This Article discusses the efforts of the United States to control greenhouse gas GHG emissions, primarily carbon dioxide CO2, through international negotiations, new domestic legislation, and by using the Clean Air Act. The focus is on developments in 2. At the international level, the Article advocates limiting negotiation to the twenty nations responsible for eighty percent of the worlds GHG emissions. The Article evaluates the major bills introduced in Congress dealing with climate change and concludes they are costly, complex, and intrusive income redistribution measures. How Much Do World Rally Drivers Earn Money. The Article then discusses the use of existing laws in an extensive regulatory and litigation driven effort to reduce CO2 emissions. I. Introduction. Global atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide CO2 in preindustrial times was about 2. From 2. 00. 0 to 2. CO2 emissions was 3. In 2. 00. 7 the increase in atmospheric CO2 was 2. This increase in the concentration of CO2 and other greenhouse gases GHGs, primarily methane and nitrous oxide NOx from anthropogenic sources, is believed to be making the planet warmer. Precursor gasescarbon monoxide, NOx, and nonmethane volatile organic compoundscontribute indirectly to global warming. Sulfate aerosols, which are small particles or liquid droplets that often are produced by sulfur dioxide SO2 emissions, can affect the absorptive characteristics of the atmosphere and have a climate cooling effect. Several classes of halocarbons containing fluorine, chlorine, and bromine also are GHGs. These are known as chlorofluorocarbons, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, halons which are halocarbon compounds containing bromine, and sulfur hexafluoride. In 2. 00. 8, United States CO2 emissions were 5. In addition, 5. 67. Beyond Compare 3.3.8 License Key' title='Beyond Compare 3.3.8 License Key' />CO2 equivalent CO2e, 3. NOx CO2e, and much smaller amounts of the other GHGs were emitted. Since 1. NOx emissions have decreased, but CO2 emissions have increased by an annual average of 0.

Thus, fossil fuel combustion control is the focus of GHG control in the United States. Electric power generators produced 3. CO2 in 2. 00. 8 the transportation sector produced 3.

The 1. 99. 2 the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development UNCED, popularly known as Earth Summit, took place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where 1. The Rio meeting produced Agenda 2. Most developed countries pushed an environmental agenda, but developing countries were primarily concerned with economic development. This dichotomy in the views of nations continues today, which makes agreement on the appropriate efforts to deal with climate change difficult. The UNCED produced the Framework Convention on Climate Change FCCC to deal with climate change, which was the first international agreement to address climate change. Developed countries, including the United States, were to lower emissions of the GHGs that are not subject to the Montreal Protocol to 1. The FCCC does not classify GHGs as pollutants but defines them as those gaseous constituents of the atmosphere, both natural and anthropogenic, that absorb and reemit infrared radiation. The United States Senate unanimously approved the FCCC on October 7, 1. FCCC did not create legally binding targets or timetables for limiting GHG emissions and the Administration would not agree to amendments or protocols to the treaty that create a binding emissions reduction commitment without subsequent Senate approval. President George H. W. Bush signed the treaty on October 1. March 2. 1, 1. 99. FCCC entered into force after the required fifty countries ratified it. By 2. 00. 9 the FCCC had been ratified by 1. A. Evolution of the Framework Convention on Climate Change. After the FCCC entered into force, the Parties to the agreement began to meet each year to deal with climate change issues. In 1. 99. 5, the first Conference of the Parties COP to the FCCC took place in Berlin. At the Second Conference of the Parties COP 2 in Geneva, the United States for the first time indicated it was willing to have legally binding targets to cap CO2 emissions in the United States. The Third Conference of the Parties COP 3, held December 11. Kyoto, Japan, produced the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations FCCC Kyoto Protocol or Protocol. The Protocol divides nations into Annex I and non Annex I countries. The developed nations are designated Annex I nations, which includes the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development OECD nations as of 1. Eastern and Central Europe, and the European states of the former Soviet Union. The non Annex I nations are developing nations. The Kyoto Protocol calls for GHG reductions from thirty eight nations and the countries comprising the European Community that are the Annex I nations. At Kyoto, the Annex I Parties agreed to reduce their anthropogenic CO2 emissions of the six GHGs listed in Annex A by at least five percent below 1. The United States agreed to a seven percent reduction, the European Union agreed to an eight percent reduction, and Japan agreed to a six percent reduction of GHGs. These reductions are to be implemented using domestic laws of the ratifying nations. Non Annex I nations have no obligations to reduce emissions during the covered period that ends in 2. Each developed nation determines how to measure its compliance and reports its emissions to international authorities. Each developed nation may offset its emissions by expanding its forests or by using specified market mechanisms described below. The goal of the Kyoto Protocol is to have developed nations reduce their use of fossil fuels, but there is no effective mechanism to assure compliance. Many of the details concerning program development and compliance were left for future determination. At the Fourth Conference of the Parties COP 4 held in Buenos Aires in 1. United States signed the Kyoto Protocol. However, because the Protocol was strongly opposed by many senators, the Clinton administration did not submit the Protocol to the Senate for ratification. The Senate opponents primary rationale for opposing the Protocol was the projected adverse economic costs of implementing its mandated GHG emissions limits. Eighty three countries plus the fifteen member states of the European Union signed the Protocol between March 1. March 1. 5, 1. 99. Annex I Parties, indicating their acceptance of the text and intent to become Parties. To enter into force, the Protocol had to be ratified or adopted, approved, or acceded to by fifty five Parties to the Convention, including Annex I Parties accounting for fifty five percent of CO2 emissions from this group in 1. By May 2. 00. 2, the European Union had ratified the Kyoto Protocol. On February 1. 6, 2. Kyoto Protocol entered into force after Russia became the 1. Protocol. 4. 3No major development occurred at the Fifth Conference of the Parties COP 5 in 1. Bonn, Germany. 4. The Sixth Conference of the Parties COP 6, which met in 2. The Hague, led to the Bonn Accords dealing with finances the flexibility mechanisms compliance and land use, land use change, and forestry.
