The Federal Cabinet adopts its first climate target, a 25-30% cut in carbon emissions by 2005 under 1987 levels. Germany agrees on EU regulation to make cars carbon neutral by 2035 (either zero emissions or net-zero). Note: the estimates of 1990 emissions that I found are not entirely consistent, with one estimate closer to 1.2

Restricting the power of the Minister or Cabinet to remove Greenbelt land by regulation alone is a useful step. Yet, given Minister Calandra’s ambiguous comments in the legislature, there is cause for concern that the 10 year annual review process will be manipulated to create a pretext for future attempts to remove Greenbelt land.

That’s because the case, which was about the nature and scope of EPA authority in regulating carbon emissions from existing power plants, turned on a rule that does not exist. Because while this decision does still recognize EPA’s authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions, it simultaneously sharply curtails the agency’s ability to do so.
