Another quote from JC; "But reducing carbon is thus, logically, just one item on the list of answers to "What can we do to raise GDP in 2100?," Asked that way, you can see that "lower carbonemissions" is about #100 on the list, even admitting the 5-10% of GDP thumb-on-the-scale estimates. Here is 2012 video where I elaborate.
It is one thing when a political leaders in a government make an ESG claim. In 2009 the King of Bhutan proclaimed his Himalayan country was ‘carbon negative’ because all of its power was hydroelectric or solar buttressed with large forested areas. carbon dioxide, greenhouse gases, all emissions?).
Countless research has warned of the climate catastrophe that will happen if anthropogenic carbonemissions continue to rise: sea-level rise will accelerate, tropical storms will occur in greater number with greater severity, and droughts will grow harsher and longer.

iii They have also studied networks that fund climate change denialism as well as barriers and opportunities to socio-economic policies or cultural practices which may drive CO2 emissions. i For instance, social scientists have systematically studied the social dimensions of policy ii and economic practices related to climate change.
Brazil’s National Policy on Climate Change ( NPCC and subsequent regulation ) was adopted in 2009 based on Brazil’s international commitments with the UNFCCC. The NPCC establishes a binding commitment to reduce GHG emissions between 36.1% Omissions from the Brazilian government on climate policy. by 2020 against a 2010 baseline.

A pessimistic track record The only times we have managed to reach that level of emissions reductions were during the COVID-19 pandemic last year and during the Great Recession in 2009. has never reduced emissions by that much in a single year.

In 2009, Cambridge physicist David MacKay showed that providing energy to the UK with 100 percent renewables would require a greater area than the landmass of the entire country. The good news is that recent and historical events show that economic growth can actually lower carbonemissions. Today, the US uses just 0.5
Further delay means having to cut emission much more rapidly to make up for lost time. That could turn the goal of getting to net zero emissions by 2050 from merely very difficult to virtually impossible. Because cutting carbonemissions also reduces emissions of deadly particulates, delay could also cost thousands of lives.
emissions from covered power plants, periodically auction off emission allowances, and invest auction proceeds in other programs including end-use energy efficiency, renewable energy, greenhouse gas abatement, and direct customer electric bill assistance. [4]. One study estimates that CO. million in net economic benefits, [6].
should not enter into any climate agreement that fails to limit emissions from developing countries. EPA approves California mandate for zero emission vehicles. Bush EPA denies waiver to allow California to regulate CO2 emissions from new cars. 2012 EPA adopts regulation limiting carbonemissions for new cars.
Last month, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed new power plant carbon pollution standards that, if strengthened, would go a long way to help meet the Biden administration’s goal of slashing carbonemissions in half from 2005 levels by the end of this decade. EN: First, why are these new standards such a big deal?
The court said the plaintiff had not alleged an injury connected to any particular action or law and that her allegations instead suggested disagreements with the defendants’ policy positions, which made her claims nonjusticiable political questions.

The committee followed up that hearing —during which the executives disingenuously denied funding such a campaign—with another hearing on February 8 focusing on the oil companies’ inadequate plans to cut their carbonemissions. By contrast, the second-largest funder of climate disinformation, ExxonMobil, spent $39.2
DEED) Oil and gas companies and their top trade groups were aware for decades that carbonemissions contribute to climate change, according to a scathing new report from congressional investigators.

Environmental justice communities already face a disproportionate amount of pollution emanating from political disenfranchisement and racist policies like redlining. Most notably, the US Fish and Wildlife Service fined BP $100 million under the Migratory Bird Treaty after the 2009 Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
