Right now, a major climate fight is blowing up in Australia — the government is about to pass a law that would cut carbon emissions and get polluters to pay.

Jessica Wentz, associate director and a postdoctoral research fellow at Columbia University's Sabin Center for Climate Change Law, wrote in a blog post that the phrasing shift is more technically precise and likely addresses concerns about how far an agency needs to go in calculating emissions.

Over the past year, governments have been making pledges about how they will cut emissions, and one of the main outcomes from Paris will be a new agreement that codifies all those national efforts into international law.

We have a total of 500 climate laws that cover about 90 per cent of emissions.

But what about tomorrow, when new mobility requirements and tougher emissions laws redefine the pleasure of driving and reassess the meaningfulness of performance?

In any case, in reading these arguments, I find it hard to believe that anyone who cares about GLOBAL greenhouse gas emissions / concentrations could cheer the law, and — if so — I'd have to ask why?

We will know if the Obama Administration is truly serious about pursuing a 28 % reduction in America's GHG emissions by 2025 only if we see President Obama issuing formal directions to the EPA to use its full regulatory authority to the maximum extent currently allowed by law in suppressing US carbon emissions.

While the Democratic leadership of the waning 111th Congress failed to get legislation passed into law to address climate change, the House global warming committee, led by Rep. Ed Markey (D - MA), convened dozens of important hearings and briefings featuring top climate scientists and national security experts to educate Congress and the public about the need for swift action to secure America's energy independence, create clean energy jobs and mitigate climate change emissions.

About emissions and temperature as drivers in ice cores, here are two graphs comparing total emissions with total CO2 increase and temperature with total CO2 increase, as measured in ice cores (Law Dome and others) 1900 - 1959: and

With Kyoto now passed into law and the European Emissions Trading System about to enter into force, the business lobby is increasingly tantalized by the prospect of carbon trading.

Observations of earth emission spectra seen outside the atmosphere from satellites should co0ntain components that are emitted from surface that are 333 K or even higher; and this is important since the Wien displacement Law, would shift these emission peaks even further away from the CO2 15 micron nand as the spectral peak moves from its nominal 10.1 microns at 288 K down to about 8.7 microns at 333 K.

They should never be used to set or justify policies, laws or regulations — such as what the Environmental Protection Agency is about to impose on CO2 emissions from coal - fired power plants.
