Europe's greenhouse gas emissions fall to record low
2015-10-20 16:22:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Greenhouse gas emissions in Europe have plunged to the lowest level ever recorded after the EUs member states reported an estimated 23% drop in emissions between 1990 and 2014. The bloc has now overshot its target for 2020 of cutting emissions by one-fifth at the same time that its economy grew by 46%, according to the EUs climate chief, Miguel Arias Canete . We have shown consistently that climate protection and economic growth go hand-in-hand, he said. This is a strong signal ahead...
Pledges by top three greenhouse gas emitters shut out other nations
2015-10-19 21:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Over two weeks in December, delegates from virtually every country in the world will gather in Paris for the 21st annual United Nations Climate Change Conference. Their ambitious goal: to hammer out a binding international agreement on climate action. In advance of the conference, organizers have requested that countries submit Intended Nationally Determined Contributions -- pledges to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, by an amount that should be "fair and ambitious," in order to limit global warming...
Methane bubbling off Svalbard is not a source of atmospheric greenhouse gas
2015-10-19 19:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Methane seeps from seafloor deposits near Svalbard release less 'greenhouse gas' into the atmosphere than other Arctic sites because ocean currents there form an effective barrier. This research, by scientists at the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) and the University of Southampton, was published this week in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans. Dr Carolyn Graves, the lead author of the study from the NOC, said "Strong ocean bottom currents carry the dissolved methane northwards, while...
