EcoWatch: Damascus Citizens for Sustainability (DCS) commissioned a preliminary investigation by Gas Safety, Inc. in November and December of 2012 of fugitive emissions of natural gas in Manhattan to better understand gas distribution systems in the context of global climate concerns. The methane measurements in Manhattan indicated many leaks, some intense. Very few measurements indicated normal background methane levels. The preliminary report indicates Manhattan sits in a cloud of elevated levels of methane....
IMF calls for world's $1.9tr fossil fuel subsidies to be removed

BusinessGreen: Removing worldwide fossil fuel subsidies worth $1.9tr would have "major gains for economic growth and the environment" the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said yesterday. A study by the international body estimates support for products from coal to petrol equate to around 2.5 per cent of global GDP and account for roughly eight per cent of all government revenues. It shows that 20 countries maintain pre-tax energy subsidies that exceed five per cent of their GDP. "For some countries the fiscal...

Climate Change Series: The Future Of Fossil Fuels

WBUR: Over the past 250 years, we have become increasingly reliant on fossil fuels. Coal, oil and natural gas powered the industrial and technological revolutions and to this day remain the worlds most dominant source of energy. But when fossil fuels are burned to create energy, they release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere which contributes to global warming. Indeed, fossil fuels produce the majority of the worlds greenhouse gases and are a huge driver of climate change. Stocks are also far from...

The hard math on fossil fuels
2013-03-22 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New York Times: How close is the world to devastating climate upheaval? My column on Wednesday argued that the natural gas boom is helping the United States reduce its emissions of heat-trapping carbon into the air, encouraging power generators to switch to gas from the much dirtier coal. American CO2 emissions last year totaled about 5.25 billion tons -- almost 13 percent less than in 2007. But as some readers argued, the decline is so modest that it is almost irrelevant. To stop the worlds temperature from rising...
