Earthworms Increase Soils Greenhouse Gas Emissions
2013-02-04 14:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: Most earthworms may be tiny, but a new study suggests their impact on the climate could be mighty. Researchers had long assumed the creepy crawlers help store carbon in soils by consuming fallen leaves and other decaying plant matter, which they deposit in soil in their cast, or droppings. But newer studies suggest the worms may actually increase soils' output of two key greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide. A new meta-analysis, published Sunday in the journal Nature Climate Change,...

Coal-Burning Utilities Seek a Role in EPA Rule-Making on GHG Emissions
2013-02-04 06:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Washington Post: Lobbyists for coal-burning utilities such as Southern Co. and Duke Energy are consulting environmental advocates and holding strategy sessions as they seek a role in shaping President Obama's plan to combat climate change. Obama's emphasis on global warming in his inaugural address last month has led power and coal producers, which have fought regulation of greenhouse gas emissions from power plants, to begin crafting their own proposed rules. "It was the hope of a lot of companies in this...

U.S. Carbon Emissions Fall to Lowest Level Since 1994
2013-02-01 17:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Environment 360: The continuing expansion of renewable energy technologies, advances in energy efficiency, and the rapid shift from coal to natural gas for generating electricity combined to bring down U.S. carbon dioxide emissions last year to their lowest levels since 1994, according to a report by Bloomberg New Energy Finance. The report said that CO2 emissions fell 13 percent in the last five years alone, which means that the U.S. is now more than halfway toward reaching President Obamas goal of cutting emissions...

US emissions fall to lowest levels in almost 30 years
2013-02-01 16:09:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BusinessGreen: US carbon emissions have fallen 13 per cent over the past five years to reach their lowest levels since 1994, according to a new report. A doubling of renewable energy capacity and increases in the use of natural gas have reduced reliance on coal and oil, while improving energy efficiency has seen demand for energy fall steeply, says the paper published by Bloomberg New Energy Finance on behalf of industry group the Business Council for Sustainable Energy (BCSE). From 2007 to 2012, natural...
