Download or read book Between Earth and Sky written by Seth Cagin and published by Pantheon. This book was released on 1993 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the 1950s CFCs had found further applications: as propellants in aerosol spray cans, in the manufacture of Styrofoam, and as vital industrial solvents. Then, in 1974, after millions of tons of CFCs had been released into the Earth's atmosphere, two scientists at the University of California demonstrated that these same "safe" wonder substances had altered the fundamental chemistry of the atmosphere and had begun to erode the ozone layer - the protective shield of all life on earth. The battle to restrict CFCs was fought in laboratories, at international conferences, and in the halls of Congress, pitting environmentalists intent on remedying what had become a global crisis against industrialists and government officials opposed to regulation. Finally, in 1987, fifty-seven nations signed the first global environmental treaty - the Montreal Protocol, which regulated the further production of CFCs and ushered in a new era of international cooperation on the environment.

Download or read book Policy Implications of Greenhouse Warming written by National Academy of Engineering and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1992-02-01 with total page 945 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global warming continues to gain importance on the international agenda and calls for action are heightening. Yet, there is still controversy over what must be done and what is needed to proceed. Policy Implications of Greenhouse Warming describes the information necessary to make decisions about global warming resulting from atmospheric releases of radiatively active trace gases. The conclusions and recommendations include some unexpected results. The distinguished authoring committee provides specific advice for U.S. policy and addresses the need for an international response to potential greenhouse warming. It offers a realistic view of gaps in the scientific understanding of greenhouse warming and how much effort and expense might be required to produce definitive answers. The book presents methods for assessing options to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, offset emissions, and assist humans and unmanaged systems of plants and animals to adjust to the consequences of global warming.
Download or read book The Economics of Managing Chlorofluorocarbons written by John H. Cumberland and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-22 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chlorofluorocarbons are known to be effective spray can propellants, solvents and refrigerators and were often used in deodorants, refrigerators and other goods. However, it was not known at the beginning of their use, the complex reaction that CFCs have on the earth’s climate. Originally published in 1982, this report explores early research into the effect that CFCs have on the environment and provides guidance on how this emerging issue should be dealt with. This title will be of interest to students of Environmental Studies.

Download or read book Economic Implications of Regulating Chlorofluorocarbon Emissions from Nonaerosol Applications written by Adele R. Palmer and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study examines and compares the outcomes of two alternate methods for controlling nonaerosol emissions of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). Conventional regulatory methods such as technology standards are compared with innovative methods of regulation such as use taxes or production quotas distributed through the use of marketable permits. The economic costs of each system are calculated and compared, along with a discussion of the policy issues which must be addressed when choosing one form of regulation over another.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An in-depth analysis of various aspects of CFC legislation This volume provides an in-depth analysis of various aspects of the topic “Concept and Implementation of CFC legislation”. The volume is divided into four parts. The first part comprises chapters discussing the historical background, policy considerations, and different CFC approaches that have been implemented in domestic legislation. While the chapters included in the second part focus on the recommendation for the effective design of CFC rules found in BEPS Action 3, the chapters encompassed in the third part analyse the implementation of these criteria in Articles 7 and 8 of the ATAD and the compatibility of these provisions with EU primary law. Finally, the chapters encompassed in part four deal with selected issues related to CFC rules, including the compatibility of CFC legislation and tax treaties, the relationship between these rules and general anti-abuse rules, the implications of the proposed CCCTB Directive on CFC rules, alternative approaches to CFC legislation (such as the Global Anti-Base Erosion proposal of the OECD/G20), the interrelationship between CFC rules and transfer pricing legislation, and the balance between effective CFC rules and compliance burdens.
