CARB: Clean-Diesel Regs Slash ‘Global Warming’ Emissions

摘要

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) released a new study on June 13 showing that its clean-diesel regulations have slashed “black-carbon” emissions, which have been blamed as contributing to “global warming.” The study, funded by the CARB and led by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California-San Diego, found that reductions in black carbon as a result of clean-diesel regulations are “equivalent to reducing carbon-dioxide emissions in California by 21 million metric tons annually or taking more than 4 million cars off California roads every year,” according to the agency.
