Clean Energy Law
JUNE 8, 2022
Assembly Bill 32, the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, requires CARB to develop and update every five years a scoping plan that describes the approach California will take to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to achieve the goal of reducing emissions to 1990 levels by 2020.

Guest Post By Erin Boedicker , 2020-2021 Sustainability Leadership Fellow and Ph.D. When fuels are burned to create energy in a process called combustion, black carbon along with carbon monoxide and other compounds are created because there is not enough oxygen in the atmosphere for the reaction to go to completion.

Replacing these massive carbon sink forests with machinery which continuously pumps vast amounts of carbon dioxide into the Earth’s atmosphere is increasing the rate of global warming.

1,2 In 2020 alone, 46 million acres burned in Australia, and over 10 million acres burned in the United States. Forests are incredibly good at storing carbon, in both soils and plants. When forests burn, that carbon is released into the atmosphere and contributes to greenhouse gases (mostly as carbon dioxide).

Outside of bird protection acts of the early 20 th century, protections for water, air and the atmosphere are a late 20 th -century development, created in the wake of Rachel Carson’s 1962 treatise on pesticides, Silent Spring. Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant. All of us are exhaling carbon dioxide right now.

11) Global warming, in part, is a result of greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere. (10) In addition, approximately $750 million of casinghead gas was flared in 2018 in the Permian Basin, specifically with no public welfare. (11) 11) Global warming, in part, is a result of greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere.

Wetlands even help fight climate change by acting as “ carbon sinks ,” absorbing climate-altering carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere. In 2020, the EPA and Army under President Trump redefined WOTUS so that fewer wetlands and small streams were protected under the Clean Water Act.
