Global Carbon Emissions Reach Record High
2014-09-21 19:08:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LiveScience: Concentrations of carbon dioxide will surge to a new high in the atmosphere in 2014, scientists announced today in advance of the U.N. Climate Summit in New York City. Global carbon dioxide emissions are projected to soar to 44 billion tons (40 billion metric tons) this year, a 2.5 percent increase from 2013 levels, according to joint studies published today (Sept. 21) in the journals Nature Climate Change and Nature Geoscience. The new estimates come from the Global Carbon Project, an international...

World carbon budget will be exhausted in a generation, scientists warn
2014-09-21 19:05:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BusinessGreen: Global CO2 emissions reached a record high of 36 billion tonnes in 2013, "eroding the chances" of keeping global warming within internationally recognised safe levels, scientists said today. The 2.3 per cent growth in emissions seen over 2013 is likely to be followed by a further 2.5 per cent rise during this year to 40 billion tonnes -- a level 65 per cent higher than in 1990, according to international research group the Global Carbon Project (GCP), which includes scientists from the universities...

China, US, India push world carbon emissions up
2014-09-21 17:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: Spurred chiefly by China, the United States and India, the world spewed far more carbon pollution into the air last year than ever before, scientists announced Sunday as world leaders gather to discuss how to reduce heat-trapping gases. The world pumped an estimated 39.8 billion tons (36.1 billion metric tons) of carbon dioxide into the air last year by burning coal, oil and gas. That is 778 million tons (706 metric tons) or 2.3 percent more than the previous year. "It's in the wrong direction,"...
Gov: Montana can cut carbon emissions without closing power plants
2014-09-20 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Missoulian: The Bullock administration Friday unveiled five options for how Montana can meet proposed federal rules to combat climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and none includes shutting down or curtailing existing coal-fired power plants. The options, in an analysis prepared by the state Department of Environmental Quality, include developing more renewable power, increasing the efficiency of existing coal-fired plants or capturing some carbon emissions from those plants. In a letter...
50 Dirtiest U.S. Power Plants Huge Contributor to Carbon Emissions
2014-09-18 18:56:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: U.S. power plants are an outsized contributor to the world`s carbon pollution, a new report released by Environment America Research & Policy Center and the Frontier Group says. It found that in 2012, they added more climate change-causing carbon to the environment than the entire economies of any nation other than China. The report, "America`s Dirtiest Power Plants: Polluter on a Global Scale," demonstrated that U.S. power plants produced more than six percent of worldwide global warming emissions....
