Scientific American: There are many uncertainties with respect to global climate change, but there is one thing about which I have no doubts: we will not solve climate change by running out of fossil fuels. Understanding this leads to three posible pathways we can follow to lower greenhouse gas concentrations, and explains why I've chosen to focus my research on carbon capture and storage. We can: continue to burn fossil fuels with little or no restrictions. We will blow by atmospheric CO2 concentrations of 450...

Mexicansa preference for U.S. used cars sparks fight over patriotism, global warming

Those two traffic flows have set off a battle in Mexico that has spiraled into a fight over patriotism and global warming, with arguments laden with phrases like "junkyard cars" and "garbage vehicles." At issue is that despite Mexico's powerful and surging auto industry, the domestic market for new cars is surprisingly weak.

Yale Environment 360: Within a decade, the earth and particularly the northern hemisphere will begin warming at rates unprecedented in the last 1,000 to 2,000 years, according to new research in the journal Nature Climate Change. Examining the rate of temperature increases in 40-year intervals over the past 2,000 years, the scientists concluded that temperatures had fluctuated up or down by about 0.2 degrees F over each interval. In the past 40 years, however, warming has approached 0.4 degrees F per decade. And beginning...

China's War on Air Pollution May Cause More Global Warming
2015-03-09 01:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ClimateWire: China's efforts to improve urban air quality are often viewed as a helper for fighting climate change, but a new joint China-U.S. study says otherwise. The study--carried out by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Tsinghua University in Beijing--was released last week. It shows that China's strategies for cleaning up air do not necessarily lead to carbon dioxide emissions reductions. Sometimes, according to the study, the efforts could actually increase emissions. The...
