UN highlights role of farming in closing emissions gap
2013-11-06 08:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BBC: Changing farming practices could play an important role in averting dangerous climate change says the UN. In their annual emissions report, they measure the difference between the pledges that countries have made to cut warming gases and the targets required to keep temperatures below 2C. On present trends there is likely to be an annual excess of 8 to 12 gigatonnes of these gases by 2020. Agriculture, they say, could make a significant difference to the gap. This is the fourth such report,...

EU official urges stepped-up global action to close "emissions gap"
2013-11-06 07:59:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Xinhua: The European Union (EU)'s climate action commissioner Connie Hedegaard on Tuesday called for concerted global action to cut excessive greenhouse gas emissions, after a UN report warned that the world could fail on the goal of containing global warming within two degrees Celsius. According to the annual report released by the UN Environment Program (UNEP) on Tuesday, global greenhouse gas emissions in 2020 will be eight to 12 billion tonnes more than the level needed to hit the 2-degree target. ...

Gap between emissions cuts and dangerous climate change widens, report says
2013-11-06 07:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ClimateWire: Keeping global temperatures below a dangerous threshold by 2020 risks becoming a distant dream, a new U.N. Environment Programme report finds. Greenhouse gas emissions levels are "considerably higher" than what will be needed to keep the global average temperature increase below 2 degrees Celsius, making it increasingly likely that the world will have to rely on costlier technologies like carbon capture and sequestration in order to meet the threshold in the coming decades, the "Emissions Gap...

Nanopower: the future of emissions reduction?
2013-11-06 01:00:00| Power Technology
University of Adelaide researchers have developed a new nanomaterial that could reduce carbon dioxide emissions from power stations much more cheaply than current techniques. Professor Christopher Sumby, the man behind the material, explains the pote
