Climate Hawks And California's Carbon Offset Program, Ross Astoria
Climate Hawks And California's Carbon Offset Program, Ross Astoria

Abstract Two non-profit organizations composed of climate hawks are presently challenging the legality of the offset portions of California’s greenhouse gas cap-and-trade regulations. They claim that the offset protocols do not guarantee “additionality” as required by AB 32, the Global Warming Solutions Act. In this paper, I look at the general regulatory framework in which California offset projects are to be developed and argue that for the most part climate hawks ought to use the protocols to develop buy-in and disseminate expertise, two “incidental” yet indispensible aspects of successful GHG mitigation policy. The degree to which these two goals can …

Modern societies face many challenges, including growing populations, increased demands for food, clothing, housing, consumer goods, and the concomitant raw materials required to produce all of these. Additionally, there is a growing need for energy, which is most easily met by use of fossil fuels (e.g., coal, natural gas, and petroleum). In 2008, the overall U.S. demand for energy was 99.3 x 1015 Btu (1.05 x 1014 MJ); 84% of this was supplied by fossil sources (U.S. EIA, 2009). Transportation fuels accounted for 28% of all energy consumed during this time, and nearly 97% of this came from fossil sources. …
