New Material Can Trap Powerful Greenhouse Gases Efficiently, Researchers Say
2014-11-14 20:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Environment 360: Scientists from the U.S. and Taiwan have developed a new type of lightweight, self-assembling molecule that can capture large amounts of potent greenhouse gases, according to a report in Nature Communications. The molecules create a lightweight structure with many microscopic pores that can adsorb gases such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). Those long-lived compounds, once widely used as refrigerants, were phased out because they damage the ozone layer, but they are still used in various industrial...

Australia told it should aim for 40% cut in greenhouse gases by 2025

Guardian: Australia needs to tell the world how it will calculate its medium-term greenhouse target for release early next year and should be looking at a 40% reduction by 2025, the Climate Institute think tank says. As revealed by Guardian Australia, US and European Union negotiators have also been unsuccessfully lobbying Australia to back a pledge by G20 leaders that their post-2020 greenhouse emission reduction targets will be unveiled early, to improve the chances of a deal at the United Nations meeting...
Combing the atmosphere to measure greenhouse gases
2014-10-30 09:46:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: By remotely "combing" the atmosphere with a custom laser-based instrument, researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), in collaboration with researchers from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), have developed a new technique that can accurately measure -- over a sizeable distance -- amounts of several of the major "greenhouse" gases implicated in climate change. The technique potentially could be used in several ways to support research on...

EU leaders to strike climate deal cut greenhouse gases 40% by 2030
2014-10-23 20:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: European leaders were expected to strike a broad climate change pact obliging the EU as a whole to cut greenhouse gases by at least 40% by 2030. But key aspects of the deal that will form a bargaining position for global climate talks in Paris next year were left vague or voluntary, raising questions as to how the aims would be realised. Draft proposals were given to national delegations on watermarked paper in sealed envelopes as the EU summit in Brussels started on Thursday, in an attempt...
