Atmosphere Carbon Dioxide Greenhouse Sea Level

JUNE 5, 2022
With proposed federal regulation of greenhouse gas emissions by the Securities and Exchange Commission requiring GHG disclosure and new state statutes, including a new Maryland law that requires not only disclosure, but also a mandated reduction in GHG emissions, a greater appreciation of the subject of GHG appears in order.

The world is gathering soon in Glasgow to debate how to eliminate greenhouse gas emissions over the coming decades. But what happens when we achieve the goal of zero carbon dioxide emissions from human actions? Does the climate keep warming, stay the same, or even cool? Some models show a potential for a rise of up to 0.3

If people everywhere stopped burning fossil fuels tomorrow, stored heat would still continue to warm the atmosphere. But that doesn’t mean the planet returns to its preindustrial climate or that we avoid disruptive effects such as sea-level rise. Oceans will continue to store heat and exchange it with the atmosphere.

Westlaw searches for “global warming” and “greenhouse effect” pick up only a handful of citations before 1985. The other article about nuclear power also observed in passing that “coal combustion may disrupt global weather patterns by increasing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, creating a ‘greenhouse effect.’”.

Another clue indicating a shortcoming is if you look at the atmospheric CO 2 -concentrations over time to see how much impact the IPCC reports have had on the real policy-makers in the world (Figure below). The cause of our changing climate is the increase in atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations that we have released into the air.

This is a direct result of excessive greenhouse gas emissions, including carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4), and the exploitation of natural resources for capitalistic gain. This can happen naturally, as growing trees and plants turn CO2 into biomass—this is the foundational premise of Natural Climate Solutions.

Some in the industry see the warming as an opportunity, as passages through the Arctic open for longer periods, even going so far as to claim there will be lower overall greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the shorter voyages. Warmer water also expands and raises sea levels as well as holds less oxygen.
