South China Morning Post: Japan said yesterday it would slash its greenhouse gas emissions by 26 per cent by 2030 from 2013 levels and would submit the plan to the United Nations as its contribution to a global summit on climate change in Paris in November. The target is based on the power generation plan for 2030 that the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry finalised on Thursday. The plan calls for relying slightly less on nuclear power than on renewable energy following the 2011 Fukushima disaster. Using 2013 as...

Greenhouse gas emissions remain primary threat to polar bears
2015-07-03 17:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Greenhouse gas emissions remain the primary threat to the preservation of polar bear populations worldwide. This conclusion holds true under both a reduced greenhouse gas emission scenario that stabilizes climate warming and another scenario where emissions and warming continue at the current pace, according to updated U.S. Geological Survey research models. Under both scenarios, the outcome for the worldwide polar bear population will very likely worsen over time through the end of the century....
