State Initiatives, David Hodas
David R. Hodas
Every state in the United States has adopted laws or policies to address climate change, either explicitly or indirectly through energy regulation, transportation-related initiatives, or energy building codes. Innovative state laws and policies have proven remarkably effective in reducing GHG emissions both quantitatively and as a percentage of state GDP. Broadly speaking, states understand that climate change is a global phenomenon that must be addressed nationally and internationally. Inevitably much GHG emission reduction and adaptation to the adverse consequences of climate change falls on states to implement because of their local powers to regulate utilities, land use, building codes, transportation, …
Law, The Laws Of Nature And Ecosystem Energy Services: A Case Of Wilful Blindness, David R. Hodas
Law, The Laws Of Nature And Ecosystem Energy Services: A Case Of Wilful Blindness, David R. Hodas
David R. Hodas
Ecosystems services include the collection, concentration, and storage of solar energy as fossil fuels (e.g., coal, petroleum, and natural gas). These concentrated forms of energy were produced by ancient ecosystem services. However, our legal and economic systems fail to recognise the value of the ecosystem service subsidies embedded in fossil fuels. This ecosystem services price subsidy causes overuse and waste of fossil fuels in the free market: fossil fuels are consumed more quickly than they can be replaced by ecosystem services and in far larger quantities than they would be if the price of fossil fuels included the cost of …

Ecosystem Subsidies Of Fossil Fuels, David R. Hodas
Ecosystem Subsidies Of Fossil Fuels, David R. Hodas
David R. Hodas
Ecosystems provide the invaluable service of collecting and storing solar energy as fossil fuels (e.g., coal, petroleum, and natural gas). These concentrated forms of energy were gifted to us by the sun and collected and stored for our use by ancient ecosystem services. However, our legal and economic systems fail to recognize the value of this ecosystem service that is embedded in fossil fuels. As a result, society uses fossil fuels as though they were free and inexhaustible. This market failure means that fossil fuels are being consumed more quickly than they can be replenished, which in turn has affected …
Climate Change And Land Use In Africa, David Hodas
Climate Change And Land Use In Africa, David Hodas
David R. Hodas
Sub-Saharan Africa faces a major development crisis due to the global climate crisis and rising prices for fossil fuels. By 2030, the world’s energy needs will be 30 percent greater than they are now. This will frustrate Africa’s plans for rapid economic and technological expansion, which are based on the dominant low-cost fossil fuel model. Climate change is also become pressing policy issues. Although Sub-saharan nations emit very little carbon dioxide, their reliance on livestock and agriculture as commercial resources, results in relatively high level of methane and nitrous oxide emission rate. The IPCC has predicted that climate change will …
Sustainable Development And The Marrakech Accords, David Hodas
Sustainable Development And The Marrakech Accords, David Hodas
David R. Hodas
The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Conference of the Parties (COP) in Marrakech drafted a legal and institutional structure to govern various market-based mechanisms to limit greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This governance instrument incorporated both economic and environmental considerations at every stage of the decision-making process. The Marrakech Accords operational guidelines govern three alternative market-based approaches: Clean Development Mechanism; Joint Implementation; and Emissions Trading. The Marrakech Accords require the development of principles and rules for measuring emission baselines and additionality which define what is a valid GHG emission reduction, the degree sustainability influences project approval, and overall …

State Law Responses To Global Warming: Is It Constitutional To Think Globally And Act Locally?, David R. Hodas
State Law Responses To Global Warming: Is It Constitutional To Think Globally And Act Locally?, David R. Hodas
David R. Hodas
The constitution creates a federalist system, in which States retain general police power not superseded or limited by the Constitution or federal law. Under President George W. Bush, the United States adopted two seemingly conflicting positions. At the federal level, President Bush has rejected the Kyoto Protocol and declined to develop any material foreign or domestic policies to limit greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. At the state level, many states adopted a wide range of policies, statutes and regulations addressing GHG emissions. Critics of these policy initiatives question whether States possess the constitutional authority to address global warming, citing the doctrines …
