Global Warming on Free Republic here, here and here

Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Friday that he will impose mandates on the commercial real estate sector to achieve dramatic greenhouse gas emissions among the city's building stock — by far the city's biggest contributor to global warming.
In an announcement tied to Earth Day, the mayor's office said the requirements, along with city programs and incentives, would help kickstart the mayor's goal of cutting building emissions dramatically over the next 35 years.
The mandates are a significant development for the city's real estate world. When de Blasio announced a plan two years ago to cut building emissions, he threatened mandates if private developers did not act quickly enough. After more than a year of meetings with a technical working group, the group submitted a report recommending the mandates.
“Cities that lead on climate, lead on buildings,” de Blasio said in a statement. “We’ve set bold goals as we take on climate change and a clear path to meet them. The City has been leading the way by greening our own public facilities. Now, these new initiatives will dramatically reduce emissions from New York City’s over one million buildings, while saving New Yorkers millions and creating thousands of new jobs – and we’ll be providing owners support throughout the process.”
The mayor is expected to address the announcement Friday during remarks a United Nations luncheon commemorating the signing of the Paris accord.
Among the measures announced Friday, the mayor's office will push new energy codes that will require buildings to complete cost-effective energy conservation measures; require large and mid-size building owners to repair and improve heating distribution systems within the next 10 years; require large and mid-size building owners to assess energy retrofit strategies as part of their required energy audit; and improve efficiency and information transparency in mid-sized buildings and non-residential spaces.
The city estimates the measures will reduce greenhouse gas emissions from buildings by 2.7 million metric tons — the equivalent of taking more than 560,000 cars off the road. The mandates are also expected to save building owners approximately $900 million in energy costs each year and create an estimated 1,300 direct construction-related jobs, the mayor's office said.
The move drew immediate praise form policymakers, including EPA Region II administrator Judith Enck.
“Policies that promote energy efficiency in buildings are extremely effective in driving down greenhouse gas emissions and other air pollutants. This outstanding report positions the City of New York to be a national leader in energy efficiency,” Enck said in a statement. “These policies are good for the environment, will create new jobs and reduce monthly utility bills for tenants and homeowners alike.”

Is this guy a king?
Professional torches will probably do well too.
We recently replaced all our windows and sliding doors in our home. Had put it off for years because it was so expensive. The tracks on a bunch of them finally fell apart so we had to do it. $9500. And that is for just 1 house.
None of this green energy crap is cheap.
Insurance companies will lose, and then insurance rates will go up for the remaining commercial businesses in New York.
Why don’t I believe their figures?
OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

could there be many insurance money fires in the near future in NYC?
de Blasio also gets to pimp Trump and his real estate empire in NYC as a side effect. A twofer. However, when as President, Trump will then get to pimp de Blasio back big-time, in a myriad of little ways. And Trump has a long memory for revenge.
Hail comrade citizen, let me introduce you to the
new comrade citizen and his family who will now be
sharing this formerly capitalist apartment with you.

“The mandates are also expected to save building owners approximately $900 million in energy costs each year...”
I’m sure that’s an inflated figure. And nowhere does it mention the cost.
Is De Blasio descended from Caligula or Nero?
Or some other insane Emperor?
But they voted for Comrade Mayor and now is the time to reap the rewards.
Under rent control landlords can’t even cover the wear & tear of the tenants, especially those with rent paid by the gubmint...
Bill Campbell has been out a long time. He was in for a little over 2 years from 2006-2008.
Now the big corruption now is from the surrounding counties. For example Burrell Ellis, the former DeKalb CEO, got some jail and a bunch of probation for pay to play/extortion of county contractors and perjury.
Mayor Putz(as an NY Post columnist calls him.) is very soon to be doing the perp walk. His administration is being investigated by the Feds for ‘’campaign finance irregularities’’ and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
PLEASE STOP POSTING THAT!!!!! SO FRIGGEN SICK OF IT!!! WE GET IT, OK>
You’re sick of my post? I’m sick of de Blasio and the rest of the crooks in power who are regulating our lives, based on an absolute lie!
Look what they did to coal-mining families! You should be outraged and typing capital letters about miners’ incomes be taken away from them because of a lie.
When the crooks in power stop lying about man-made climate change, I will stop posting proof of their lie.
