Renew Economy: On Monday, US time, President Obama will unveil a new regulation that would aim to cut carbon emissions from coal-fired power stations by up to 20 per cent, the New York Times reports. It will be the boldest move yet in his efforts to force America to take climate change action, despite opposition from the US Congress. In a speech this week, Obama denounced those that deny climate change. He said: American influence is always stronger when we lead by example. We cannot exempt ourselves from...

National Geographic: The Obama administration on Monday will propose new environmental rules that seek to cut emissions from U.S. power plants by 30 percent from 2005 levels by 2030, according to news reports on Sunday. Aiming to bypass a divided Congress by issuing regulation through the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the anticipated Monday announcement is U.S. President Barack Obama's boldest action yet to address climate change. If successful, the proposal would lead to the first-ever rules aimed at...
New EPA rule seeks to cut carbon emissions 30% by 2030

Associated Press: The Obama administration will seek to cut greenhouse-gas emissions from existing power plants 30% by 2030, potentially one of the biggest steps any country has ever taken to confront climate change, people familiar with the plan said Sunday. Seen as the linchpin to President Obama's climate-change campaign and a key part of his legacy, the proposed power-plant rule will set state-specific targets for carbon-dioxide reductions and let local officials decide how best to meet the goals. A formal...
EPA to seek deep cuts in carbon emissions from power plants

USA Today: The Environmental Protection Agency will unveil a sweeping proposal Monday that will require deep cuts in carbon emissions from existing power plants, including a 30% national target by 2030, according to two people briefed on the plan. The EPA draft rule, a major plank of President Obama's initiative to fight climate change, will require states to develop and implement plans to cut power plant emissions of heat-trapping carbon dioxide. It will give states different reduction targets but will...
Reducing emissions is the primary way to fight climate change, study finds

Click Green: Climate engineering is unlikely to provide an effective or practical solution to slowing global warming, according to a new study. Reducing the release of carbon remains the only likely answer to tackling climate change ahead of fanciful projects such as positioning giant mirrors in space to reduce the amount of sunlight being trapped in the earth's atmosphere or seeding clouds to reduce the amount of light entering earth's atmosphere. A new report by professors from UCLA and five other universities...
