Canada reneges on emissions targets as tar sands production takes toll

Guardian: Canada has retreated on past promises to fight climate change, setting out lower targets for cutting greenhouse gas emissions than any other industralised country so far ahead of a critical conference in Paris. The announcement was a setback to efforts to reach a deal in the French capital that would limit warming to 2C (3.6F), the threshold for dangerous climate change. Under the announcement, Canada committed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 30% below 2005 levels by 2030. That is a far...

Canada: Pledge Sent to U.N. to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions by 2030

Associated Press: Prime Minister Stephen Harpers government said Friday that Canada would reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 30 percent below 2005 levels by 2030. The government said it had formally submitted its target to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, in advance of a major climate change conference in Paris in December. The United States, Japan and the European Union have already committed to relatively similar reductions over the next 10 to 15 years. Canada possesses the worlds third-largest...

Canada to pledge 30 percent cut in greenhouse gas emissions

Reuters: Critics dismissed the pledge, noting Canada has no chance of meeting its existing 2020 target for cutting the output of gases widely blamed for global warming. Canada's right-of-center ruling Conservatives say they will tackle climate change while avoiding measures that might kill jobs. The party has deep political roots in the west, where emissions are soaring as the oil-rich tar sands are developed. As part of Friday's announcement, Environment Minister Leona Aglukkaq said the government...
Carbon emissions from peatlands may be less than expected
2015-05-11 21:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Duke University scientists have discovered a previously unknown dual mechanism that slows peat decay and may help reduce carbon dioxide emissions from peatlands during times of drought. "This discovery could hold the key to helping us find a way to significantly reduce the risk that increased drought and global warming will change Earth's peatlands from carbon sinks into carbon sources, as many scientists have feared," said Curtis J. Richardson, director of the Duke University Wetland Center and...
