Global benefits from full implementation of the identified measures in 2030 compared to the reference scenario. Black carbon and tropospheric ozone are harmful air pollutants that also contribute to climate change. The climate change benefit is estimated for 2050 and human health and crop benefits are for 2030 and beyond.

The state will also direct manufacturers to increase zero-emission light-duty vehicle sales starting in 2027, with goals increasing each year during the five-year period. In the release, Colorado clarifies that it includes battery-electric, plug-in hybrid electric and fuel cell electric as what it refers to as zero-emission options.

OCTOBER 14, 2009

Current emissions of anthropogenic greenhouse gases (GHGs) have already committed the planet to an increase in average surface temperature by the end of the century that may be above the critical threshold for tipping elements of the climate system into abrupt change with potentially irreversible and unmanageable consequences, the authors write.

This is despite the fact that natural variation will partially offset the warming signal from greenhouse gas emissions. The growth in carbon dioxide emissions from energy and industry has exceeded even the most fossil-fuel intensive scenario developed by the IPCC at the end of the 1990s. Global emissions were growing by 1.1%
