Reuters: Cutting the European Union's greenhouse gas emissions by 50 percent from 1990 levels by 2030 would reduce economic growth by a fraction of a percent, Britain's minister for energy and climate change said on Thursday. The European Commission, the EU's executive, is expected to unveil proposed 2030 green energy goals around the year end, and Britain wants the bloc to take on an ambitious target to help limit global temperature rises to below 2 degrees Celsius. "Meeting a 50 percent target is...

Climate, Ozone Threatened by Increasing Emissions of Laughing Gas, UNEP Warns
2013-11-21 21:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: Emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), also known as laughing gas, could double by 2050, threatening gains made in healing the ozone layer, the United Nations Environment Program warns in a new report. Agriculture is by far the number one contributor to N2O emissions, accounting for some two-thirds, with other major sources including fossil fuel combustion, biomass burning and wastewater. "Although not as prevalent in the atmosphere as CO2 in terms of mass, N2O ... is far from a laughing matter...

Guardian: It's been a week of mostly bad news for the planet but there may be a small glimmer of hope as new research shows the growth of emissions from China, the world's biggest emitter, may be slowing due to its efforts to clean up the air pollution problem in many of its cities. The United Nations climate change talks in Warsaw are so far not making sufficient progress to ensure the agreed goal of keeping global temperature increases to below 2C and new research shows that global CO2 emissions from...

New Study Traces Two-Thirds of Industrial Carbon Emissions to Just 90 Institutions
2013-11-21 17:35:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: New peer-reviewed research has found that just 90 entities are responsible for extracting most of the fossil fuels that have been burned over the past 150 years. These carbon majors include 50 investor-owned companies, such as ChevronTexaco and Exxon-Mobil, 31 state-owned companies, such as Saudi Aramco and Pemex, and nine government-run industries in the former Soviet Union, China and other countries. Emissions from burning these fuels total nearly two-thirds of all the carbon that has been...
