White House Wants Government Suppliers to Address Climate Change
2016-06-10 09:53:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
InsideClimate: The Obama administration has sent American industry another signal about the need to address climate change. Under a rule proposed last month, companies doing business with the federal government would have to report whether they publicly disclose greenhouse gas emissions, their plans for paring emissions and the risks climate change poses to their operations. The rule wouldn't require disclosure or set emissions goals. While the proposal by the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council (part...

Scientists turn carbon dioxide into stone to fight climate change
2016-06-10 06:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Agence France-Presse: Scientists have turned carbon dioxide into stone in a matter of months by pumping it deep underground, offering a revolutionary new way of storing the greenhouse gas to tackle climate change. The pioneering experiment in Iceland mixed CO2 emissions with water and pumped it hundreds of meters (feet) underground into volcanic basalt rock -- where it rapidly turned into a solid. "We need to deal with rising carbon emissions. This is the ultimate permanent storage -- turn them back to stone,' said...
Climate change: Melbourne renewable energy project provides global blueprint

Guardian: Its an unmistakably Melbourne setting: councillor Arron Wood is the citys environment portfolio chairman, standing in a rooftop courtyard as the faint sound of trams rises up from Swanston Street down below and the surrounding skyline reaches into a cool autumn sky. Against this backdrop, not to mention the solar thermal panels on the next level, Wood does not hold back when discussing how cities can lead from the front in tackling climate change. He evokes the philosophy of Michael Bloomberg,...

Companies Failing To Account For Climate Change At Risk Of Decline & Bankruptcy

CleanTechnica: Companies failing to account for the impact of climate change and a transition to a low-carbon economy are at risk of decline or even bankruptcy. This is the primary finding from a new submission to the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures published earlier this week by the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment, along with the ESRC Centre for Climate Change Economies and Policy at the London School of Economics and Political Science. According to the...

Climate change likely to turn up heat on koalas
2016-06-08 12:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Phys.Org: A changing climate means that by 2070 koalas may no longer call large parts of inland Australia home, researchers have found. Using a detailed ecological model, the University of Melbourne study shows hotter temperatures and altered rainfall patterns will make it much more difficult for koalas to get the water they need - making inland populations vulnerable to heat-stress. The researchers mapped potential koala habitats in 2070 by using information about koala behaviour, physiology, body size,...
