CO2 Emissions Expected to Rise Significantly by 2030

Guardian: Warnings that the world is headed for "peak oil" -- when oil supplies decline after reaching the highest rates of extraction -- appear "increasingly groundless," BP's chief executive said. Bob Dudley's remarks came as the company published a study predicting oil production will increase substantially, and that unconventional and high-carbon oil will make up all of the increase in global oil supply to the end of this decade, with the explosive growth of shale oil in the U.S. behind much of the...

Norwegian Sea can hold 100 years of Norway's CO2 emissions: NPD
2013-01-25 12:28:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Norway could store 100 times its annual emissions of carbon dioxide under the Norwegian Sea to help fight climate change, adding to its even bigger potential under the North Sea, an official report showed on Friday. The findings are most relevant for natural gas finds such as the Sleipner field in the North Sea, where the gas contains high levels of carbon dioxide. Norway has imposed taxes on carbon emissions since 1991 as part of efforts to limit climate change. An atlas by the Norwegian...

Carbon Bomb projects threaten explosion in global emissions
2013-01-22 14:53:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BusinessGreen: A group of 14 giant "carbon bomb" projects that are currently in planning and development is on track to single-handedly increase global greenhouse emissions 20 per cent by 2020, making it near impossible for the world to avoid runaway climate change. That is the stark warning contained in a report released today by Greenpeace and undertaken by consultancy Ecofys, which argues that keeping global average temperature increases to under the 2ºC mark agreed by governments is almost entirely...
