Associated Press: Global energy emissions stayed stable last year even though the economy grew, according to data released Friday that could boost chances for a landmark climate accord later this year. The rising use of renewable energy, particularly in China, played a role in keeping emissions from the energy sector to 32.3 billion tons of carbon dioxide last year, the same as in 2013, the International Energy Agency said. Over the past 50 years, the only other times that emissions stayed the same or shrank were...

Global CO2 emissions 'stalled'
2015-03-13 15:34:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BBC: The growth in global carbon emissions stalled last year, according to data from the International Energy Agency. It marks the first time in 40 years that annual CO2 emissions growth has remained stable, in the absence of a major economic crisis, the agency said. Annual global emissions remained at 32 gigatonnes in 2014, unchanged from the previous year. But the IEA warned that while the results were "encouraging", this was "no time for complacency". "This is both a very welcome surprise...

Global emissions stall in 2014 following slowdown in China's economy
2015-03-13 15:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: A slowdown in Chinas economic growth helped the world to a pause in the upward rise in greenhouse gas emissions last year, according to data released on Friday. China burnt less coal last year than expected, as the projected rise in its energy demand faltered along with the rise in its economic growth, and as the expansion of its renewable energy generation continued. Emissions of carbon dioxide related to energy use were flat in 2014, compared with the previous year, the International Energy...

Carbon Emissions Stop Growing Globally
2015-03-13 14:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Hill: The growth in global carbon dioxide emissions stalled in 2014 for the first time in the 40 years, and the International Energy Agency (IEA), which has been tracking it, said the slowdown wasn't connected to an economic downturn. The IEA said the news shows promise that economic progress does not necessarily have to be tied to increasing greenhouse gas emissions, as it has been for decades. This gives me even more hope that humankind will be able to work together to combat climate change, the...

China Coal Consumption, CO2 Emissions Drop in 2014
2015-03-13 14:26:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Clean Technica: New data suggest that China, the worlds #1 CO2 emitter, has succeeded in decoupling coal use from economic output since its coal consumption growth began slowing down in 2012. Data recently released by the National Bureau of Statistics of China indicate that China coal consumption fell by 2.9% in 2014. Also during 2014, Chinas CO2 emissions from fossil fuels fell by 0.7%. This is the first time on record that the countrys emissions have fallen while total energy consumption grew. The graph...
