Japan prefers coal over renewables for post-Fukushima energy mix
2014-04-15 12:43:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: Japans Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has approved a new energy plan that promotes coal as a cheap, stable, long-term and efficient energy source, along with nuclear power, while failing to set adequate renewable energy targets. Shortly after the UN warned that the world must dramatically reduce the use of fossil fuels and increase investment in clean energy in order to tackle climate change, the Japanese government has given the green light to a new energy plan that would give a prominent role to...
Greg Barker: UK renewables extremely attractive for investors
2014-04-14 12:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: Britain is an extremely attractive place for investment in renewable energy, the energy minister Greg Barker has said. Speaking ahead of the release of the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Changes (IPCC) latest report, which looks at the mitigation of climate change, he noted how the UK was consistently ranked among the best countries for investing in renewables. A recent ongoing study from consultancy firm EY placed the UK fifth in the world in this respect though this was one place...

Renewables, nuclear must triple to save climate, UN says
2014-04-13 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Bloomberg: The world needs to triple the energy it gets from renewables, nuclear reactors and power plants that use emissions-capture technology to avoid dangerous levels of global warming, United Nations scientists said. Investments needed to keep climate change within safe limits would shave a fraction of a percent off annual global growth, the UN said today in the third part of its most comprehensive study on warming. A delay in stemming rising greenhouse gases will cut chances to limit the global temperature...
UN Urges Governments To Triple Use of Renewables or Face Climate Catastrophe
2014-04-13 13:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
IB Times: The use of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power will have to be tripled to avoid a potentially devastating 4C-5C rise in global temperatures, the UN has warned. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report, to be released in Berlin today, will claim that global greenhouse gas emissions over the past decade were the "highest in human history". In order to prevent temperatures rising by more than 2C, global greenhouse gas levels will have to be slashed by up to...

Investments in renewables must increase, warns UN
2014-04-13 12:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: Trillion-dollar shifts in investments are needed to scale up the use of renewable energy sources if runaway climate change is to be prevented, a UN report has warned. Published today after a week of deliberations in Berlin, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Changes (IPCC) new report attempts to explain how global warming can be limited to 2C from pre-industrial levels the point above which scientists fear a number of climate tipping points will be crossed. Without mitigation, scientists...
