Guardian: Energy-related carbon dioxide pollution grew by 2% last year after declining several years in a row, a government report said Monday. The increase was largely due to a small boost in coal consumption by the electric power industry, according to the study by the US Energy Information Administration. American cars and factories spewed 5.38 billion tons of carbon dioxide in 2013, up from 5.27 billion in 2012, the report said. Carbon dioxide is the chief man-made global warming gas. Coal, long...

Coal Places Australia Second in Carbon Emissions
2014-01-13 15:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Australia is pumping out more carbon emissions to achieve its economic growth than almost any other major economy, while a quarter of its mammal species are threatened with extinction, according to a major new environmental audit. A report by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) found Australia was second only to Estonia among 34 advanced nations in terms of greenhouse gas emission intensity per unit of gross domestic product (GDP). This measure ranks the ability of...

EPA's New Greenhouse Gas Emissions Standards Now Open for Public Comment
2014-01-13 14:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environmental News Network: Politically contentious as ever, climate change is back in the headlines, as a brutal, deep and prolonged southward shift in the polar vortex has put much of the continental U.S. in a deep freeze. In stark contrast, people living in the Southern Hemisphere in Australia, Argentina and Brazil, for example are trying to cope with heat waves, the threat of drought and power outages in major cities. While many are scrambling with the immediacy of such problems, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency...
