Environment News Service: Prime Minister Kevin Rudd today announced that Australia would shift from the country`s current fixed carbon price to an emission trading scheme effective July 1, 2014, a year earlier than planned. But to fill the budget gap of A$3.8 billion left by the change, Rudd has decided to cut environmental programs. In Queensland as part of his swing around the country ahead of an upcoming election, Rudd said he is aware that many Australians are "feeling cost of living pressures" and also that "most...

And yet, after years of public stand-offs, the world's two largest planet warmers - with 40 per cent of global carbon dioxide emissions between them - last week reached a ground-breaking deal in Washington DC. Both countries are keen on quick fixes for greenhouse gases other than CO2. They will phase out hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), used as refrigerants, and harmonise vehicle emissions standards. That...

Bowland Shale fracking could reignite UK economy and cut CO2 emissions
2013-07-16 15:16:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: In late June the British Geological Survey announced the world's largest shale-gas field. The Bowland Shale, which lies beneath Lancashire and Yorkshire, contains 50% more gas than the combined reserves of two of the largest fields in the United States, the Barnett Shale and the Marcellus Shale. The United Kingdom has been reluctant to join the hydraulic-fracturing (or fracking) revolution. Yet tapping the Bowland Shale could reignite the UK economy and deliver huge cuts in CO2 emissions. At...
