IPCC: CO2 Emissions Soar, Yet Paths Avoid Calamity Open
2014-04-13 20:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environment News Service: Global greenhouse gases emissions grew more quickly between 2000 and 2010 than in any of the three previous decades, reaching record levels despite a growing number of policies to reduce climate change, finds a new report by economists with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, released today in Berlin. Still, it is possible, using a wide array of technological measures and changes in behavior, to limit the increase in global mean temperature to 2°C (3.6°F) above pre-industrial levels,...

Entire marine food chain at risk from rising CO2 levels in water

Guardian: Escalating carbon dioxide emissions will cause fish to lose their fear of predators, potentially damaging the entire marine food chain, joint Australian and US research has found. A study by the Australian Institute of Marine Science, James Cook University and the Georgia Institute of Technology found the behavior of fish would be seriously affected by greater exposure to CO2. Researchers studied the behavior of coral reef fish at naturally occurring CO2 vents in Milne Bay, in eastern Papua...

United Nations panel shows who's responsible for CO2 emissions
2014-04-13 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: The UN's expert panel on climate change is preparing a new report this weekend outlining the cuts in greenhouse gases, mainly CO2 from the burning of fossil fuels, required in coming decades to keep global warming in check. Since it's a scientific body, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (ICPCC) won't tell governments how to divide those emissions cuts -- a crunch issue in negotiations on a new climate pact that's supposed to be adopted next year. However, in leaked draft of the...

Act fast to curb global warming, or extract CO2 from air: UN
2014-04-13 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: A United Nations report said on Sunday that governments must act faster to slow global warming and delays until 2030 could force reliance on little-tested technologies to extract greenhouse gases from the air. The study, drawing on work by more than 1,000 experts, said a radical shift from conventional fossil fuels to low-carbon energy such as wind, solar or nuclear power would shave only about 0.06 percentage point a year off world economic growth. "It does not cost the world to save the planet,"...
