China sees greenhouse gas 'progress'
2015-06-08 01:43:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BBC: China's greenhouse gas emissions could start to decline within 10 years, according to a report from the London School of Economics. This would be five years earlier than expected and would offer a boost towards efforts to protect the climate. The shift has been partly caused by a massive commitment to renewables. China is the world's top investor in wind and solar power. It has also been replacing old coal plants with cleaner new stations. 'Under-promise and over-deliver' Many of the changes...
Global warming: Greenhouse gas warming takes only weeks be felt

Business Times: The warming from carbon dioxide released by burning a lump of coal exceeds the heat generated by the combustion in just 34 days. It takes 45 days for oil combustion and 59 days for natural gas to achieve comparable warming to that generated by burning the respective fuel. This shows that global warming does not take years and decades for its effects to be felt, shows a study by climate scientists at the Carnegie Institution for Science. "Ultimately, the warming induced by carbon dioxide over the...

Canada: Ontario sets new greenhouse gas pollution reduction target
2015-05-15 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
CBC: Canada has committed to a 30 per cent reduction of 2005 levels by 2030, ahead of an international climate change conference later this year. One of the ways the government plans to meet this goal is counting on emissions reductions by the provinces, including a 37 per cent reduction below 1990 levels recently announced by Ontario. Ontario announced a new greenhouse gas target on Thursday. The province already has a goal to reduce greenhouse gas pollution by 15 per cent below 1990 levels by...
