Massive fossil fuels cut is last chance to limit global warming, researchers say

EurActiv: While the worlds fossil fuel reserves are already limited, new research published in Nature magazine argues that these energy sources should already be out of commission, in order to salvage a 50% chance of stopping global warming. EurActiv Germany reports. According to the study, approximately 80% of current technically and economically recoverable coal, 50% of gas reserves, and 30% of oil reserves would have to remain untapped over the next 40 years to slow global warming. 21% of Europes oil...
Tropical forests may reduce global warming rate
2015-01-08 16:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environmental News Network: A new study led by NASA and the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) shows that tropical forests may be absorbing far more human-emitted carbon dioxide than many scientists thought. The study estimates that tropical forests absorb 1.4 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide out of a total global absorption of 2.5 billion, in response to rising atmospheric levels of the greenhouse gas. This means, if left undisturbed, the tropical trees should be able to continue reducing the rate of global...

2015-01-07 15:17:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: A new global climate deal expected to be agreed in Paris at the end of this year will not be ambitious enough to prevent dangerous temperature rises, energy secretary Ed Davey has warned. Mr Davey, who admitted it was quite likely he would no longer be energy and climate change secretary by the UN climate talks in December, said a legally-binding treaty can be agreed at the negotiations - and would be the best way to curb global warming. But he said he feared the talks in Paris would not...
