EPA’s latest proposed rule targeting NOx emissions from fossil-fueled electric generating units (EGUs) is a classic study of diminishing returns. The agency’s air quality modeling indicates that most areas would receive an ozone reduction of less than 0.1 enjoyed ozone reductions of 3 to 5 ppb or more.

In the 1960s climate change was not really a significant concern, not even amongst environmentalists – this was despite the fact that the Swedish scientist Svante Arrhenius in 1896 was the first to claim that emissions from fossil fuels might eventually result in enhanced global warming. This has since changed many times.

For some parts of the spectrum, the IR can be either absorbed by CO 2 or by water vapour or by clouds, but taking those overlaps into account we find that 50% of the greenhouse effect is from water vapour, 25% from clouds, and about 20% from CO 2 and the rest absorbed by ozone, aerosols, and other trace gases ( Schmidt et al, 2010 ).

The agency estimates that in 2030, the proposal would reduce methane from covered sources by 87 percent below 2005 levels. These include known cancer-causing toxics like benzene, VOCs that increase ozone levels, and methane. Of these impacts, fossil fuels are the most serious threat to children’s health worldwide.

Governments and farmers have known what “biosecurity” measures to take for decades, and enacted them, partly, in response to the 2005 avian flu (H5N1) epidemic. US electricity sector emissions decreased 34 percent from 2005 to 2019, including an astonishing 10 percent in 2019, which is the largest year-on-year decline in history.

Attorneys general (AGs) in the five states most vulnerable to climate change, however, are doing the exact opposite: Instead of defending their constituents, they are defending the fossil fuel industry. Moody also jumped in head-first to protect the fossil fuel industry.
