United Nations Group Warns on Emissions
2013-11-05 04:42:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New York Times: Major polluters must immediately begin to reduce greenhouse gas emissions if the rise in global temperatures is to be held in check without paying a higher price later, according to a report Tuesday from the United Nations Environment Program. While a failure to act swiftly will not necessarily doom the effort to limit the rise in global temperatures to 2 degrees Celsius, or 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit,, above preindustrial levels, it will make it much harder and more expensive to do so, the agency noted...

Climate Scientists Endorse Nuclear Energy As Way To Reduce Greenhouse Emissions
2013-11-04 13:19:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
RedOrbit: Wind and solar energy alone will not be enough to prevent severe global warming in order to adequately reduce fossil fuel emissions, clean nuclear power plants will be required, some of the planets top climate scientists wrote in an open letter sent to leading environmental organizations on Sunday. According to the Associated Press (AP), the letter claims that global temperatures and carbon dioxide emissions are rising faster than ever, and that world governments need to consider focusing on...

Power Plants Try Burning Wood With Coal to Cut Emissions
2013-11-03 21:24:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New York Times: Even as the Environmental Protection Agency considers requiring existing coal-fired power plants to cut their carbon dioxide output, some utilities have started to use a decidedly low-tech additive that accomplishes that goal: wood. Ranging in size from sawdust to chunks as big as soup cans, waste wood from paper mills, furniture factories and logging operations has been used with varying levels of success. Minnesota Power, which once generated almost all of its power from coal and is now trying...
LPG-Powered Taxis and Minibuses in Hong Kong Face Emissions Problem
2013-11-03 00:29:24| AutomotiveDigest.com - Automotive Industry News
LPG-powered taxis and minibuses in Hong Kong have produced unintended consequences. Government incentives have brought these alternative-fuel vehicles to the market, but more smog was produced through concentrations of nitrous oxide coming from catalytic converters retrofitted to the vehicles in operation from 2008 through 2012. Unless the vehicles that are driven nearly around the clock [...]The Article LPG-Powered Taxis and Minibuses in Hong Kong Face Emissions Problem appeared first on Automotive Digest.
Farmers could cut emissions while boosting production
2013-11-01 11:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
SciDevNet: Farmers could earn more and protect the environment by using technologies and practices that reduce the global warming gases that livestock emit, according to a report by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). The report's five case studies suggest that the potential for mitigation is greatest among low-productivity ruminant producers in South Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America and the Caribbean. It found that raising livestock such as pigs, cattle and poultry generates climate-altering...
