East African Business Week: Tanzania could join the list of leading African nations in greenhouse gas emissions in the future. This is if its ambitious plans to utilize coal and natural gas for power generation will not take environmental conservation into account, an expert has warned. Presenting a paper on "the global context and debates surrounding energy and environment", the Director of Tanzania Specialist Organization on Community Natural Resources and Biodiversity Conservation (TASONABI), Mr. Bariki Kaale explained...

Air travel to get bumpier as CO2 emissions rise, scientists say
2013-04-09 09:59:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
NBC: Turbulence on transatlantic flights will become more frequent and severe by 2050 as carbon dioxide emissions rise, leading to longer journey times and increased fuel consumption, British scientists said in a study on Monday. Any air traveller has probably experienced turbulence. It can happen without warning and is caused by climate conditions such as atmospheric pressure, jet streams, cold and warm fronts or thunderstorms. Light turbulence shakes the aircraft, but more severe episodes can...
New emissions standards would fuel shift from coal to natural gas
2013-04-07 18:15:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: The cost of complying with tougher EPA air-quality standards could spur an increased shift away from coal and toward natural gas for electricity generation, according to a new Duke University study. The stricter regulations on sulfur dioxide, particulate matter, nitrogen oxide and mercury may make nearly two-thirds of the nation's coal-fired power plants as expensive to run as plants powered by natural gas, the study finds. "Because of the cost of upgrading plants to meet the EPA's pending...
