EcoWatch: The committee drafting the Democratic Party platform unanimously voted to include a call for the Justice Department to investigate fossil fuel companies for misleading the public on climate change. "All corporations owe it to their shareholders to fully analyze and disclose risks they face including climate risks. Those who fail to do so should be held accountable, the committee declared. The committee also included the goal of producing 100 percent of electricity from renewable sources by...

Fossil fuel companies impose more in climate costs than they make in profits
2016-06-21 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Vox: It is fairly well understood by now that releasing carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere imposes an economic cost, in the form of climate change impacts. In most cases, however, those responsible for carbon emissions are not required to pay that cost. Instead, it's borne mainly by the world's poor and low-lying countries, and of course by future generations, as many of the worst impacts of climate change will emerge years after the emissions that drive them. People sometimes...

Climate Home: Curtailing government support for cooking or vehicle fuels can drive economic growth, but it may leave some sections of society suffering Consumer subsidies on fossil fuels around the world totalled about USD 500 billion in 2014. Although such policies typically aim to benefit the economy and low-income households, a large body of evidence finds that, in aggregate, these policies are very inefficient in serving those goals. For example, they often benefit richer people more than the poor. ...

Climate Home: The Paris climate agreement signals a global transition from fossil fuels to clean energy. Yet since adopting the deal, senior EU officials have continued to favour traditional energy majors with their time, according to analysis from Corporate Observatory Europe (CEO). Commissioners Miguel Arias Canete and Maros Sefcovic had six times as many encounters with fossil fuel interests as renewables or energy efficiency advocates, meeting records show. That is skewing policy towards a dependence...

Fossil Fuel Phase-Out Wont Affect Energy Supply
2016-06-07 17:21:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: A stress test on the security of the UKs energy supply has been carried out after concerns were raised over a planned phase-out of coal by 2025. Bright Blue commissioned Aurora Energy Research to complete the test and found that Britains energy supply will be left unharmed if the Government go ahead with their plan. The research shows that UK Government could now implement the phase-out earlier than originally planned with no risk to energy supply. Bright Blue finds that, under each scenario,...
