WUWT
The EPA highlighted what the plan would achieve in their “By the Numbers” Fact Sheet that accompanied their big announcement.
For some reason, they left off their Fact Sheet how much climate change
would be averted by the plan. Seems like a strange omission since,
after all, without the threat of climate change, there would be no one
thinking about the forced abridgement of our primary source of power
production in the first place, and the Administration’s new emissions
restriction scheme wouldn’t even be a gleam in this or any other
president’s eye.
But no worries. What the EPA left out, we’ll fill in.
Using a simple, publically-available, climate model emulator called
MAGICC that was in part developed through support of the EPA, we ran the
numbers as to how much future temperature rise would be averted by a
complete adoption and adherence to the EPA’s new carbon dioxide
restrictions*.
The answer? Less than two one-hundredths of a degree Celsius by the year 2100.
0.018°C to be exact.
We’re not even sure how to put such a small number into practical
terms, because, basically, the number is so small as to be undetectable.
Which, no doubt, is why it’s not included in the EPA Fact Sheet."
