Global Warming Goal of 2 Degrees Dwindling
2014-09-22 20:06:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: As our climate continues to change and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions keep climbing, scientists and world leaders alike fear that the chances of limiting global warming to 2 degrees Celsius is dwindling fast. Now, climate officials have announced that it's highly unlikely we'll meet that goal due to the concentration of greenhouse gases. In an effort to track carbon emissions, the Global Carbon Project (GCP) published three peer-reviewed articles identifying the challenges for society to keep...

Reports: India to raise solar power goal to 15GW by 2019
2014-09-22 01:15:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BusinessGreen: India looks set to raise its solar power target to 16GW by 2019, a fivefold increase on current capacity, as part of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's plans to step-up green energy deployment. The government plans to support 15GW of installations over the next five years, up from its current plan for 3.6GW by 2017, New Delhi-based advisory Bridge to India Energy said in a note to clients. The move would see plans to auction 1,500MW of solar projects by April scrapped in favour of a more ambitious programme...

World greenhouse emissions threaten warming goal
2014-09-21 21:55:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Agence France-Presse: Emissions of greenhouse gases are rising so fast that within one generation the world will have used up its margin of safety for limiting global warming to 2°C (3.6°F), an international team of scientists warned Sunday. A report by the Global Carbon Project (GCP), published two days ahead of the UN climate summit on Tuesday, found that carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil-fuel combustion and cement production grew by 2.3 percent in 2013, reaching a record 36 billion tonnes of CO2. It predicted...

Obama urged to plug methane leaks to meet climate goal
2014-09-20 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Bloomberg: Environmental groups are asking the Obama administration to beef up its climate plan by targeting methane leaks in the web of valves, pipes and pumps drillers use to produce and deliver natural gas. While companies have a vested interest in keeping methane bottled up on its way to customers, some gas inevitably seeps out. Thats worrisome because methane -- the primary component of gas -- is 25 times more potent than carbon at trapping heat. The administration has embraced gas as a cleaner alternative...
