Reports Offer Clearest Picture Yet Rising Greenhouse Gas Emissions
2014-09-21 19:57:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Geographic: Two days before the UN Climate Summit in New York, three new studies paint the clearest picture yet of rising greenhouse gas emissions and the dwindling opportunity for staving off the worst impacts-and also of at least one way that huge undertaking might be shared fairly among the nations of the world. "The overall outlook is rather bleak," says Steven J. Davis, a climate scientist at the University of California, Irvine, who co-authored a paper published Sunday in the journal Nature Climate...

Scientists Report Global Rise in Greenhouse Gas Emissions
2014-09-21 19:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New York Times: Global emissions of greenhouse gases jumped 2.3 percent in 2013 to record levels, scientists reported Sunday, in the latest indication that the world remains far off track in its efforts to control global warming. The emissions growth last year was a bit slower than the average growth rate of 2.5 percent that prevailed over the past decade, and much of the dip was caused by an economic slowdown in China, which is the worlds single largest source of emissions. It may take another year or two to...

In Overhaul, New York Vows to Cut Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Its Buildings
2014-09-21 03:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New York Times: In a sweeping effort to reduce its environmental impact, New York City is planning to overhaul the energy-efficiency standards of all its public buildings and to pressure private landlords to make similar improvements. The initiative is part of a pledge, to be announced before the start of the United Nations Climate Summit on Tuesday , to decrease greenhouse gas emissions by 80 percent by 2050 from 2005 levels. The United Nations has pointed to that rate of decrease as a desired target for developed...
