The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released the already widely-discussed (albeit without much detail) “Clean Power Plan” proposal, which mandates a national average 30% cut in greenhouse gas emissions from existing power plants from 2005 levels by 2030. EPA is only proposing goals for states with fossil fuel-fired power plants.

Since 2005, when major greenhouse-gas emitters among the Kyoto signatories were issued caps on their emissions and permitted to buy credits to meet those caps, there has been more than $300 billion worth of carbon transactions. Verification of the emission reduction or carbon sequestration is critical in efforts to mitigate climate change.

The ocean absorbs CO 2 from the atmosphere at a rate of more than 20 million tons per day, thus removing one-fourth of the anthropogenic CO 2 emitted to the atmosphere each year and reducing the climate-change impacts of this greenhouse gas. However, when CO 2 dissolves in seawater, it forms carbonic acid. Monaco Declaration.
