Reducing Passenger Vehicle GHG Emissions Tom Cackette California Air Resources Board SEI Roundtable Next Steps Post-Kyoto: U.S. Options Session 1: Where Are We Now?
Climate Change in CAPast 100 Years • Higher temperature (0.7 °F) • Sea level rise (3-8 inches) • Spring run-off decrease (12%) 1984 2002
Climate Change in CANext 100 Years • Temperature increase 7 to 10 oF • Heat stress related deaths • Sea level rise 11 to 16 inches • Property damage • Saltwater contamination of fresh water supply • Sierra snow pack reduced 73 to 89 percent • Winter/spring flooding • Not enough irrigation water in summer
Pavley Bill • Signed by Governor - 2002 • Requires reduction of greenhouse gas emissions • New passenger vehicles sold in California • 2009+ models • Maximum feasible reduction • Cost beneficial to consumer
Clear Public Support “What about the state law that requires all automakers to further reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases from new cars in California by 2009? Do you support or oppose this law?” • 2004: 81% support • 2003: 80% support • 2002: 81% support
