Japan bails out on CO2 emissions target

Inter Press Service: Japan announced Friday that it will renege on its carbon emissions pledge, likely ending any hope global warming can be kept to 2.0 degrees C. The shocking announcement comes on the fifth day of the U.N. climate talks in Warsaw known as COP19, where more than 190 nations have agreed to a 2.0 C target and are trying to close the carbon emission gap to get there."It's like a slap in the face of those suffering from the impacts of climate change such as the Philippines." -- Wael Hmaidan Japan...

Japan's new CO2 goal dismays U.N. climate conference
2013-11-15 08:39:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: China, the EU and environmentalists criticised Japan at U.N. climate talks on Friday for slashing its greenhouse gas emissions target after its nuclear power industry was shuttered by the Fukushima disaster. The Japanese government on Friday decided to target a 3.8 percent emissions cut by 2020 versus 2005 levels. That amounts to a 3 percent rise from a U.N. benchmark year of 1990 and the reversal of the previous target of a 25 percent reduction. "Given that none of the nuclear reactors is...

Emissions of CO2 driving rapid oceans 'acid trip'
2013-11-14 02:13:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BBC: The world's oceans are becoming acidic at an "unprecedented rate" and may be souring more rapidly than at any time in the past 300 million years. In their strongest statement yet on this issue, scientists say acidification could increase by 170% by 2100. They say that some 30% of ocean species are unlikely to survive in these conditions. The researchers conclude that human emissions of CO2 are clearly to blame. The study will be presented at global climate talks in Poland next week. ...

EU Parliament Lowers CO2 Emission Limits for Vans

Environment News Service: The CO2 emission standard for new light commercial vehicles sold in the European Union is being cut to achieve climate targets under draft legislation approved by the European Parliament`s Environment Committee on Tuesday. Today the limit stands at 203 grams per kilometer of CO2. If the legislation becomes law, the CO2 emission limit will fall to 175 g/km after 2017, and then three years later will drop again to 147 g/km by 2020. The text of the legislation, already informally agreed with EU...
