Natural Gas Usage Won't Help Curb Carbon Emissions
2014-09-25 18:05:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: Switching from coal to natural gas for power generation will do very little to reduce harmful US carbon emissions causing climate change, according to new research. In fact, burning this cheap gas will just make us use more energy and hinder the expansion of renewable resources like wind and solar. It's no secret that coal-fired plants, the nation's largest source of power, produce vast quantities of carbon dioxide (CO2), the main greenhouse gas polluting Earth's atmosphere. Increased use of natural...

Natural Gas a Bridge to Nowhere, Study Finds
2014-09-25 16:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: A study published today in the journal Environmental Research Letters found that switching from coal to natural gas would not significantly lower the greenhouse gas emissions that drive climate change. "Thats chiefly because the shift would delay the deployment and cost-competitiveness of renewable electricity technologies for making electricity," concluded the three researchers from the University of California Irvine, Stanford University and Seattle-based nonprofit Net Zero. "Increased use...

Study says natural factors, not humans, behind West Coast warming
2014-09-25 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Seattle Times: It has been a subject of debate for years: How much has global warming contributed to a documented rise in temperatures along the West Coast? A new study published Monday in a major research journal suggests the answer thus far, particularly in the Northwest, is: hardly any. An average coastal temperature increase of 1 degree Celsius since 1900 along the West Coast appears more likely to be the result of changes in winds and air circulation over the eastern Pacific Ocean, two former University...
