IPCC report: How to fight global warming while saving money
2014-04-14 22:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Christian Science Monitor: Energy efficiency is a "key mitigation strategy" in keeping global carbon emissions within a safe range through the end of the century, according to a report issued Sunday by the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). In the near term, it may be the most immediate and inexpensive way to curtail emissions while more costly and complex solutions get under way. Smarter energy use alone won't solve global warming. The world will also need to quickly shift to carbon-free...

No option left but to suck CO2 out of air, says IPCC
2014-04-14 18:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New Scientist: It is a beguiling idea: grow crops that suck carbon dioxide from the air, burn them to generate electricity, then bury the resulting CO2. The result? Less CO2 in the air, and less climate change. This idea's time has come. The new report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), published on Sunday in Berlin, Germany, says "widespread" use of bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) will probably be needed to stop the world warming by 2 °C, the politically agreed danger...
IPCC report: Climate needs swift shift to clean energy
2014-04-14 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
USA Today: A rapid shift to less-polluting energy will be needed to avoid catastrophic global warming, because global emissions of heat-trapping greenhouse gases have accelerated to unprecedented levels, the United Nations reports today. These emissions -- largely from the burning of oil, gas and coal -- grew more quickly between 2000 and 2010 than in any of the three previous decades and will need to be slashed 40% to 70% by mid-century and almost entirely by century's end to keep global temperatures from...

IPCC: CO2 Emissions Soar, Yet Paths Avoid Calamity Open
2014-04-13 20:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environment News Service: Global greenhouse gases emissions grew more quickly between 2000 and 2010 than in any of the three previous decades, reaching record levels despite a growing number of policies to reduce climate change, finds a new report by economists with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, released today in Berlin. Still, it is possible, using a wide array of technological measures and changes in behavior, to limit the increase in global mean temperature to 2°C (3.6°F) above pre-industrial levels,...
