Blue and Green: The campaign group Friends of the Earth has said the world must stand up to the fossil fuels industry ahead of the launch of a new major report on climate science, released on Monday. A draft of the second report in a series of three from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was leaked to Reuters this week. It suggests, among other things, that by endorsing carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology, the world could remove the equivalent of Chinas carbon emissions from the...

Boston Globe: The use of wind, solar, and other renewable energy resources will increase significantly over the next few decades, but fossil fuels such as oil, coal, and natural gas likely will continue to dominate the energy mix and drive the global economy, said Daniel Yergin, one of the world's foremost energy experts. "It's a contest, or even a battleground,' Yergin said in an interview this week. "Renewables will grow a lot, but they will still be, 20 years from now, a relatively small part of the overall...

President Obama: Fossil Fuels Are Here to Stay, So Let's Clean Them Up

Hill: President Obama said he is putting a big priority on his carbon action plan in order to keep fossil fuels viable in a world that is battling climate change. In an interview with the New Yorker's David Remnick, Obama said "it's not feasible" to think that nations like China will stop building coal power plants. "And so if we can figure out a carbon-capture mechanism that is sufficiently advanced and works, then we are helping ourselves, because the Chinese and the Indians are going to build...
U.S. carbon emissions from fossil fuels rose in 2013 as coal use ticked up
2014-01-15 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
InsideClimate: When all the data is in, it looks like carbon dioxide emissions from the burning of fossil fuels will have gone up 2 percent in 2013 from the previous year, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) said on Monday. The main reason, it said, is an uptick in the use of coal for electric power. But it's also a sign of growing economic activity in general. Ever since the deep recession began in 2008, U.S. emissions of carbon dioxide had been going down. CO2 is the principal greenhouse gas that's causing...
