Environmental Protection Agency (2007) forced the EPA to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. Massachusetts pointed to the loss of coastal land from sea-level rise, while the Urgenda judgments ultimately concluded that there is a serious risk that climate change will cause the human rights of people in the Netherlands to not be met.

It is worth noting that if all ice melt in Antarctica, sea level would rise by 60 meters (around 200 feet). Time is running out… Image credits: European Space Agency, Lake Chad, 2007. In the same region, the largest volcanic region on Earth -with almost a hundred of volcanoes – was very recently uncovered.

Reduce energy use per square foot in state-owned buildings by 40% from 2002-2003 levels. The state has already made significant progress toward the first goal as a result of the 2002 Clean Smokestacks Act and 2007 adoption of a renewable energy portfolio standard (REPS) for major energy producers.

Even before adoption of the 1992 Framework Convention, the Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS) had proposed an “International Insurance Pool” to pay vulnerable countries based on observed sea level rise. The first explicit use of the term L&D was in the 2007 Bali Action Plan , in a section on enhanced action for adaptation.

It was because of smoke during the 2007 wildfire season in the United States, the second worst at the time for acreage burned. Unlike a sunrise that quickly brightens from gold to blinding white, the sun rose behind Half Dome as a pinkish-orange pinhole and bizarrely remained a tiny, reddish-orange pea in the sky more than an hour later.
