India's options after US-China climate pledge
2014-12-12 18:52:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
SciDev: The recent joint announcement by the US and China on their climate commitments appears to have given licence to commentators and media in the West to believe that it is only fair to ask India to fall in line and announce a similar commitment as China. This licence, apparently, does not require application of reason. A fair assessment would show that if the commitments made by the US and China along with that of EU are taken together the emission space left for all other countries is so small that...

Here's How Much Carbon US-China Climate Deal Actually Save
2014-12-08 13:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Business Insider: Last month the leaders of the United States and China agreed on a deal to cut carbon emissions, after nine months of secret correspondence. The deal commits China to capping its carbon emissions at whatever rate it hits in 2030, while the US has pledged to cut its emissions by 26-28 % of its 2005 levels by 2025. As the top two carbon polluters on the planet, the US and China account for 40% of greenhouse gas emissions, meaning their actions could shape the future of Earth's climate. The...

Guardian: The United States and China sprang a surprise last week with their secretly-negotiated deal to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. Although cheered as historic milestone in the global fight against climate change, the real deal, a landmark, ambitious, and game-changer by western media, the agreement received a less than enthusiastic response in India. The Centre for Science and Environment (CSE), a research and advocacy NGO based in Delhi, called it a self-serving and business-as-usual...

US-China climate pact seen boosting Indian efforts
2014-11-14 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: This week's China-U.S. climate agreement between the world's top two polluting countries puts pressure on India, No. 3 on the list, to become more energy efficient and should encourage investment in renewable energy. But the pact is also a relief for India because it acknowledges the long-held view among developing economies that industrialized nations have been emitting heat-trapping gases for many more decades and so should shoulder more of the burden for tackling climate change. Emerging economies...
