Christian Science Monitor: Sustainability is at the forefront of Anthony Myint and Karen Leibowitz's newest restaurant, The Perennial, which opened in San Francisco in January 2016. The Perennial's sustainability initiatives include a 2,000 square foot off-site aquaponic greenhouse, substantially smaller-than-usual meat portions, and wine served from the tap to reduce emissions from transportation from bottles.

2016-07-06 02:19:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Grist: A temporary halt to the federal governments plan to cut electric power plant emissions has caused carbon prices in the Northeasts only cap-and-trade program to plummet, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Carbon prices in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, or RGGI, have fallen 40 percent since the Supreme Courts decision in February to stay the Clean Power Plan -- from their peak at $7.50 per metric ton of carbon dioxide in December to $4.53 per ton in June. RGGI is Americas...

EcoWatch: When a handful of attorneys general launched investigations of ExxonMobil for climate fraud, I wonder if they had any idea that they would be attacked for attempting to stifle the companys right of free speech.

Norway bids to capture business by capturing carbon
2016-07-04 08:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Politico: A Norwegian prime minister once compared the difficulty of capturing carbon and storing it underground to a "moon landing." But just as the lunar program transformed the U.S. economy, this technology could do the same for Norway. Carbon capture and storage projects face long odds, struggling to show the technology can both work and be affordable. But the potential benefits of success could be huge, allowing the world to burn oil, coal and gas without unleashing runaway climate change. Greenhouse...
