Vermont’s Global Warming Solutions Act (GWSA) requires our state to meet some very stringent greenhouse gas reduction targets in 2025, 2030, and 2050. To be precise, 26% below 2005 levels by 2025, 40% below 1990 levels by 2030, and 80% below by 2050.

Really? The EPA Is Going to Take a Second Bite at the CO2 Apple?
Yeah, “jealously guarding their Powers” is a quote I keep using in talking about what each of our co-equal Branches of Government should be doing (but haven’t). Yet, in the lengthening shadow of the SCOTUS decision that the EPA could just make stuff up on their own (e.g., can’t regulate CO2 emissions of power plants … Read more
Data Point – US Already the Leading Nation, by a Factor of 5, in Reducing CO2 Emissions
So why all the sackcloth and ashes by the Left for the simple decision by the Supreme Court that the EPA doesn’t currently have the Power to kill off our fossil fuel industry? THAT is supposed to only be done by our elected representatives and not by a bunch of ideologically crazed Obama retread Greenie … Read more
DISQUS Doodlings – Am I My Great-Great-Great-Great-Grandfather’s Sustainability Keeper?
I really just don’t get it – how do these Eco-Socialists and Critical Race Theory Marxists believe that we are going to accept this nonsense?
Data Point: Of the Top 25 Greenhouse Gas Emitting Cities, China Has the Top 23
There’s been an awful lot of hand-wringing about CO2 emissions and Americans have been made to think that we are the most awful at emitting it.
Data Point – Whose Carbon Emissions are Out of Control? Not the US’s
I grow weary of the US being the world’s whipping boy for almost every evil in the world. The Eco-Socialists are always blaming us yet even as our population went from 203 million people to 327 million, our emissions stayed relatively flat. So as our population went up by 50%, per capita emissions went down. … Read more
Data Point – Climate change is mostly about virtue-signaling, not actually doing (unless you are the US)
About that “Paris Accord”? Reformatted, emphasis mine:
Nineteen nations “believe” in climate change. How are they backing up their statement of faith? China was praised for signing on to the Paris Climate Agreement and in Argentina reaffirmed its commitment to controlling greenhouse gas emissions. Last year, however, China increased those emissions by 1.7 percent. India, the fourth largest source for CO2, saw their emissions grow by 4.6 percent in 2017. Luckily for them, they too were praised for signing that “nonbinding communiqué.” Overall, the European Union raised their CO2 output by 1.5 percent. France, home of the Paris Agreement, is leading the diplomatic effort to save the planet. They increased their greenhouse gas emissions by 3.6 percent. . . .
If the nations paying lip service to climate change aren’t meeting their goals, imagine how poorly the oil-drilling, coal-mining Americans must be doing.
Data Point – US CO2 / capita 1949 – 2040 (just in time for Earth Day)
Can we tell the EPA and the Greenies to take a regulation / legal breather for, oh, 20 years? (H/T: AEIdeas)
