Using an asymmetrical technique to assess the impacts of CO < sub > 2 < /sub > emissions on agricultural fruits in Pakistan

Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2021 Oct 30. doi: 10.1007/s11356-021-16835-6. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHuman activities such as deforestation and cultivation contribute to the accumulation of carbon dioxide in the environment. Methane is emitted by energy exploration, coal mining, natural gas spills, waste, and waste dumps. Methane generated by such greenhouse gases has significantly contributed to the climate change and global warming. However, the most significant contributor to climate change and global warming is the use of fossil fuels. These fuels contribute to ozone depletion and global warming by emitting greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. The current study key objective was to determine the CO2 emission effect to key fruit production in Pakistan by taking time series annual data varies from 1970 to 2019. A non-linear autoregressive distributed lag model (NARDL) was employed to check the variables linkages. The consequences of short- and long-run estimates expose that the positive and adverse shocks of citrus fruit create expressively to upsurge the CO2 emission. Similarly, the positive and negative shocks of mango fruit expose an adverse interaction to CO2 emission. The positive shock of apple fruit has constructive but negative shock expose and adverse linkage to CO2 emission. Further, banana fruit also exposes a negative but constructive via positive shock linkage to CO2 emission. Moving towards the apricot fruit production that exposed a constructive linkage v...
