Sequestration, science, and the law: an analysis of the sequestration component of the California and northeastern states' plans to curb global warming.

From: Environmental Law | Date: September 22, 2007| Author: | Copyright information

The impacts of global warming are extensive and disastrous. Efforts to curb global warming are in full swing around the world Although the U.S. federal government has yet to create a nationwide global warming prevention program, several states have started their own initiatives. Each initiative is anchored by the science surrounding global warming. In particular, each state-level program has a carbon sequestration element that is based upon current knowledge of how carbon is stored This Comment describes the three major methods for carbon sequestration and examines the sequestration ...
