U.S. biofuel mandate cuts would raise carbon pollution: lawmakers
2014-10-09 19:35:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: The Obama administration's proposed cuts to U.S. biofuel use targets could undermine the White House's plan to tackle climate change, according to two Democrats on the Senate committee that oversees the renewable fuel mandate. The Environmental Protection Agency's plan, slashing requirements for blending ethanol and biodiesel into U.S. fuel supplies in 2014, would lead to increased oil use and carbon emissions, Senators Barbara Boxer and Edward Markey said in a letter sent to White House late...

California Moves to Revoke Carbon Credits After Inquiry
2014-10-09 01:19:37| Waste Management - Topix.net
California, operator of the nation's biggest carbon market, plans to revoke offset credits issued to EOS Climate Inc. and Environmental Credit Corp. for ozone-depleting substances destroyed at a plant in violation of its federal permit. The companies operated projects that delivered refrigerants, proven to destroy the earth's ozone layer, to a Clean Harbors Inc. complex in El Dorado, Arkansas , for disposal.

Carbon Capture Begins at First Full-Sized, Coal-Fired Power Plant
2014-10-07 18:32:04| Food - Topix.net
On October 2, the Boundary Dam power plant in Saskatchewan became the first full-sized coal-fired boiler to capture the copious carbon dioxide that had previously billowed from its smokestack, preventing the greenhouse gas from entering the atmosphere. On the resulting invisible stream of hot smoke ride the hopes of combating climate change while still burning fossil fuels.

Due to landscape fragmentation, Brazil's rainforests are releasing more carbon dioxide
2014-10-07 17:46:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Because of the deforestation of tropical rainforests in Brazil, significantly more carbon has been lost than was previously assumed. As scientists of the Hemholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ) write in the scientific journal Nature Communications, the effect of the degradation has been underestimated in fragmented forest areas, since it was hitherto not possible to calculate the loss of the biomass at the forest edges and the higher emission of carbon dioxide. The UFZ scientists have now...
