The Warm Home Discount requires the big suppliers, by law, to help vulnerable customers in the UK pay for energy.
However, as I understand it what is currently the mainstream view is that what explains the transition from early 20th century warming to the flat period between is the resumption of industrial production and thus of reflective aerosols (predominantly sulfates), and that likewise, it was the passage in the early seventies of laws requiring cleaner emissions that reduced reflective aerosols.
As I discussed in # 333, requiring a warmer lower part of the atmosphere, on warming further and emitting more IR, to cause a cooler part receiving the excess IR to cool further, violates radiative transfer principles and / or the Second Law.
HOWEVER, when you apply the laws of physics to the new end state, ie globe warmed by a few degrees by GHGs, you get a situation where the new Wiens law value (higher driving temperature gives hotter energy spectrum out) and the new Stefan - Boltzmann value, (ie HIGHER energy out) disagree with the physical situation that the model REQUIRES — ie energy out = 99.98 units which is LOWER.
How can Wien's law require more energy - out be generated but the only source of energy for global warming (except the solar) is by reducing the energy - out to create an energy imbalance to create the radiative warming.
When it is signed into law by Brown, SB 32 will extend the climate targets adopted by the state under Assembly Bill 32 (AB 32), the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, which required California to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2020.
People obviously see though Jerry Brown's feeble attempt to quash this by naming the initiative «Suspends Air Pollution Control Laws Requiring Major Polluters to Report and Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions That Cause Global Warming Until Unemployment Drops Below Specified Level for Full Year.»
«Suspends air pollution control laws requiring major polluters to report and reduce greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming, until unemployment rate drops to 5.5 percent or less for full year.»
«Suspends implementation of air pollution control law (AB 32) requiring major sources of emissions to report and reduce greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming, until unemployment rate drops to 5.5 percent or less for full year.»
In summary, a strong case can be made that the US emissions reduction commitment for 2025 of 26 % to 28 % clearly fails to pass minimum ethical scrutiny when one considers: (a) the 2007 IPCC report on which the US likely relied upon to establish a 80 % reduction target by 2050 also called for 25 % to 40 % reduction by developed countries by 2020, and (b) although reasonable people may disagree with what «equity» means under the UNFCCC, the US commitments can't be reconciled with any reasonable interpretation of what «equity» requires, (c) the United States has expressly acknowledged that its commitments are based upon what can be achieved under existing US law not on what is required of it as a mater of justice, (d) it is clear that more ambitious US commitments have been blocked by arguments that alleged unacceptable costs to the US economy, arguments which have ignored US responsibilities to those most vulnerable to climate change, and (e) it is virtually certain that the US commitments can not be construed to be a fair allocation of the remaining carbon budget that is available for the entire world to limit warming to 2 °C.
«The bill declares that current law does not authorize or require the regulation of climate change or global warming and nullifies certain proposed rules relating to greenhouse gas and carbon pollution emissions,» the description reads.
The other part is that the ocean is warmer than the air and so for the atmosphere to put energy into the ocean would require breaking the second law of thermodynamics, the law of entropy.
All the law did was require coal plants to use them, a change that had very little impact on consumers, who were more concerned then about acid rain than they are today about global warming.
But this week, North Carolina lawmakers reached new heights of denial, proposing a new law that would require estimates of sea level rise to be based only on historical data — not on all the evidence that demonstrates that the seas are rising much faster now thanks to global warming.
If the energy required for the extra evaporation does all or mostly come from the water then as I have explained it has the potential to more than offset the expected reduction in energy flow that would otherwise be caused by a warmer topmost few microns according to Fourier's Law.
But California's landmark global warming law, passed in 2006, requires the state's greenhouse gas emissions to be slashed to 1990 levels by 2020, amounting to a 30 % cut over expected levels.
It is not greenhouse warming because there was no isudden increase of carbon dioxide in 1910 when it started as required by laws of physics for initiating a greenhouse warming.
The reason I contrasted the two types of «heat pump», heat pumps and air conditioners, was to illustrate the large amount of work (energy) required to circumvent the Second Law — ie to cool an object further by moving energy from it to a warmer one or warmer surroundings.
Major emitters are required under a 2008 law signed by President George W. Bush to provide detailed annual reports of their emissions of carbon dioxide and five other heat - trapping gases that contribute to global warming.
