The report Climate change and business survival has been published by Anglia Ruskin Universitys Global Sustainability Institute and Mott MacDonald. It explains that investing in improved...

Climate change threatens electric power supply in California, report warns
2015-05-18 22:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Californians may have to start rationing more than water, including how much they turn on their lights and how often they use their hairdryers. By 2050, extended years of drought in the state could lead to an electricity shortage as well as a water shortage, according to a study published on Monday in the journal Nature Climate Change. In the study, Arizona State University authors Matthew Bartos and Mikhail Chester found that almost half (46%) of 978 electric power stations in the western...

NY Fracking Report Underscores Quake, Climate Risks

Climate Central: New York is 2,000 pages closer to becoming the first fossil fuels-rich state in the U.S. to ban fracking indefinitely because of the climate-changing methane it could emit and the earthquakes, air pollution and water contamination it could cause. Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced in December that fracking, short for the natural gas extraction process called hydraulic fracturing, would be banned in New York, where the energy-rich Marcellus shale holds up to 9 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. The state...

Associated Press: Global energy emissions stayed stable last year even though the economy grew, according to data released Friday that could boost chances for a landmark climate accord later this year. The rising use of renewable energy, particularly in China, played a role in keeping emissions from the energy sector to 32.3 billion tons of carbon dioxide last year, the same as in 2013, the International Energy Agency said. Over the past 50 years, the only other times that emissions stayed the same or shrank were...

Intergenerational report: climate change silence in 2015 a stark contrast to 2010

Guardian: Five years ago the 2010 intergenerational report declared that climate change is the largest and most significant challenge to Australias environment. If climate change is not addressed, the consequences for the economy, water availability and Australias unique environment will be severe. But the 2015 report has struck a markedly different tone. Under the headline climate change, it records the governments emissions reduction target and the $2.55bn emissions reduction fund that it states...
