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...
15 years of carbon dioxide emissions on Earth mapped

ScienceDaily: World leaders face multiple barriers in their efforts to reach agreement on greenhouse gas emission policies. And, according to Arizona State University researchers, without globally consistent, independent emissions assessments, climate agreements will remain burdened by errors, self-reporting, and the inability to verify emissions progress. Now, an international research team led by ASU scientists has developed a new approach to estimate CO2 emissions from burning fossil fuels -- one that provides...

Ocean losing ability absorb increasing carbon dioxide emissions
2014-09-10 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Sydney Morning Herald: Atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide are rising at a record rate as fossil fuel consumption increases and the ability of the oceans to absorb the greenhouse gas diminishes, the World Meteorological Organisation said. Average levels of C02 in the atmosphere rose almost 3 parts per million to 396 in 2013, accelerating from the 2.2 ppm increase in the previous year, the UN body said, citing data from 125 monitoring sites worldwide. "The changes we're seeing are really drastic," Oksana Tarasova,...

Xinhua: China's carbon emissions saw the largest drop in years as the nation furthers structural readjustment to improve growth quality, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang said on Wednesday. The country's carbon intensity was cut by about 5 percent in the first half of the year, the largest drop in many years, the premier said in an address to the Summer Davos forum, also known as the Annual Meeting of the New Champions 2014, being held in the port city of Tianjin in north China. Meanwhile, energy consumption...
Carbon emissions surged at a record pace last year: World Meteorological Organization

Times of India: Devastating floods in Jammu & Kashmir are already raising alarm about climate change induced extreme weather events, now the World Meteorological Organization's (WMO) Greenhouse Gas Bulletin released on Tuesday revealed some grim statistics. The Greenhouse Gas Bulletin showed that between 1990 and 2013 there was a 34% increase in radiative forcing or the warming effect on climate because of long-lived greenhouse gases (GHG) such as carbon dioxide (CO2), methane and nitrous oxide. CO2 levels...
