2013-04-03 04:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New York Times: THE Environmental Protection Agency's latest proposed tightening of limits on sulfur in gasoline, and its previous rules, will most likely have the perverse consequence of retarding the development of cars running on batteries, advanced biofuels or hydrogen -- all promising but expensive technologies that have not become mass-market products.

Other countries--including China--are now studying our experience with this abundant new resource. But the growing role of natural gas in the U.S. energy mix hasnt come without controversy. Natural gas development poses a variety of environmental risks. In addition to habitat disruption and impacts on local water and air...

Climate News Network: In what could be a far-reaching move, the world's poorest countries say they are now prepared to commit themselves to binding cuts in their emissions of greenhouse gases. The move has the potential to quicken the pace of the glacially-slow U.N. negotiations, which have for years been trying to agree an effective way to cut emissions in order to avoid runaway climate change. A Ugandan family. Uganda is one of the 49 countries comprising The Group of Least Developed Countries, a key partner in...
