China: Emissions peak hard to predict, expert says

China Daily: Many variables will factor into when China's greenhouse gas emissions will peak, and the issue requires more in-depth analysis, Zhou Dadi, vice-chairman of the National Energy Advisory Committee, told China Daily on Friday. Recent media reports said China's greenhouse gas emissions might peak before 2025. The Chinese government has always attached great importance to climate change issues and has actively responded, said Zhou, who is also a professor at the Energy Research Institute of the National...
Report calls for more research on gas drilling, greenhouse emissions
2013-05-26 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Gazette-Mail: Much more research is needed to determine the extent that greenhouse emissions leak from the processes used to drill for, produce and distribute natural gas, according to a new report that examines the most recent science on the issue. Climate Central, a Princeton, N.J.-based science and journalism organization, said the evidence so far strongly suggests a switch from coal to natural gas is unlikely to provide the 50 percent cut in global warming emissions frequently attributed to such a change...

UK government: To propose 50 percent CO2 emissions cut by 2030
2013-05-26 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Wall Street Journal: he U.K. government will propose that the European Union should commit to a legally binding 50% cut in emissions of carbon dioxide, compared with 1990 levels, by 2030, the country's Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, Ed Davey, said in a statement Saturday. The EU already targets a 20% cut in CO2 emissions by 2020, but this reduction is not ambitious enough, Mr. Davey said. So EU member states should commit to a unilateral 40% cut in emissions by 2030, and a 50% cut if a broader global...

Britain calls for EU target to halve emissions by 2030

Independent: Britain has challenged Europe to sign up to an ambitious target of cutting carbon emissions by 50 per cent by 2030. Ed Davey, the Climate Change Secretary, called on fellow EU governments to sign up to the target as part of a global climate agreement in 2015. The proposal marks a shift in the UK's position after internal coalition wrangling over climate change. The British government wants the EU to agree to 40 per cent reduction of carbon emissions from 1990 levels, with an "ambition" for...

UK Emissions Must Be Halved By 2030, Says Davey
2013-05-25 21:58:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Huffington Post: Europe should commit to a tough new target to halve emissions by 2030, Climate Change Secretary Ed Davey has said. The Lib Dem Cabinet minister said the goal was ambitious but achievable as the Government set out its position ahead of efforts to secure a new international deal in 2015 on tackling global warming. But the UK will oppose a European Union wide renewable energy target because it is "inflexible and unnecessary," he added. Europe should commit to a tough new target to halve emissions...
