Greenhouse Gas Emissions Up 7.8% in Brazil in 2013
2014-11-20 06:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Herald Tribune: Greenhouse gas emissions in Brazil amounted to 1.5 million tons in 2013, up 7.8 percent from 2012 and the highest total since 2008, non-governmental organizations said in a report released on Wednesday. The study by the Climate Observatory mainly attributes the increase in emissions to Amazon deforestation, increased use of thermoelectric plants and greater fuel consumption. Emissions from deforestation accounted for 35 percent of the total, followed by those from the electricity and agricultural...

Japan, Indonesia launch greenhouse gas emission trade
2014-11-05 10:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Japan Times: The government has adopted a plan to offer Indonesia energy-saving technology in a trade for greenhouse-gas emission rights, the Environment Ministry said Tuesday. It is the first project under the so-called Bilateral Offset Credit Mechanism to come to fruition. The installation of a Japanese-made cooler at an Indonesian plant is expected to reduce carbon dioxide emissions there by 800 tons by 2020 and allow Tokyo to earn emission credits on 400 tons, the ministry said. The project has been...

UN scientific group: Eliminate greenhouse gas pollution by 2100
2014-11-02 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Politico: Global greenhouse gas emissions will need to drop to zero by the end of the century if governments hope to prevent massive and irreversible changes to the Earth's climate, a United Nations' scientific group warned on Sunday. The report from the Intergovermental Panel on Climate Change is latest and most dire warning yet that human activities, primarily the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas, are changing the Earth's climate far more quickly than would have occurred naturally....

Scientists prepare inexpensive, accurate regulatory tool track greenhouse gas concentrations
2014-11-01 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ClimateWire: A new technique using a pair of laser-based instruments could one day help scientists more accurately detect concentrations of the greenhouse gases considered responsible for climate change. Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration are refining a method using two frequency combs to indirectly measure the amount of carbon dioxide, methane and water vapor over a substantial distance. A single frequency comb...
