The right balance on climate change and clean energy - OregonLive.com

The right balance on climate change and clean energy - OregonLive.com: "leading proponents in the Oregon Senate for Senate Bill 80, we were pleased to see The Oregonian's editorial board offer support for many of the changes we've proposed to the governor's cap-and-trade approach. The revised bill strikes the right balance in charting a clear path for reducing our global-warming pollution in a safe, predictable way that would protect existing industries and drive the growth of green jobs and businesses.

Unlike a hard cap on emissions, SB 80 would adopt a planning process for state agencies to help Oregon meet the scientifically based reduction goals set by the Legislature in 2007. The different sectors of the economy would be given flexibility to identify the most cost-effective and efficient ways to implement the goals without severe economic consequences."

Is methane really worse for the environment than carbon dioxide? - By Brendan I. Koerner - Slate Magazine

Is methane really worse for the environment than carbon dioxide? - By Brendan I. Koerner - Slate Magazine: "Yet methane deserves more attention than it's received so far because, as you note, it's arguably more deleterious to the environment than the widely feared CO2. The Environmental Protection Agency uses a statistic called Global Warming Potential (GWP) to assess the threat posed by various greenhouse gases. GWP measures how much heat one molecule of a gas will trap relative to a molecule of carbon dioxide. Methane has a GWP of 21, which means it's 21 times more effective at preventing infrared radiation from escaping the planet. So, although methane emissions may be relatively piddling, they're definitely a cause for concern. (Their one saving grace is an atmospheric lifetime of just 12 years, versus between 50 and 200 years for carbon dioxide.)"
