Traffic emissions may pollute one in three Canadian homes

ScienceDaily: A trio of recently published studies from a team of University of Toronto engineers has found that air pollution could be spreading up to three times farther than thought--contributing to varying levels of air quality across cities. Past research on air pollution from vehicle tailpipes has shown poor air quality anywhere between 100 to 250 metres of major roadways. But in a paper published in the recent edition of the journal Atmospheric Pollution Research, U of T chemical engineer Greg Evans...

Australia should cut emissions by 30% by 2025 to catch up, review says

Guardian: Australia should aim to slash its greenhouse gas emissions by 30% by 2025, compared with 2000 levels, in order to catch up to other countries efforts and prove it is a good global citizen, according to a Climate Change Authority review. The CCA, an independent statutory agency that advises the government, also recommended that Australia ramp up its emissions cuts even further by 2030, within a target range of 40% and 60%, again based on 2000 levels. The report restates the authoritys position...

US carbon emissions are rising again. Can Obama push them back down?
2015-04-21 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Vox: One of the most promising climate-change stories of the last decade was the steep plunge in US carbon dioxide emissions after 2005. Before then, US emissions had been rising relentlessly for decades. Suddenly, they were falling. That drop was partly due to the US fracking boom, which created a glut of cheap natural gas and spurred utilities to burn less coal for electricity. It was partly due to various clean-energy and efficiency measures. And it was partly making real progress on global warming....
Canada's GHG Emissions Rose 2013, Little Room Meet 2020 Target
2015-04-21 15:19:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Globe and Mail: Canada's greenhouse-gas emissions rose in 2013, propelled by higher oil and gas production, Environment Canada said in a report to the United Nations that suggests the country has little hope of meeting its international commitments. Ministers in the Conservative government have frequently touted the fact that the production of GHGs has declined since 2005, but that decrease reflects the steep losses during the 2008-09 recession. The report released Monday shows that Canada's annual GHG emissions...
