Global Carbon Emissions To Hit 40B Tons In 2013, Says Report
2013-11-19 19:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
RedOrbit: Scientists from the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research at the University of East Anglia (UEA) released their annual Global Carbon Budget report on Tuesday, which found that the continued burning of fossils fuels will drive carbon dioxide emissions to a record high of 40 billion tons in 2013. Based on several recent studies and global computer models, the reports projected fossil fuel emissions rise of 2.1 percent would put global levels at 61 percent above those from 1990, the baseline...

2013 Global Carbon Emissions to Reach Record Level
2013-11-19 18:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LiveScience: The world is on track to emit record levels of carbon dioxide this year, according to a new report announced yesterday (Nov. 18). The study, to be published in a forthcoming issue of the journal Earth System Science Data Discussions, found that the world is set to emit nearly 40 billion tons (36 billion metric tons) of carbon dioxide by the end of 2013. The estimate represents a 2.1 percent increase over last year's emissions levels, and a 61 percent increase over 1990 levels. Earth is heating...

Greenhouse gas emissions hit highest level ever
2013-11-19 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Age: Global greenhouse gas emissions from burning fossil fuels reached the highest levels in human history last year, driven predominantly by Chinese growth, and are projected to surge even further in 2013. New data from the Global Carbon Project -- a team of international scientists who track global emissions -- finds carbon dioxide released from burning fossil fuels and making cement grew 2.2 per cent in 2012 from the previous year. In 2013 a further 2.1 per cent rise is expected. But the latest...
Global carbon emissions 'to reach 36 billion tons'
2013-11-19 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Scotsman: WORLD carbon emissions are set to reach a record 36 billion tonnes by the end of the year, scientists have warned. Figures revealed in the annual Global Carbon Budget show the level of emissions is estimated to be 61 per cent above 1990 levels agreed by the Kyoto Protocol on greenhouse gases. The report found the biggest contributors to fossil fuel emissions in 2012 were China, accounting for 27 per cent, the United States for 14 per cent, the European Union for 10 per cent, and India for 6...

Global carbon emissions rise to new record in 2013: Report
2013-11-19 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Global carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels will rise to a record 36 billion metric tons (39.683 billion tons) this year, a report by 49 researchers from 10 countries said, showing the failure of governments to rein in the main greenhouse gas blamed for global warming. The report by the Global Carbon Project, which compiles data from research institutes worldwide each year, was published in the journal Earth Systems Data Discussions on Tuesday. Its 2013 estimate represents a 2.1...
