Climate Letter #330

Should EPA carbon regulations be eliminated? This is a fine piece of tongue-in-cheek reporting by Dana Nuccitelli. Dana thinks a revenue-neutral carbon tax, if legislated, would be an effective as well as ideal way to justify closing out EPA regulation of “carbon pollution.” Moreover, it would be supportable by a majority of Republicans who are not tea party members.

Who could possibly be standing in the way of their acceptance?

That creates a perfect match of data in support of the basic greenhouse-gas theory of global warming.

“Farming Now Worse For Climate Than Deforestation.” This trend gets little attention, but that could easily change. Emissions tied to livestock get a major part of the blame, with extra emphasis on dangerous methane emissions. We may be getting closer to “peak meat.”

A feel-good story, entirely attributed to solar energy. Until recently, fossil fuels got all the credit for lifting masses of people out of poverty. Now perhaps that shoe will be on another foot, starting in places like this.
