Global Carbon Emissions Need to Peak in 2016, Scientists Say

Reuters: The world could avoid much of the damaging effects of climate change this century if greenhouse gas emissions are curbed more sharply, research showed on Sunday. The study, published in the journal Nature Climate Change, is the first comprehensive assessment of the benefits of cutting emissions to keep the global temperature rise to within 2 degrees Celsius by 2100, a level which scientists say would avoid the worst effects of climate change. It found 20 to 65 percent of the adverse impacts by...
Major cuts to surging carbon dioxide emissions are needed now, not down the road, study finds

ScienceDaily: Halting climate change will require "a fundamental and disruptive overhaul of the global energy system" to eradicate harmful carbon dioxide emissions, not just stabilize them, according to new findings by UC Irvine and other scientists. In a Jan. 9 paper in Environmental Research Letters, UC Irvine Earth system scientist Steve Davis and others take a fresh look at the popular "wedge" approach to tackling climate change outlined in a 2004 study by Princeton scientists Stephen Pacala and Robert...
Fears over carbon emissions after permit prices dive

Independent: The global carbon market shrank by more than a third to EUR61bn (49bn) in 2012, the lowest level in its five-year history, fuelling concerns that key permit schemes designed to force down CO2 emissions are proving ineffective. The amount that energy-intensive companies were forced to pay to compensate for their CO2 emissions tumbled by 36 per cent last year, as the value of the permits they need to buy once their carbon footprint hits a certain level dived from a worldwide average of EUR11.20...
