Reuters: A deal on limiting carbon dioxide emissions from aviation will likely be reached next year, no matter the outcome of this week's climate change talks in Paris, a senior official from the International Air Transport Association (IATA) said on Thursday. The aviation industry is not covered by the United Nations climate talks currently being held in Paris because it is organized under a separate U.N. body, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). The latest draft of the climate change...

Powdered metal could replace fossil fuels, eliminate greenhouse gas emissions
2015-12-10 13:30:13| Extremetech
Scientists at McGill University have created a method of using powdered metals as a stable fuel source. In theory, these materials could replace fossil fuels -- and they're recyclable, too. That doesn't mean the path to commercialization will be easy, however.

VW admits emissions scandal was caused by systematic failures
2015-12-10 12:14:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Volkswagen has admitted for the first time that the diesel emissions scandal was the result of systematic failures within the company, rather than just the actions of rogue engineers. Hans Dieter Pötsch, the VW chairman, said there had been a whole chain of errors at the German carmaker rather than a one-off. There was a mindset within the company that tolerated rule-breaking, he said. Speaking at a press conference in Germany, Pötsch said engineers had installed defeat devices in diesel...

The world's CO2 emissions dipped in 2015. But don't celebrate just yet

Vox: See that dip at the end? A new study in Nature Climate Change reports that worldwide carbon dioxide emissions likely dropped in 2015, the first time that's ever happened without the help of a global economic crisis. That's definitely noteworthy. And there are some interesting underlying reasons for the drop, mainly regarding shifts in China's energy habits, which we'll get to in a sec. The trouble is that a number of media outlets, including the New York Times, have gone even further, suggesting...

How China's carbon emissions could be driving a low in global emissions
2015-12-09 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Christian Science Monitor: The global carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels and industry for this year are projected to show a slow down, or even decline, in the global warming-inducing greenhouse gas emissions. Researchers found that carbon emissions may show a decline by 0.6 percent for 2015, a marked departure from the annual increase of 2.4 percent seen in the past decade, according to new research published Monday in the journal Nature Climate Change. China's new emissions policies seem to be the driving force...
