New Bill Targets Carbon Dioxide Pipeline Leaks

Legal Planet

Candidate at UCLA Law (2L) Last week, Assemblymember Dr. Joaquin Arambula introduced AB 2623 , a bill designed to guard California communities against the dangers of transporting carbon dioxide in pipelines. You might be familiar with carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change.

Upcoming Developments in International Governance of Marine Carbon Dioxide Removal

Law Columbia

The next week has the potential to bring important developments for international governance of marine carbon dioxide removal (CDR). seaweed) for carbon storage. In 2022, the parties agreed to evaluate those four approaches, and how they should be governed. Solar radiation management is distinct from CDR.

Recent developments on carbon dioxide removal: Increasing policy support but governance issues remain

Law Columbia

Support for carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is growing globally. In its Sixth Assessment Report , released last year, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concluded that global carbon dioxide emissions must reach net-zero by the early 2050s to limit warming to 1.5 By Carolina Arlota and Korey Silverman-Roati.

Real Climate

The fact that there is a natural greenhouse effect (that the atmosphere restricts the passage of infra-red (IR) radiation from the Earth’s surface to space) is easily deducible from; i) the mean temperature of the surface (around 15ºC) and, ii) knowing that the planet is normally close to radiative equilibrium. in IPCC TAR).

Greenhouse gases continued to increase rapidly in 2022

Environmental News Bits

Source: NOAA Levels of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane and nitrous oxide, the three greenhouse gases emitted by human activity that are the most significant contributors to climate change, continued their historically high rates of growth in the atmosphere during 2022, according to NOAA scientists.

A Greener Life

Human activity adds more than 50 gigatons of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere each year. New Solid Carbon technology might be able to lock climate-warming carbon dioxide below ocean bedrock.
