Antarctic carbon dioxide reaches highest levels in 4 million years
2016-06-18 06:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Monitor: Antarctica recently witnessed an event that last took place four million years ago: Carbon dioxide levels broke through the barrier of 400 parts per million (ppm). In fact, the frozen continent is a laggard in this respect. The announcement Wednesday by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) gave the date of this milestone as May 23. But the global annual mean concentration of carbon dioxide already surpassed 400 ppm last year, the first time that has happened in human history....

ClimateWire: Lawmakers working to extend California's landmark carbon cap have some hard decisions before them. Proponents of cementing the state's carbon targets into law through 2030 may have to concede parts of their program to opponents or leave their plans open to legal challenge, thanks to a combination of restrictive tax laws and problems with the market. Backers of S.B. 32, the bill that would reauthorize California's carbon programs, have not resolved whether the extension of cap and trade -- the...

The Paris climate agreement needs coordinated carbon prices to be successful
2016-06-14 10:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Conversation: The Paris climate agreement was an important success for climate diplomacy as nation states showed a strong will to cooperate on climate action. But instead of imposing binding national emission targets, the Paris Agreement is based on voluntary country commitments (known as Intended Nationally Determined Contributions- INDCs). This poses some challenges. First, the INDCs proposed so far are not enough to limit warming to well below 2?, aiming for 1.5?, as agreed in Paris. The INDCs shift a...
