Cooling Fossil Fuels Greenhouse Ozone 
Greenbuilding Law
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.

As governments enact mandatory greenhouse gas emission laws and as businesses voluntarily make “net zero” pledges, we are increasingly working with organizations, first to understand and calculate their GHG emissions, then to implement strategies for efficacious yet frictionless reductions. Organic waste sent to landfills emits CH4.

We’ve been hearing a lot lately about geoengineering – the various scientific theories and governance ideas that could eventually lead to technological interventions to help cool the planet. Have fossil fuel industries made any move to co-opt, or benefit from, geoengineering? If we overshoot the 1.5

Step 1: There is a natural greenhouse effect. Thus there must be a large amount of IR absorbed by the atmosphere (around 158 W/m 2 ) – a number that would be zero in the absence of any greenhouse substances. Step 2: Trace gases contribute to the natural greenhouse effect. The Earth’s Energy Budget (NASA).

Fossil fuel power plant owners are facing increased accountability for their air and water pollution, including from a new round of environmental and public health protections that are being rolled out by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). We’ve heard these lazily disingenuous narratives before.

It’s in their very first mitigation recommendation, for a “graduated, differentiated phaseout” in production and consumption of fossil fuels. Isn’t it obvious that the world needs to get rid of fossil fuels, and haven’t a bunch of people called for it? Targeting fossil fuels not emissions.

Despite the panel’s regular reports about the consequences of burning fossil fuels, between 1990 and 2019 global emissions rose 54 percent and they are still rising. This latest report looks at mitigation — or what the world can do to stop pumping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Secretary-General António Guterres.
