Global natural gas boom alone won't slow climate change
2014-10-16 19:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: A new analysis of global energy use, economics and the climate shows that without new climate policies, expanding the current bounty of inexpensive natural gas alone would not slow the growth of global greenhouse gas emissions worldwide over the long term, according to a study appearing today in Nature. Because natural gas emits half the carbon dioxide of coal, many people hoped the recent natural gas boom could help slow climate change -- and according to government analyses, natural gas did...

Global Boom in Natural Gas Unlikely to Help the Climate, Study Suggests
2014-10-16 18:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Environment 360: Increasing global supplies of unconventional natural gas will not help to reduce the overall upward trajectory of greenhouse gas emissions and the planetary warming that comes with it, according to a new study published in the journal Nature. The findings further undercut the notion, long touted by proponents of natural gas, that the fuel which emits less CO2 than coal when burned represents an important "bridge" in the transition to low-carbon energy resources. The study, which synthesized models...

Fracking boom will increase global carbon emissions, scientists warn
2014-10-16 12:58:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: A global fracking boom will not help prevent climate change, as cheap shale gas would displace cleaner renewable energy and actually increase carbon emissions, according to a new study. Because the burning of shale gas, extracted through the controversial process of fracking, releases around 50% less carbon than conventional fossil fuels such as coal, proponents have suggested it could act as a bridge fuel. While investment in renewables is scaled up to meet demand, shale gas could fill in...
