For example, the IPCC notes that France had 4,000 fewer deaths than anticipated from a heat wave in 2006 thanks to improved health care, an early-warning system and greater public consciousness in response to a deadly heat wave three years earlier. Carbon emissions are thus following the same trajectory as other air pollutants.

The DEP estimates that by joining RGGI in 2022, Pennsylvania would have been able to cut carbon emissions by at least 25.5% And considering Pennsylvania accounts for nearly 1% of greenhouse gas emissions worldwide, that reduction could have global significance. You cannot have cleaner green energy projects without fossil fuel.
