2015-09-05 08:59:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nikkei: Negotiations are gaining momentum toward a new treaty that would set post-2050 targets for reducing global greenhouse gas emissions, giving individual nations more time to bring their own short- and medium-term goals up to speed.

But countries are far from agreement on specific emissions targets. France, host of the conference,...

Carbon Emissions From Power Plants Hit 27-Year Low
2015-08-28 21:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: As states begin the long task of reducing greenhouse gas emissions from electric power plants to comply with new federal climate policy, a 27-year low in carbon dioxide emissions earlier this year shows the U.S. may be heading toward meeting its emissions goals. U.S. power plants emitted less carbon dioxide -- 128 million metric tons -- in April than at any point in since April 1988, according to new U.S. Energy Information Administration data. That continues a long-term trend of declining...
