in a developed urban core.
“The general thought is that more compact cities on a per
capita basis emits less carbon,” Lin says. “Some of these cities also have
these expanding fringes. These places are less ‘green’, so to speak. That
expanding frontier is moving.””
