Prior to its incorporation, GCC was operated as an informal committee of trade associations and private companies. The committee testi?ed before the Energy and Natural Resources Committee of the United States Senate (May 12, 1992), the Health and the Environment Subcommittee of the Committee on Energy and Commerce of the United States House of Representatives (March 19, 1992), and provided written statements to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources of the United States Senate (October 28, 1993) and the Subcommittee on Energy and Power of the Committee on Energy and Commerce of the United States House of Representatives (November 16, 1993). GCC promotes scienti?c research on global climate change by sponsoring independent studies that examine the potential impacts of proposed global climate change policies on the United States economy. GCC also serves to educate the public and contribute to a balanced debate on global climate change issues by publishing newsletters and other educational materials, and sponsoring programs.

NW 0 SUITE 1500 NORTH TOWER 0 WASHINGTON, DC 200044703 The Global Climate Coalition An Overview What It Is: The Global Climate Coalition (GCC) is an organinu'on of business trade associations and private companies established in 1989 to coordinate business participation in the scienti?c and policy debate on the global climate change issue. GC is dedicated to: 1) promoting scienti?c research on global climate change, 2) analyzing economic and societal impacts of policy options, 3) creating an understanding of the global dimensions of the issue to ensure that solutions are addressed equitably by all nations, 4) encouraging transfer of technology to developing nations, and 5) promoting a voluntary commitment among members to "Guiding Principles for Business" that bene?t the environment, are consistent with good business practices and are technically and economically feasible. What it Does: GCC is the leading voice for industry on the global climate change issne, and represents its members before government agencies, Congress, the media and the general public. The group works cooperatively with govenunental agencies and others on an international basis. The coalition contributes to a balanced debate on global climate change by sponsoring independent studies that examine the potential impacts of proposed global climate change policies on the economy. Through educational materials and programs, GCC supports an informed press and public, and an open scienti?c dialogue. Where does GCC Stand? GCC agrees with the scienti?c presumption that there is a natural "greenhouse e?'ect" that protects Planet Earth from the ?owing rigors of space. In addition, GCC agrees that the amount of so- called greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere 'is increasing. It is an open question however, whether manmade contributions of greenhouse gases have contributed or ever will contribute to an "enhanced greenhouse which could result in a potentially harmful increase in global surface air temperatures. There is considerable uncertainty within the scienti?c community about fundamental questions relating to this issue. Predictions about anthropogenic global warming are based on computer models designed to simulate atmospheric chemistry. GCC agrees with a growing number of nun-II ATTACHMENT I scientists who point out that these climate models (which have been used to frame the debate) can neither con?rm that global warming is occun-ing now or predict future climate changes. While some minor climate changes have been suggested, it has yet to be determined whether these are the a result of natural forces (like solar ?ares), human activity, natiml long-term climate cycles or a combination of all of these factors. GCC supports a coordinated international research program, the continuation of US. climate research e??orts billion requested for FY 1993), in addition to independent and industry sponsored research. GCC also supports activities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that make sense in their own right, thus continuing sound business practices that will lead to more e?cient use of energy. GCC believes there are trade-o??s associated with many of the regulatory schemes to control greenhouse gas emissions. Some ofthesc proposals would impose a direct tax on businesses and consumers through energy or environmental fees while other proposals would impose a hidden tax through other indirect, control measures. These trade-oil?s would include higher energy and product costs to American consumers, higher Operating costs for industry and a potential negative impact on employment. importantly, many of these proposals would create a competitive advantage for our international trading partners at the expense of U5. jobs and economic growth. Who are GCC Members? "me current membership of GCC is a broad cross-section of U.S. business organizations and companies representing a range of industrial sectors, including: oil, coal, paper, automobile manufacmring, railroads, chemical manufacturing and utilities. How is GCC Structured? The GCC Board of Directors serves as the organimtion's governing body. The Operating Committee oversees the ?mctional implementation of GCC activities, and John Shlaes, Executive Director, has oversight of day-to-day operations. To address speci?c aspects of the global climate change issue and to evaluate policy options, GCC utilizes twelve committees, including Science and Technology, Technology Cooperation, Ecommic ?nalysis, Industry Initiatives, and International, to name a few.

