LA Times: The international conference on climate change that opens here Monday is widely expected to produce a historic agreement among nations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that scientists say cause global warming. Laurent Fabius, the French foreign minister, said Saturday that 183 countries accounting for nearly 95% of global greenhouse gas emissions have submitted plans for how they would reduce emissions. "This," said Fabius, speaking to reporters at the tightly secured summit venue, "is radically...

Costly 'cleaner' coal fights for space in emissions debate
2015-11-30 11:48:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: The global coal industry is trumpeting "cleaner coal" technology to fight bubbling competition from renewable energy, but the high costs of greener plants are proving a major obstacle in selling them to power-hungry countries such as India. The challenges are highlighted by the experience of Japan - despite a concerted push by Tokyo to take a lead in exporting the technology, only 7 percent of the power stations built or planned since 2010 with funds from Tokyo's export credit agency were of the...

China to stake leadership claim on climate change, emissions reduction at Paris UN conference
2015-11-28 21:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Australian Broadcasting Corporation: Despite pumping as much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere as the next four biggest polluters combined, China will use this week's UN conference in Paris to stake a global leadership claim on climate change. Six years on from the disappointing Copenhagen conference, where China was seen by the West as largely impeding a binding agreement, Beijing is bringing a raft of ambitious commitments to the table. Chief among them, a state-led investment drive for renewables with an aim of sourcing 20...
Global carbon emissions almost stall but warming can become faster

International Business Times: With the Paris climate talks around the corner, there is good and bad news for the future. A study shows that the total greenhouse gas output rate has almost stalled. It increased by just 0.5% in 2014 compared to the 3-4% in the first decade of this century. However, a Swedish study shows that warming can increase due to the effect of man-made emissions on natural emissions. A cut in the former can help substantially reduce the warming. China's slow economic growth, its shift to clean energy...
