California established first renewable portfolio standard (20% from renewables by 2010). Required the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to set standards for greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) new vehicles. Required state to reduce emissions to 1990 levels by 2020 and gave broad authority to CARB to implement the standard.

Unless people adapt to rapid environmental change and greenhouse gas emissions are slowed, the risks to biodiversity, water security, food production, infrastructure stability, and health are much higher toward the end of the century. Warming temperatures are causing rapid shifts between wet and dry, flood and drought.

With empirical data and more and better modeling, it has become clear that, to first approximation, the eventual anthropogenic warming from carbon dioxide is tied to the cumulative emissions. This figure is from the AR6 SPM: The relationship between cumulative carbon emissions and temperature (SPM AR6).

“The use of SAF is expected to contribute around 65% of the reduction in emissions needed by aviation to reach net-zero in 2050,” says Albert Tjoeng, head of corporate communications for the IATA, which defines a SAF as a non-fossil fuel that has the potential to generate lower carbon emissions than conventional kerosene in its life cycle.

The US puts a dollar figure on the damage caused by carbon emissions, but new research finds it’s too low, meaning the benefits of reducing emissions are being underestimated. It’s designed to weigh the benefits of reducing warming against the costs of cutting emissions. Establishing the true cost of carbon emissions.
