China Pledges Cap Carbon Emissions: Obama's Bilateral Talks Succeeded
2014-06-03 09:24:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Daily Kos: The Pacific ocean is warming rapidly. This is apparently the early stage of a developing El Nino which will likely lead to record global warmth in the next 2 years. The day after President Obama announced his plan to cut carbon emissions from U.S. power plants 30% from 2005 levels, China's climate chairman has announced that, for the first time, China will place an absolute cap on carbon emissions. In tandem, these announcements are critical to stopping runaway climate warming because China and the...
China effort to store carbon dioxide costly, but attempt must be made

Seattle Times: Finding a way to corral and store carbon dioxide emissions, rather than vent those into the atmosphere, is considered among the most important strategies for limiting coal's contribution to climate change. Yet that technology is expensive, and requires substantial amounts of additional energy to separate, compress and pump carbon to storage sites. The United States and the European Union nations have been slow to move forward with large-scale carbon capture. So has China, where development...
China carbon cash party over as U.N. credit stream dries up

Reuters: Revenues for China's biggest sellers of U.N.-issued carbon credits shrunk last year to a tenth of 2012 values, choking off billions of dollars flowing to clean energy projects in the world's top carbon-emitter. China will now have less money to put into a stepped-up campaign to cut greenhouse gas emissions, clean its air and raise the share of fossil-free energy in its total mix to 15 percent by the end of the decade, from a current 8 percent. The U.N.'s Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) is...
China tells firms to start reporting carbon emissions

Reuters: Thousands of companies across China must start reporting their greenhouse gas emissions under a government plan to build a nationwide emissions database ahead of launching a national carbon market. The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), China's top economic planning agency, said in a note on its website that all companies that emitted more than 13,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) in 2010 must report their future annual emissions of all six major greenhouse gases. "The...
