A new paper by Ben Santer and colleagues has appeared in PNAS where they extend their previous work on the detection and attribution of anthropogenic climate change to include the upper stratosphere, using observations from the Stratospheric Sounding Units (SSUs) (and their successors, the AMSU instruments) that have flown since 1979.

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.

In this blog post, we will explore why targeting methane emissions presents a more advantageous strategy for the United States in its quest to mitigate climate change. Over a 20 year period, methane is estimated to be more than 80 times as potent as carbon dioxide in terms of trapping heat in the atmosphere.

I followed with great interest the launch of the sixth assessment report Working Group 1 (The Physical Science Basis) from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) on August 9th. The cause of our changing climate is the increase in atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations that we have released into the air.

True, methane is a potent greenhouse gas. But it’s also a short-lived one, which only stays in the atmosphere for twenty years or so. Because methane contributes to ozone pollution, emissions cause immediate health effects as well as warming effects. That warming could trigger other greenhouse gas emissions.

Today, climate change is the central, though by no means the only, concern in environmental law. Westlaw searches for “global warming” and “greenhouse effect” pick up only a handful of citations before 1985. I found only one relevant reference using the term “climate change” before 1985.

million in Alternative Fuel Incentive Grants (AFIGs) to 18 cleaner fuel transportation projects statewide that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other air pollutants. Transportation generates 47 percent of nitrogen oxide emissions in Pennsylvania, contributing to the formation of ground-level ozone.
