Times of India: Voicing concern over "painfully slow" progress in climate talks, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Tuesday said the goal of stabilizing global temperatures was "nowhere in sight" and pitched for individual countries to take action to increase energy efficiency. Singh, inaugurating the Fourth Clean Energy Ministerial, also made it clear that rich nations, who were responsible for a bulk of greenhouse gas emissions, were best placed to provide workable solutions to mitigate climate change. They...

Clean energy progress too slow to limit global warming, warns IEA
2013-04-17 11:59:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: The development of low-carbon energy is progressing too slowly to limit global warming, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said on Wednesday. With power generation still dominated by coal and governments failing to increase investment in clean energy, top climate scientists have said that the target of keeping the global temperature rise to less than 2C this century is slipping out of reach. "The drive to clean up the world's energy system has stalled," said Maria van der Hoeven, the IEA's...

Cutting specific pollutants could slow sea level rise by 50 percent: Study
2013-04-15 07:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Asian News International: With coastal areas bracing for rising sea levels, new research indicates that cutting emissions of certain pollutants can greatly slow down sea level rise this century. The research team found that reductions in four pollutants that cycle comparatively quickly through the atmosphere could temporarily forestall the rate of sea level rise by roughly 25 to 50 percent. "To avoid potentially dangerous sea level rise, we could cut emissions of short-lived pollutants even if we cannot immediately...

Cutting Short-lived Pollutants Can Slow Sea Level Rise
2013-04-15 00:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: A new study finds that it is possible to greatly slow the rate of sea level rise, which is one of the biggest threats global warming poses, by cutting so-called "short-lived climate pollutants,' which warm the climate on timescales of a few weeks to a decade, in combination with reductions in long-lived greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2). The study, published in the journal Nature Climate Change, found that reducing emissions of these short-lived climate pollutants, including soot and...