Volume ?2 Issue 6 SCIENTISTS TESTIFY ON NEED TO IMPROVE CLIMATE MODELS llmate experts recently told the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee that current predictions of catastroph? ic global warming are unreliable. According to the scientists, enormous uncertainties still cloud the scientific community's understanding of climate change, making accurate forecasts of future warming impossible. ?lithe claim that significant warming is ?likely? represents a virtual breakdown of scien- tific ethics and principles.? NW Massachusetts Institute of Technology meteorology professor Dr. Richard Lindzen told the committee that warming predictions are based on a number oi large assumptions about climate that cannot be justified scientifi? cally. Lindzen said, ?The point simply is the popular arguments are largely irrele- vant and wrong. The basis of concern is model predictions, and the model pre- dictions in fact depend on a number of which we are virtually uncertain." "Thus far, we have been unable to simulate past climate variations with our models," Lindzen continued. "Under normal scientific circumstances, without political and environmental pressure, this would be considered a basic problem. But, it has been the [climate] observations are broadly consistent with the model predictions, given the natural variability of the climate.?

Unfortunately, it still isn?t clear whether that step is entirely in the right direction. The issue is "joint implementation," a phrase born in the Framework Convention on Climate Change signed at the Rio Earth Summit and included in the administration?s Climate Change Action Plan. Simply stated, joint imple- mentation Ul) is a concept that would recognize a given party for actions taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in another country. This could include everything from providing more efficient technology to planting forests.

On June 1, the State Department published in the COOLING TREND MORE PRONOUNCED THAN PREVIOUSLY REPORTED cientists at Marshall Space Flight Center and the University of Alabama at Huntsville (UAH) say global composite temperatures have decreased much more during the past decade than was previously thought. "The temperature recorded for =ome of the most recent months changed by as much as 0.1 degrees Celsius. The 10- year trend was also affected," according to UAH scientist Dr. John Christy. "Through March, the decadal trend was -0.26 degrees Celsius before the correction and -0.56 degrees Celsius after the co. rection.?

Industry is concerned with how this term will ultimately be defined and thinks that an overly stringent application of the crite- ria would make viable projects difficult. Few firms would be able undertake joint implementation projects solely on the basis of reducing greenhouse gas emis- sions, although this consideration could be sufficient to tilt the balance in favor of an otherwise marginal economic venture. Projects that achieve emissions reductions should be provided appropriate recogni- tion regardless of the motivation for making the investment. in so mmary, overly strict interpretation of ?additionalqu could substantially limit U.S. industry participa- tion in joint implementation projecrs under U.S. business and industry can con- tribute to and benefit from participation in it projects. Such efforts will help identify new markets and strong overseas partners, promote the exchange of technology and valuable information, reduce costs, bring sound rates of return on investments, and offer opportunities to diversify and obtain other commercial benefits. Joint imple- mentation should be defined so as to encourage collabo. ative projects that make both economic sense and reduce green- house gas emissions. That is the spirit of the president?s Climate Change Action Plan, a spirit American industry can enthu- siastically support. 0 STATE DEPARTMENT ESTABLISHES GROUNDRUI ES FOR TECHNOLOGY COOPERATION What is the U5.

What were the key changes made in the guidelines? and other groups voiced concerns that evaluating projects based on "net emissions," as the originally proposed, could be interpreted as requiring submitters to onal emissions from all projects.

Required by the 1992 Energy Policy Act, the guidelines have been cited by many industries as the key to their continued voluntary efforts in support of President Clinton?s Climate Change Action Plan. The proposed guidelines, published by the Department of Energy on lune 1, outline rules for the voluntary reporting of reductions of carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, methane and halogenated carbon substances. The guidelines establish the framework for the forms to be developed by the Energy Information Administration for the voluntary reporting of greenhouse gases. 1 To encourage broad participation and small-scale initiatives, the DOE proposes to allow any U.S. citietm 0r resident alien, incorporated group or government entity to report its reduc- tion or sequestration efforts as 'ong as it can "define a project and report physical data in enough derail to quan- tify results of the activity." Similarly, DOE is not pmposing a minimum reporting threshold and is suggesting that third parties, such as trade associa- tions, be able to report aggregat' data from the reduction or sequestration efforts of multiple entities. DOE also is broadening its criteria for eligible projects, so that participation in the Climate Challenge program will not be limited to projects that result in net greenhouse gas emission reduc- tions.

