Reuters: Brazil's greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) fell 4.9 percent in 2012 as declining deforestation rates and a drought-induced drop in cattle herds outweighed increased emissions from the energy sector, an independent study showed on Thursday. The nation's output of heat-trapping gases, which are blamed for climate change, hit 1.484 billion tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) last year, according to Climate Observatory, a network of nongovernmental organizations that includes World Wildlife Fund,...

Economic Times: In September, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and President Barack Obama agreed to discuss how hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), which are hundreds to thousands of times more potent global warming compounds than carbon dioxide, could be phased down. They agreed, bilaterally and at the G20 summit, to use the expertise and institutions of the Montreal Protocol and report emissions under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Action on HFCs offers some common ground in the protracted climate...

Greenhouse gas emissions from coal mining and gas up by 13%
2013-10-24 09:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Greenhouse emissions from coal mining and gas production increased by almost 13% in the year to March, offsetting declining emissions from electricity production to leave Australia's annual emissions virtually unchanged. The environment minister, Greg Hunt, claimed the result was "proof' the carbon tax -- that he intends to repeal -- has been a "pointless burden' on the economy. As Australia's coal, gas and coal seam gas production increases, so-called "fugitive' emissions released during mining...
