Nations seek shared post-2050 carbon emissions goal
2015-09-05 08:59:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nikkei: Negotiations are gaining momentum toward a new treaty that would set post-2050 targets for reducing global greenhouse gas emissions, giving individual nations more time to bring their own short- and medium-term goals up to speed. Parties to a United Nations climate change framework aim to adopt a new global treaty at the 21st Conference of the Parties, or COP21, in Paris from Nov. 30 to Dec. 11. But countries are far from agreement on specific emissions targets. France, host of the conference,...
Emissions 'far above' 2C target

BBC: Global plans to curb carbon dioxide are well below what's needed to keep temperatures from rising more than 2 degrees, according to a new analysis. It is the work of researchers from the Climate Action Tracker (CAT), a consortium of research institutions. They examined the commitments already made by governments to limit warming. The CAT rated seven of the 15 submitted carbon plans as "inadequate" to keep temperatures below the accepted level of dangerous warming. The analysis was released...

Guardian: The Abbott government has signed off on detailed rules for its Direct Action climate policy, which experts say will allow big industry to actually increase greenhouse emissions. The so-called safeguards mechanism is supposed to ensure that increased emissions from heavy industry and electricity generators do not undo the reductions bought through the governments $2.5bn scheme.

General Mills commits to reducing absolute greenhouse gas emissions across the supply chain
2015-09-01 19:58:27| Agriculture - Topix.net
Minneapolis-based General Mills announced a commitment to reduce absolute greenhouse gas emissions by 28% across its full value chain - from farm to fork to landfill - over the next 10 years. The commitment was calculated using science-based methodology to achieve a level of emission reductions that science suggests is necessary to sustain the health of the planet.
