Singapore feeds first solar power into retail grid to reduce emissions
2016-02-29 11:34:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Singapore on Monday announced it had begun to feed solar power into its retail electric grid for the first time, as it seeks to reduce emissions and prepares to fully liberalize its electricity market. Singapore, one of the sunniest cities in the world, generates almost all its power from imported natural gas, with solar fuelling less than 1 percent. In countries like Germany and Japan, rooftop solar panels have helped boost capacity and bring record levels of renewable energy into the power mix....

Washington considers nation's first carbon emissions tax
2016-02-28 14:49:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: Washington could become the first state in the nation to impose a direct tax on carbon emissions from fossil fuels such as coal, gasoline and natural gas. A ballot measure before the state Legislature would create a carbon tax of $25 per metric ton of fossil fuel emissions burned in Washington, while reducing taxes. Lawmakers have until the end of the session on March 10, to enact Initiative 732, offer an alternative proposal or automatically pass the carbon-tax measure to voters in November...

Emissions Could Make Earth Uninhabitable
2016-02-28 12:45:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate News Network: Greenhouse gases could tip the Earth-or at least a planet like Earth, orbiting a star very like the Sun-into a runaway greenhouse effect, according to new research. The new hothouse planet would become increasingly steamy, and then start to lose its oceans to interplanetary space. Over time, it would become completely dry, stay at a temperature at least 60°C hotter than it is now, and remain completely uninhabitable, even if greenhouse gas levels could be reduced. Max Popp, postdoctoral researcher...
