Climate Home: Outperformance in 2014 shows the EU can set a more ambitious course next decade, say campaigners Offshore wind power helped cut EU emissions (Flickr/Aaron) The EU soared past its 2020 carbon cutting goal six years early, according to European Environment Agency data released on Tuesday. Greenhouse gas emissions in 2014 were 4.1% lower than the previous year and 24.4% below the 1990 baseline. The 2020 target is a 20% cut. The biggest savings were in manufacturing, power generation and...

Without emissions cuts, summer heat will get even deadlier
2016-06-21 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Inside Climate News: By 2060, large swaths of the planet could be hit by unprecedented heat waves during the summer months that would exceed all historical records, according to a new study by scientists at the National Center for Atmospheric Research. Just as a severe heat wave sizzles the U.S. Southwest, sending temperatures in parts of Arizona to 120 degrees, this new study predicts similarly dangerous heat will become more commonplace. Without major reductions in global greenhouse gas emissions, the study said...

Methane Emissions Onshore Oil and Gas 14 Coal Plants Powered for One Year

EcoWatch: When we talk about climate change all too often we focus on carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas. But there is a much more potent greenhouse gas, methane, which is much more efficient at trapping radiation than CO2. Some estimates put it at 87 times more potent over a 20 year lifetime than carbon dioxide. And who is the biggest culprit for releasing methane in the U.S.? It is the oil and gas industry, which is the largest industrial source of methane pollution in the country, releasing 33 percent...
European commission warned of car emissions test cheating, five years before VW scandal

Guardian: The European commission was warned by its own experts that a car maker was suspected of cheating emissions tests five years before the VW emissions scandal. A documents cache seen by the Guardian show that the commissions in-house science service told it in 2010 that tests had uncovered what researchers suspected to be a defeat device that could cheat emissions tests. VW was caught by US authorities last year using defeat device software that detected if a car was being driven under lab...
