But it’s not totally clear what he meant, because “climate change” was used at the time to refer to a range of issues including acid rain, damage to the ozone layer, local weather control efforts, and desertification. In one sentence of a 1975 article, John Barton referred to “climate change” as a potentially severe long-term problem.

Fluorinated gases are sometimes used as substitutes for stratospheric ozone-depleting substances (e.g.,

Recent science doesn’t support this optimism, as new studies show that the increased release of Black Carbon, one of the most potent climate change forcers—as well as soot, carbon dioxide, methane and ozone from more traffic in the Arctic—could lead to a 20% increase in the global heating that is causing warmer ocean temperatures.

In 2015, when he took office as AG after stints in the Texas Legislature, he sued the Environmental Protection Agency for strengthening a standard for ground-level ozone, better known as smog. Between 1990 and 2016, the sea level off its 2,876-mile coast rose 6 inches , at least partly because the land is sinking.

Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) is the most important greenhouse gas that we have added to the atmosphere, however, some of it has been absorbed by land and oceans. In addition, ozone depletion higher up in the stratosphere has caused a cooling high up in the atmosphere. These changes in the oceans is bad news for marine ecosystems.

The SCC is a metric that seeks to capture all of the costs that emitting a ton of carbon dioxide (or equivalent amounts of other greenhouse gases such as methane) imposes on society by contributing to climate change over the hundreds of years it remains in the atmosphere.
