ScienceDaily: The release of volatile organic compounds from Earth's forests and smoke from wildfires 3 million years ago had a far greater impact on global warming than ancient atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide, a new Yale study finds. The research provides evidence that dynamic atmospheric chemistry played an important role in past warm climates, underscoring the complexity of climate change and the relevance of natural components, according to the authors. They do not address or dispute the significant...

Reuters: Britain's greenhouse gas emissions rose 3.2 percent in 2012 from a year earlier due to a move from natural gas to coal for power generation and increased use of heating during a cold winter, final government data showed on Tuesday. Britain, the world's ninth largest emitter in 2012, saw greenhouse gas emissions reach 581.2 million tons compared to 563.2 million tons in 2011. Carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas blamed for climate change, accounted for 82 percent of 2012 emissions, rising...

European electricity giants back 40 per cent emissions cuts
2014-02-04 01:20:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BusinessGreen: Binding emissions reduction targets and an expansion of the EU's carbon trading scheme are among the recommendations a group of leading European electricity firms have submitted to policymakers, as they prepare to debate the bloc's next wave of climate and energy policies. Trade body Eurelectric yesterday handed a manifesto to EU Energy Commissioner Günther Oettinger that calls for European and national policymakers to take measures that would "re-orient energy policy towards cost-efficiency...
