New analysis from PSE Healthy Energy and University of California at Berkeley finds that increased deployment of renewable energy is the best way to meet or even surpass Clean Power Plan targets, as recent scientific measurements of methane leaks from natural gas systems have found higher rates of leakage than those recorded in official inventories

Oilsands share of GHG emissions to double by 2030
2016-01-30 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Ottawa Citizen: Environment Minister Catherine McKenna says more needs to be done to curb greenhouse gas emissions, as new data show Canada is drifting further away from its climate targets while the oilsands share of national greenhouse emissions is projected to double by 2030. Briefing materials prepared for McKenna, and obtained by the Citizen, show that oilsands emissions are expected to account for more than half the increase in total Canadian GHGs between 2010 and 2030. Greenhouse gas emissions from...

Bill would help state meet greenhouse gas emissions goals
2016-01-30 13:58:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: A bill approved by the Massachusetts Senate would set new targets to help the state meet its greenhouse gas emissions goals. The new targets would help the state meet its existing 2050 statewide greenhouse gas emissions goals set by the Global Warming Solutions Act. The bill sets an emissions limit of between 35 and 45 percent below the 1990 emissions level by 2030. The bill then sets another emissions limit of between 55 and 65 percent below the 1990 emissions level by 2040. The bill would also...
Pipeline reforms 'great step' but don't account for most emissions, say climate critics

Tyee: The Trudeau government's newly announced reforms to pipeline environmental assessments still fail to consider the impact of almost 90 per cent of resulting greenhouse gas emissions, climate experts have told The Tyee. The government announced a new interim assessment regime Wednesday, saying it will restore public confidence in much-criticized National Energy Board reviews. The major change will see a pipeline's upstream emissions included in the assessment. For a pipeline from Alberta's oil...
Canada: Environment ministers face rising carbon emissions numbers

CBC: New projections about rising greenhouse gas emissions in Canada show the scale of the task facing the country's environment ministers, who are meeting in Ottawa today. Documents obtained under Access to Information suggest the provincial, territorial and federal governments will need to make tough decisions if Canada can meet its international pledge to cut climate-warming pollution. The ministers will spend the day behind closed doors in Ottawa's Old City Hall in a session chaired by federal...
