It could also affect human health, animals, and many types of ecosystems. To address this important environmental issue, the RGGI participating states will be developing a regional strategy for controlling emissions. This strategy will more effectively control greenhouse gases, which are not bound by state or national borders. Central to this initiative is the implementation of a multi-state
Climate Myths: CO

Is water a far more important a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide, as some claim? It is not surprising that there is a lot of confusion about this the answer is far from simple. Firstly, there is the greenhouse effect, and then there is global warming. The greenhouse effect is caused by certain gases (and clouds) absorbing and re-emitting the infrared radiating from Earth's surface. It currently keeps our planet 20°C to 30°C warmer than it would be otherwise. Global warming is the rise in temperatures caused by an increase in the levels of greenhouse gases due to human activity. Water vapour is by far the most important contributor to the greenhouse effect. Pinning down its precise contribution is tricky, not least because the absorption spectra of different greenhouse gases overlap.

The UNFCCC commits the Community and its Member States to develop, periodically update, publish and report to the Conference of the Parties national inventories of anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by sinks of all greenhouse gases not controlled by the Montreal Protocol on substances that deplete the ozone layer (greenhouse gases), using comparable methodologies agreed upon by the Conference of the Parties. The UNFCCC commits all Parties to formulate, implement, publish and regularly update national, and where appropriate, regional programmes containing measures to mitigate climate change by addressing anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by sinks of all greenhouse gases.

Extractions: The How-to Manual That You Can Edit Help RSS Create an account or log in My talk ... Del.icio.us Digg Facebook Blogger Google Bookmarks Yahoo MyWeb ... More and more people are wondering how they can do their part to help reduce the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. While change won't happen overnight, here are steps that you can take against global warming. Plant a Tree . Well-placed landscaping cuts energy costs in summer and winter. Whilst alive, the tree will store carbon dioxide that would otherwise be in the atmosphere. Trees that are placed so that they will provide shade for your house will also help it stay cool in the summer. Better yet, make it a fruit or a nut tree. Planting perennials that yield food, including berry bushes and garden vegetables and herbs, will help you eat locally while 'fixing' more carbon in the soil. Introducing these plants in public places, by the sides of roads and in parks, is another way to benefit the community and the climate. When planting outside your home, limit yourself to native species. If you need to repaint your house, use latex paint rather than oil-based. Latex paint releases significantly fewer harmful fumes while drying and smells a lot better.
California Sues Over Greenhouse Gas Rules - Environment - MSNBC.com

Extractions: SACRAMENTO, Calif. - California sued the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on Wednesday for denying its first-in-the-nation greenhouse gas limits on cars, trucks and SUVs, challenging the Bush administration's conclusion that states have no business setting emission standards. Other states are expected to join the lawsuit, which was anticipated after the EPA on Dec. 19 denied California's request for a waiver, required under the federal Clean Air Act. The lawsuit was filed in the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco. EPA Administrator Stephen L. Johnson denied California a waiver that it needs under the federal Clean Air Act to move forward with regulating greenhouse gas emissions from new cars and trucks. At least 16 other states had been expected to follow California's lead and adopt the state's tougher emission limits. "There's absolutely no justification for the administrator's action," Attorney General Jerry Brown said Wednesday. "It's illegal. It's unconscionable and a gross dereliction of duty."

Search: Rich Clabaugh By Mark Clayton from the September 11, 2007 edition E-mail Print Letter to the Editor Republish ... digg Page 1 of 2 Snyder, Texas - Gazing across a rejuvenated old West Texas oil field, Larry Adams sings the praises of carbon dioxide. That might seem odd. The gas is linked to global warming, which has prompted calls from governments and environmentalists alike to reduce oil use. But here at the SACROC field in America's fading oil belt, CO2 is providing the boost the industry needs. By pumping the greenhouse gas deep underground, oil companies are squeezing out more oil and providing new life to fields that have been declining for decades. But if the companies can capture the carbon dioxide that other industries produce, then the greenhouse gas may become cheap and plentiful enough to be a boon to Big Oil. "This process of using CO2 for enhanced oil recovery is just a niche today, but if other man-made sources became available, it could become a boom," says Mr. Adams, CO2 engineering manager for Kinder Morgan, the nation's largest transporter of CO2 for enhanced oil recovery or EOR.

http://www.ucsusa.org/global_warming/science/global-warming-faq.html

Extractions: Scientists have concluded that human activities are contributing to global warming by adding large amounts of heat-trapping gases to the atmosphere. Our fossil fuel use is the main source of these gases. Every time we drive a car, use electricity from coal-fired power plants, or heat our homes with oil or natural gas, we release carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases into the air. The second most important source of greenhouse gases is deforestation, mainly in the tropics, and other land-use changes. Since pre-industrial times, the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide has increased by 31 percent. Over the same period, atmospheric methane has risen by 151 percent, mostly from agricultural activities like growing rice and raising cattle.

This was the largest annual amount ever produced by any country on record, said The Royal Society, the UK national academy of science, warning that urgent action is needed to curb emissions. The increase, which occurred during a period of economic expansion, was due primarily to an increase in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions associated with fuel and electricity consumption, said EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson. Stephen Johnson is administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. (Photo courtesy Taylor U. "The Bush administration has an unparalleled financial, international and domestic commitment to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions," Johnson said, attempting to present the record U.S. emission levels in the best possible light. The U.S. report shows that levels of two other greenhouse gases - methane and nitrous oxide - have decreased from 1990 levels by 10 percent and two percent, respectively.

Industry Home Industry sectors Related topics Find out more Top The Australian Government's pioneering Greenhouse Gas Abatement Programme (GGAP) will play an important part in helping Australia meet its international emissions reduction target. GGAP aims to reduce Australia's net greenhouse gas emissions by supporting activities that are likely to result in substantial emissions reductions or activities to offset greenhouse emissions, particularly in the period 2008-2012. The most recent emission projections show that GGAP will deliver an abatement of 5 million tonnes (Mt) of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO -e) in 2010. The programme leverages private sector investment in activities or technologies through projects. Examples of GGAP projects are based on co-generation (the use of waste heat or steam from power production or industrial processes for power generation), energy efficiency, travel demand management, alternative fuels, coal mine gas technologies and fuel conversion. Three funding rounds of GGAP have been concluded. No further funding rounds are being offered.
How Much Greenhouse Gas Does California Swine Produce? | Wired Science From Wire
A question we often find ourselves asking is just how much raising swine in the great state of California contributes to global warming.

Extractions: Top Stories Magazine Wired Blogs All Wired Main By Alexis Madrigal Categories: Climate Dataset A question we often find ourselves asking is just how much raising swine in the great state of California contributes to global warming. Now, with help from the data released by the Air Resources Board , I can definitively tell you that raising swine in this state generated 0.0116149133041726 million metric tons of greenhouse gases, the equivalent of burning 1.3 million gallons of gasoline. The US is balking at capping its greenhouse gas emissions below 1990 levels, but here in California, a law known as AB 32 has done just that. Implementing the policy required that the state do a complete inventory of its GHG emissions from 1990 on, so it could actually determine what the cap should be. That meant calculating the emissions from hundreds of sources from dairy cows to jet fuel to passenger cars. Here at Wired Science, we figure that you are nerds like us who love data, so we made the ARB spreadsheet a little friendlier, calculated gallons of gas equivalents out of the metric tons of greenhouse gases, and have posted the Excel doc for 2004 in glorious detail here: California Greenhouse Gas Emissions Breakdown .
