Policies that preserve flexibility and diversity in supplying energy and that as far as possible avoid irreversible commitments to large-scale, long-term use of coal or oil shale may also be appropriate. Over the intermediate term, policies to encourage the substitution of less carbon-intensive fuels are appropriate for consideration by governments. Such policies might include (1) a "carbon tax" on fossil fuel use; (2) a system of marketable permits for CO2 or greenhouse gas emissions, tradeable on a regional basis or (3) incentives for the use of alternative non-fossil technologies. 3, record 1, English, - carbon%2Dintensive

L'intensité carbonique permet de reconnaître le moins polluant(du point de vue rejet de gaz carbonique) de plusieurs appareils, procédés ou méthodes. Plus l'intensité est faible moins l'appareil pollue, plus elle est élevée, plus l'appareil pollue. Il faut bien prendre garde de ne pas confondre cette notion avec l'intensité énergétique : un combustible qui offre un bon rendement(énergie utilisée-travail produit) est qualifié de combustible à forte intensité énergétique; un combustible qui produit peu de rejets carboniques est qualifié de combustible à faible intensité carbonique. 2, record 1, French, - %C3%A0%20intensit%C3%A9%20carbonique

Chez la plupart des plantes, la respiration est aérobique, car elle utilise l’oxygène de l’air dans le processus de l’oxydation des aliments (surtout des glucides et lipides). La respiration aérobique a un fort rendement énergétique [...] Les produits finaux de la respiration aérobique sont le gaz carbonique, l’eau et l’énergie. 2, record 2, French, - respiration%20a%C3%A9robie

La respiration aboutit à la formation de composés uniquement minéraux et se traduit dans le cas de la respiration aérobie par une absorption d’oxygène et un rejet de gaz carbonique; elle est essentiellement due à l'activité des mitochondries. 4, record 2, French, - respiration%20a%C3%A9robie

Peat moss, sphagnum etc. used for packing roots should be new and clean. Seedlings at the stage of active growth may rot by respiratory heat or overmoisture from transpiration. Adequate use of packing material is important for these kinds of plants. 1, record 3, English, - respiratory%20heat

Tomatoes destined for distant markets or tomatoes in the pink or light red stage should be cooled immediately after harvest to avoid becoming overripe before reaching the consumer. Placing containers of warm tomatoes in a refrigerated space, known as room cooling, is recommended. To aid room cooling and prevent the buildup of heat of respiration, containers of tomatoes should be loosely stacked with space between the containers to allow for sufficient air circulation. 4, record 3, English, - respiratory%20heat

La respiration [est une] réaction [qui] libère de l'énergie utilisable par la plante. La respiration se manifeste extérieurement par l'existence de deux flux gazeux : pénétration d’oxygène et rejet de gaz carbonique. L'intensité respiratoire se mesure par le volume d’oxygène absorbé ou de gaz carbonique dégagé par la plante [...] 2, record 3, French, - chaleur%20de%20respiration

Un premier sujet de préoccupation pour les climatologistes est l’accroissement des rejets de CO2 résultant des activités humaines, et par suite, l’augmentation à caractère exponentiel du taux d’accumulation de ce gaz dans la basse atmosphère. 2, record 4, French, - rejet%20de%20gaz%20carbonique

Le carbone rejeté dans l'atmosphère y est présent sous forme de gaz carbonique(CO2). En général, les termes «rejet» et «émission» sont utilisés comme des synonymes. Cependant, on les retrouve parfois en opposition dans certains textes; le terme «rejet» prend alors le sens spécifique de corps émis par une cheminée, par une tubulure, suite à une activité humaine; le terme «émission» demeure quant à lui un terme générique désignant autant les rejets que les autres formes involontaires d’émissions. 3, record 4, French, - rejet%20de%20gaz%20carbonique
