Carbon Emissions Need to Be Zero by 2100, UN Panel Warns
2014-11-02 15:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Ria Novosti: Carbon emissions need to be brought down to zero by 2100 if the optimal warming level is to be maintained, a new report published Sunday by the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated. To keep a good chance of staying below 2 degrees Celsius, and at manageable costs, our emissions should drop by 40 to 70 percent globally between 2010 and 2050, falling to zero or below by 2100, Rajendra Pachauri, Chair of the IPCC said in the Synthesis Report, adding that it was a window...

Despite California climate law, carbon emissions may be a shell game
2014-10-25 13:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LA Times: California's pioneering climate-change law has a long reach, but that doesn't mean all its mandates will help stave off global warming. To meet the requirement that it cut carbon emissions, for example, Southern California Edison recently sold its stake in one of the West's largest coal-fired power plants, located hundreds of miles out of state. But the Four Corners Generating Station in New Mexico still burns coal only the power that Edison once delivered to California now goes to a different...

Fracking boom will increase global carbon emissions, scientists warn
2014-10-16 12:58:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: A global fracking boom will not help prevent climate change, as cheap shale gas would displace cleaner renewable energy and actually increase carbon emissions, according to a new study. Because the burning of shale gas, extracted through the controversial process of fracking, releases around 50% less carbon than conventional fossil fuels such as coal, proponents have suggested it could act as a bridge fuel. While investment in renewables is scaled up to meet demand, shale gas could fill in...

Pakistan: Ways of cutting carbon emissions discussed
2014-10-04 00:25:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Dawn: Opportunities for reducing carbon emissions were discussed at a three-day training session which was organised by the climate change division of the government of Pakistan and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) here. The session focused on identifying opportunities for carbon financing in the transport sector. Carbon financing is a global mechanism which explores opportunities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which carry a price, if traded in the international market,...

US carbon emissions from energy use increase
2014-09-30 12:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
RTCC: US carbon dioxide emissions from energy consumption rose 3% in the first six months of 2014 compared to the same period last year. The latest figures from the US Energy Information Administration show energy sources belched out 2,737 million tonnes of carbon dioxide between January and June. That was up from 2,664Mt in the same period of 2013 and 2,583Mt in 2012. It is a reversal of the downward trend seen in the last full-year results available, from 2012. That reduction was attributed...
