Carbon trading: ETS, RIP?
2013-04-19 15:28:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Economist: THE worlds largest carbon market has been holed below the water line. On April 16th the European Parliament voted to reject an attempt to bolster Europes flagship environmental programme, the Emissions Trading System (ETS). Carbon prices, already low, plunged. The emerging network of global carbon trading and European climate policy as a whole could sink. The ETS has long been a mess.

The IEA uses a complex calculation called...

Can Nutrient Trading Shrink the Gulf of Mexico's Dead Zone?
2013-04-17 16:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
World Resources Institute: The Gulf of Mexico has the largest dead zone in the United States and the second-largest in the world. Dead zones form when excessive amounts of nitrogen and phosphorous wash into waterways and spur algal blooms, depleting the water of oxygen and killing fish, shrimp, and other marine life. The Gulf of Mexico dead zone can range between an astounding 3,000 and 8,000 square miles. At its largest, its about the size of Massachusetts. Reducing this growing dead zone problem is a huge scientific,...
