Climate change or not, power-starved India just can't help burning more coal

Quartz: More than a fifth of India's population lacks access to electricity, posing a major development challenge. India's prime minister Narendra Modi has promised to bring affordable access to electricity to all of these people by 2019. While Modi has committed to increasing renewable power generation, India is also increasing coal production. India is the world's third-largest coal producer and its second-largest coal importer. This is increasing the tension between development and India's efforts...

Burning all fossil fuels would scorch Earth: study
2016-05-27 23:40:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
PhysOrg: Average temperatures would climb by up to 9.5 degrees Celsius (17 degrees Fahrenheit)-five times the cap on global warming set at climate talks in Paris in December, they reported. In the Arctic region-already heating at more than double the global average-the thermometer would rise an unimaginable 15 C to 20 C. Burning all known reserves of oil, gas and coal would inject about five trillion tonnes of heat-trapping carbon into the atmosphere, mainly in the form of carbon dioxide, a team wrote...

Canada Is Burning. Sucking More Oil from the Ground Won't Help

Esquire: When last we checked in on the petro-state of Alberta, in western Canada, there was a huge wildfire burning down the city of Fort McMurray, hub of the tar-sands energy revolution--tar-sands being the poisonous glop various multinationals would like to pump all over the continent through pipelines in order to maintain our addiction to dead dinosaur juice. Opposition to our old friend, the Keystone XL pipeline--the continent-spanning death funnel and current conservative fetish object--had to do...
What burning all remaining fossil fuels would do to the planet

Independent: Burning all fossil fuels on earth over the next 300 years would increase temperatures in some areas of the globe by up to 20C, resulting in catastrophic impacts to life on our planet, a new study warns. The paper, published in Nature Climate Change, examines the effects if we continue to burn coal, oil and gas with no effort to limit emissions. Global average temperatures would soar by 10C (50F), while the arctic, where temperatures in February year were already 16C above average, could see...

Burning All Fossil Fuels Would Lead 17 C Rise in Arctic Temperatures
2016-05-24 16:23:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: Burning all the fossil fuels we know to exist on Earth could push global temperature an average of 8 C above preindustrial levels, according to new research. The Arctic would bear the brunt of the warming, with temperatures potentially rising 17 C, said the authors. The new paper, published Monday in Nature Climate Change, looks at would happen over the next 300 years or so if the world continues to burn coal, oil and gas with no efforts to limit emissions. Dr. Malte Meinshausen from the Potsdam...
