30% of Brazil's emissions from deforestation are export-driven
2013-04-05 20:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mongabay: 2.7 billion tons of carbon dioxide emissions or 30 percent of the carbon associated with deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon between 2000 and 2010 was effectively exported in the form of beef products and soy, finds a new study published in the journal Environmental Research Letters. The research underscores the rising role that global trade plays in driving tropical deforestation. The study, led by Jonas Karstensen of the Center for International Climate and Environmental Research in Oslo,...

Mongabay: Carbon dioxide emissions from energy consumption in the United States during 2012 fell to the lowest level since 1994, finds a new report from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, a branch of the Department of Energy. The assessment concludes that some 5.3 billion metric tons of CO2 were emitted from coal, natural gas, and oil consumption during the year, a 3.7 percent decline relative to 2011 and 12.1 percent below the peak of 6 billion tons hit in 2007. The EIA cited increased use of...

US carbon emissions hit lowest point since Nirvana was top of the charts
2013-04-05 15:55:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Quartz: US carbon emissions from energy production last year hit the lowest levels since 1994, according to a report today from the federal Energy Information Administration: Carbon emissions have now declined every year since 2007 save for 2010. The start of that period coincides, of course, with the great recession. The economic slowdown reduced energy needs as well as prompting more energy efficiency; but you can also thank the natural-gas boom that began around the same time, and which has shifted electricity...

Study finds improved cookstoves solve one emissions problem, but create another
2013-04-05 07:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ClimateWire: Smoldering embers beneath pots and skillets around the world spew acrid plumes of greenhouse gases and aerosols, polluting lungs and warming the planet. More than half of the world's population cooks food using these types of rudimentary stoves, which are often just a pot balanced on three stones above a fire. The stoves have global consequences for the climate, since sunlight-absorbing soot is the second-largest climate driver behind carbon dioxide. Biomass-fueled cookstoves form 20 percent of...
