CO2 levels hit record high

Guardian: The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has risen to a record high -- again. For the past nine years the UN World Metereological Organisation has produced an annual greenhouse gas bulletin, with each year notching up a record high for average annual levels, and figures published on Wednesday show 2012 was no exception. This isn't particularly surprising -- in September the UN's climate science panel, the IPCC, told us that atmospheric CO2 concentrations were at levels "unprecedented...
CO2 pollution levels at annual record high, U.N. says

Detroit Free Press: World carbon dioxide pollution levels in the atmosphere are accelerating and reached a record high in 2012, the U.N. weather agency said today. The heat-trapping gas, pumped into the air by cars and smokestacks, was measured at 393.1 parts per million last year, up 2.2 ppm from the previous year, said the Geneva-based World Meteorological Organization in its annual greenhouse gas inventory. That is far beyond the 350 ppm that some scientists and environmental groups promote as the absolute...
CO2 injections likely culprit in Texas earthquakes -study

Reuters: Carbon dioxide injected into oil and gas wells may have caused a series of minor earthquakes in Texas long before the adoption of current hydraulic fracking, according to a study published on Monday in a national science journal. The study, which analyzed 93 earthquakes that occurred between March 2009 and December 2010, appears to be the first to link earthquakes of magnitude 3 and above and carbon dioxide injections in the Cogdell oil field near Snyder, Texas. Tremors in the area that occurred...

Decline in CO2 may be 'permanent'
2013-10-31 10:20:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BBC: Global emissions of carbon dioxide may be showing the first signs of a "permanent slowdown" in the rate of increase. According to a new report, emissions in 2012 increased at less than half the average over the past decade. Key factors included the shift to shale gas for energy in the US while China increased its use of hydropower by 23%. However the use of cheap coal continues to be an issue, with UK consumption up by almost a quarter. The report on trends in global emissions has been...