The team processes the data to determine 10-year and seasonal trends. For the most part, the team. has found a slight cooling trend in global composite tem- peratures for each month. One of the NOAA satellites drifted in its orbit, affecting the team?s analyses. When it was launched, the NCAA-11's orbit carried it over the equator at 1 :30 pm and 1:30 local standard time. Due to orbital drift, it now crosses the equator at 4:30 pm and 4:30 am. "We were observing the Earth at a warmer time of day than when the satel- lite was launched,? UAH scientist Dr. John Christy explains. "Fortunately, we had two other satellites in orbit to compare against NCAA-11. We have corrected the data to compensate for the orbital shift.? Although average global temperatures in April warmed the global composite temperature remained 0.95 degrees Celsius below the 10-year average for the month.

Scientists Continued from page "This is a profoundly dishonest state- ment," said Lindzen, "since it would be equally true if the models predicted no warming or even some cooling over the past the circumstances, the claim that significant warming is ?likely' represents a virtual breakdown of scientific ethics and principles.? Dr. Jerry Mahlman, director of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration?s Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory, told the commit- tee, "lMJodels have improved in their ability to simulate the current climate. reinfortunately substantial uncertainties remain due to deficiencies in our scien- tific understanding and in our computer power.? Dr. Robert Watson of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy said, "It is quite evident that there are signi?cant scienti?c uncertainties. There is no question about that." The question for policy makers, he suggested, is how risk averse do they want to be?" In further testimony, Dr. Sallie Baliunas, an astrophysicist with the Harvard? Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, challenged the assumption that green- house gas emissions are responsible for climate change. Dr. Baliunas showed that changes in greenhouse gas emissions do not correlate with observed changes in global temperatures over the last century. Instead, her data link climate I I Changes to golar activity. correlation between solar activity and climate.? "If not caused by the buildup of green- house gases, then what changed the Earth?s climate? There is evidence the sun does,? Baliunas said, referring to a chart (reproduced below) that compares changes in the sun's 11-year activity cycle measured by the cycle length with the Earth's temperature record. . ?The close agreement doesn?t prove I there is a causal connection,? said Baliunas, ?but [it] certainly suggests it.?

Through the plan, NCA will encour- age industry participation in several Climate Change Action Plan programs including the Motor Challenge {of which NCA is a signatory member) Climate Wise and Green Lights and will report results to DOE. NCA also is working with states, federal agencies and other organizations to develop reclamation projects that encourage reforestation as a post-mining land use. Among the most ambitious of projects is the Coalbed Methane Outreach Program, a partnership with EPA aimed at slashing emissions of methane, a greenhouse gas that traps heat 20 times more effectively than carbon dioxide. The program targets 75 mines for cost-effective methane recov- ery efforts.

However, energy intensity (the amount of energy consumed per dollar of output) will decline at an average annual rate of 1 percent through 2010. Continued energy savings are expected in response to energy-efficiency standards mandated by the 1992 Energy Policy Act, fuel price increases and continuing changes in the output mix of U5. industry.

The Coalition believes that science must serve as the foundation for policy. The Coalition seeks to ensure that any policy is based on sound scientific knowledge and sound economic analysis. Scienti?c evidence does not support economically detrimental actions aimed solely at reducing or stabilizing greenhouse gas emissions. Industry should seek to work with scientists, policymakers and others to assure that programs for research provide meaningful scienti?c and economic analysis so that potential policy responses are cost effective. 2. To achieve these objectives and advocate the interests of American business, the Coalition?s purposes shall be: 0 To inform its membership of signi?cant developments regarding global climate change science, economics and policy I To encourage scienti?c research 0 To monitor and review federal and significant state legislation and regulations, and international actions, affecting global climate 0 To participate in domestic and international forums II To provide objective economic analysis of proposed actions and critique the analysis of others 0 To support and provide public education 0 To seek informed and balanced press and media coverage 0 To generally contribute the full spectrum of business expertise to help address enhanced global climate change science and policy I To testify and advance business interests before the Executive Branch and Congress, and 0 To conduct or engage in all lawful activities in furtherance of the foregoing purposes, or incidental thereto. . h. -7- a- 3.
