China's coal boom is slowing that's huge deal for climate change
2014-04-18 14:36:59| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Vox: How much global warming will we get in the future? That largely depends on how much extra carbon-dioxide humans put in the atmosphere. And that -- in large part -- hinges on how much coal China ends up burning in the years ahead. China has been growing rapidly -- and with 1.3 billion people, it needs a staggering amount of energy. Currently, 65 percent of that energy comes from coal, the most carbon-intensive of all fossil fuels. That's a huge deal: Over the last decade, fully half of the global...

No, the IPCC climate report doesnt call for a fracking boom
2014-04-16 18:19:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Grist: You might have heard that the latest installment of the big new U.N. climate report endorses fracking, urging a "dash for gas" as a bridge fuel to put us on a path to a more renewable energy future.

They appear to have been based on interviews and on a censored summary of the report, which was published two days before the full document became available. The energy chapter from the full report of the Intergovernmental...
