In addition to these opportunities, a range of ocean-based carbon removal approaches could help capture and store billions of tons of carbon. Importantly, these approaches would not increase oceanacidification. The ocean absorbs just under one-third of anthropogenic CO2 emissions, contributing to a rise in oceanacidification.
Carly Phillips, a research scientist for the Union of Concerned Scientists, told DeSmog that her organization had used the database to assign responsibility for rising sea levels , oceanacidification , and the increased frequency of forest fires.
The new study from the Oxford Sustainable Law Programme and Environmental Change Institute, Filling the evidentiary gap in climate litigation, finds that many lawsuits have not used the latest advances in attribution science as evidence. The power of climate litigation is increasingly clear”, said lead author Rupert Stuart-Smith.
In August, the EPA pushed ADM to move quickly, giving the company less than a week to start working with regulators to get the project back into compliance with federal law. “In this instance, the Region notified federal elected officials and state and local agencies.”
It can reverse oceanacidification by absorbing carbon dioxide. We’d have to grow quite a bit of seaweed to rely on it for sequestration: One study suggests we could remove the equivalent of 42 percent of all current global CO2 emissions by covering 4 percent of the world’s oceans in seaweed farms — but that’s a lot of ocean.
In addition to plastic waste, 30 to 40% of carbon emissions from cars, buses, airplanes, and manufacturing plants are absorbed by the ocean, causing chemical imbalance in sea water i.e. OceanAcidification. Intentional implementation of ocean conservation by EVERYONE.
“Litigation has a key role to play in light of this lack of ambition from states and other stakeholders,” said Maria Antonia Tigre, director of global climate litigation at the Sabin Center for Climate Change Law at Columbia University. While not a silver bullet solution, she told DeSmog, litigation is certainly “part of the answer.”

The regulations have driven some companies back to a “just comply with the law” mindset (which slows their ambition). And while investors coming the table was a good thing, it has amped up attention on their needs over those of other stakeholders.
Despite fears about cost increases and low-sulfur fuel availability, the change was a success in terms of decreasing pollution that contributes to oceanacidification and harms the health of humans and marine life. Regulatory rewind: On Jan.1, The biggest shipping companies (i.e.,
In January, Delaware’s Superior Court denied oil companies’ motion to dismiss the state’s case against them while granting a few concessions, including that out-of-state emissions were the territory of the Clean Air Act, beyond the limits of state law. Emissions that originated in Delaware, however, were fair game.
Emitting carbon pollution causes local air pollution and health costs plus the economic damages from storms, crop-loss, forest fires, rising sea-levels, oceanacidification, spread of disease and other issues. There are situations where subsides make sense; and not just because they are easier to pass into law than pricing mechanisms.
Solar geoengineering, for example, does nothing to ameliorate oceanacidification, which occurs when the ocean absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The potential effects of solar radiation management are so large and wide-ranging as to implicate almost every aspect of life on the planet.
These include climate change, biosphere integrity (functional and generic), land-system change, freshwater use, biogeochemical flows (nitrogen and phosphorus), oceanacidification, atmospheric aerosol pollution, stratospheric ozone depletion, and the release of novel chemicals. For a year and a half, Ken worked to shut down all U.S.
Building cases on laws she wrote into the statute books 30 years ago, Melinda Janki is deploying every conceivable legal strategy in her bid to halt ExxonMobil’s fast-growing oil drilling operations off the coast of Guyana. The motivation behind all of these cases is that if people come to Guyana, then they have to obey national law.
A president can make some headway through executive orders, but only legislators can enshrine presidential priorities in law. Warren’s plan also recognizes that ocean conservation is a global endeavor, with two-thirds of ocean waters outside national jurisdiction.
The Chugach Regional Resources Commission, an organization made up of seven Indigenous governments in south-central Alaska, is leading several projects aimed at helping coastal communities adapt to the changing ocean. Climate pressures like oceanacidification have made it harder for the mollusks to build and maintain shells.
This morning I had an excellent conversation with a lawyer with a maritime environmental non-governmental organization, Stephanie Hewson at the West Coast Environmental Law Association. continued] The post UN Agreements On Oceanic Geoengineering Don’t Cover Dominant Land-Based Systems appeared first on CleanTechnica.
