Step 1: There is a natural greenhouse effect. Thus there must be a large amount of IR absorbed by the atmosphere (around 158 W/m 2 ) – a number that would be zero in the absence of any greenhouse substances. Step 2: Trace gases contribute to the natural greenhouse effect. The Earth’s Energy Budget (NASA).

Ontario is failing to reduce the province’s greenhouse gas emissions. This is pitiful, especially because p rovinces hold sizable levers that can reduce (or increase) greenhouse gas emissions in Canada. Ontario does have a target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 30 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030.

By coincidence rather than design, two different approaches to reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the electric power sector have been under discussion by North Carolina agencies since 2021. The two approaches share goals of reducing greenhouse gas emissions 70% by 2030 (from a 2005 baseline) and achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.

It is a scientific fact that greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels are causing climate change. The framework is by no means perfect.
