Yale Environment 360: Can We Reduce CO2 Emissions And Grow the Global Economy? Surprising new statistics show that the world economy is expanding while global carbon emissions remain at the same level. Is it possible that the elusive decoupling of emissions and economic growth could be happening? The statistic is startling. In the past two years, the global economy has grown by 6.5 percent, but carbon dioxide emissions from energy generation and transport have not grown at all, the International Energy Agency...

Study questions Chinas CO2 emissions dip
2016-03-30 15:08:08| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: China's greenhouse gas emissions are on a downward trajectory, but its emissions may not have fallen quite as much over the past two years as the Chinese government and the International Energy Agency have suggested. That's the conclusion of a new study published in the journal Nature Climate Change, which says China's emissions may have actually increased in 2014, rather than fallen. The International Energy Agency estimated last year that both the decline in China's coal use and falling electricity...

Global energy sector CO2 emissions flat in 2015: IEA
2016-03-17 09:59:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Global emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the energy sector were flat in 2015, despite an uptick in economic growth, the IEA said on Wednesday. The energy sector is the largest source of man-made greenhouse gas emissions and traditionally its emissions have only fallen or stayed flat during economic downturns. Global energy CO2 emissions were almost unchanged at 32.1 billion tons last year, preliminary data from the International Energy Agency (IEA) showed, while the global economy grew...

China's CO2 emissions may have peaked in 2014: study
2016-03-07 01:29:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: China's carbon emissions, by far the world's highest, may have peaked in 2014, according to a study published on Monday, potentially putting Beijing under pressure to toughen its climate pledges. China has promised to bring greenhouse gas emissions to a peak by "around 2030" as part of its commitments to a global pact to combat global warming, signed in Paris last year. Evidence that the country has peaked much earlier could lead to concerns that its existing targets are too easy. The study, by...

United Kingdom: Ed Miliband calls law make CO2 emissions target legally binding
2016-03-06 19:28:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Ed Miliband has assembled a group of cross-party MPs and campaigners to demand parliament enacts a law to to make the carbon emissions target agreed at the Paris climate talks legally binding. The former Labour leader alongside Liberal Democrat leader, Tim Farron, Green MP Caroline Lucas and two Conservative MPs has called for legislation that would significantly extend the present UK target of cutting emissions by 80% by 2050. His intervention follows Decembers Paris summit, where global...
