The Convention was adopted in 1992 and came into force in 1994. Kyoto Protocol A protocol to the UNFCCC. It sets out legally binding emissions targets for developed countries to reduce their collective greenhouse gas emissions by 5.2% to 1990 levels over a five year period 2008-2012. Marrakesh Accords A rule book developed by the Conference of Parties 7 (COP 7) 2001 for the implementation of the Kyoto Protocol.

Laws and Measures adopted by the European Community Communication from the Commission to the Council and the European Parliament on EU policies and measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions: towards a European Climate Change Programme (ECCP) COM/2000/0088 final Provides for the setting up an inter-departmental body tasked with identifying and preparing the implementation of measures to combat climate change. Communication from the Commission, of 10 January 2007, entitled: "Limiting Global Climate Change to 2 degrees Celsius - The way ahead for 2020 and beyond" [COM(2007) 2 final] Sets out the EC strategy on climate change: the way ahead for 2020 and beyond.

Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 2003 Establishes a system for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Community and amends Council Directive 96/61/EC Directive 2004/101/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 October 2004 amending Directive 2003/87/EC Establishes a scheme for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Community, in respect of the Kyoto Protocol's project mechanisms Directive 2009/28/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources Replaces previous renewables and biofuels directives, and requires member states to share the task of achieving the EUâs 20 percent renewables target by 2020. Directive 2009/29/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 amending Directive 2003/87/EC Revises and extends the greenhouse gas emissions trading system for Phase III which will run from 2013 to 2020 Directive 2009/31/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 on the geological storage of carbon dioxide Regulates carbon capture and storage Commission Regulation (EC) No 2216/2004 Provides a standardised and secured system of registries pursuant to Directive 2003/87/EC and Decision 280/2004/EC, as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 916/2007 (consolidated version) Commission Regulation (EC) No 994/2008 of 8 October 2008 Provides a standardised and secured system of registries pursuant to Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Decision 280/2004/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council UK National Laws Climate Change Act 2008 Sets out national measures to tackle climate change including targets for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by the year 2050. Climate Change (Scotland) Act 2009 Sets out long term and interim measures for Scotland in addressing climate change, including aspects on greenhouse gas emissions and energy efficiency. CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme Order 2010 Establishes the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme, a new emissions trading scheme. The Climate Change Levy (General) (Amendment) Regulations 2007 Amends the 2001 Climate Change Levy (General) Regulations. Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Scheme (Amendment) Regulations 2007 Amends the Greenhouse Gas Trading Scheme Regulations 2005 The Finance Act 2006 (Climate Change Levy: Amendments and Transitional Savings in Consequence of Abolition of Half-rate Supplies) (Appointed Day) Order 2007 Amends the Finance Act 2000 Schedule 6 in relation to climate change levyâs half-rate supplies which were abolished as of 1st April 2006.

Climate Change Adaptation Strategies 2008- 2011 The Environment Agency's action plans for adapting to climate change across all policy areas here's the link http://www.environmentlaw.org.uk/rte.asp?id=54 Our legal commitment in 2008 is to reduce our CO2 output to 1/5 what it was in 1990 by 2050 (it's in that list as Climate Change Act 2008 and only 3 MP's voted against it's introduction - there are currently 649 MP's) If it's minus 12C outside your door what are the chances? What are the chances you are more likely to freeze if Power Companies face the expenses outlined above and need to pass that cost on to their consumers? ?

Three More Decades of a Cooling Planet
----------------------------------------Note: the latest Arctic Blast is setting low temperature records across the Pacific Northwest. The findings below indicate that we better get used to it. http://westinstenv.org/sosf/2010/11/23/three-more-decades-of-a-cooling-planet/

More temperature series fiddling
----------------------------------------http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-11-26/worl...-office-adjusts-data.html While the Met Office says this http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-11841368 Reality gives us this http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-11859868 tonight's lowest NOAA recorded temp in the UK has just bounced on Minus 12C The NH Winter Months.... December, January and February Now about this here CO2 causing an ever increasing spiral of Global Temperature................ Changes in the Sun and our great big hot water bottle called the Oceans just might have something to do with it. Throw in changes in Cloud cover and I think that mostly covers it I notice that North Polar Sea Ice is back bigger than the USA again Wrap up Warm Folks Night Dave ![]() |

As if just to prove the point how foolish we Europeans can be I give you.... Not many environmentalists think that bio fuels are the way forward. When they replace food crops they cause increases in food prices and food shortage problems. When burnt they release more Carbon, though mainly because the existing technologies were designed to generate energy from oil rather than bio-fuels.http://af.reuters.com/article/energyOilNews/idAFLDE6A317F20101107?sp=true In the name of the RTFO (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renewable_Transport_Fuel_Obligation) |
