Mother Nature Network: A new proposal from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) turns the spotlight on emissions from the energy sector, proposing that power companies reduce their carbon dioxide emissions by 30 percent by 2030, compared to 2005 levels. As Gina McCarthy, administrator for the EPA, explains in the video above, it's an attempt to give states a flexible path to reaching the lofty goal instead of a one-size-fits-all approach. "The flexibility of our Clean Power Plan affords states the choices that...

Methane emissions from fossil fuel exploitation may push Earth past climate tipping point
2014-05-17 03:20:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Summit Voice: As frackers desperately try to pump every last bit of gas from the ground before the global warming clock runs out, scientists warn that methane emissions could push Earth over a climate tipping point in just a few years. We have to control methane immediately, and natural gas is the largest methane pollution source in the United States, said Robert Howarth, greenhouse gas expert and ecology and environmental biology professor at Cornell University. If we hit a climate-system tipping point...
Climate panel warns emissions rising, blurs reason

Associated Press: The U.N.'s expert panel on climate change on Sunday highlighted the disconnect between international goals to fight global warming and what is being done to attain them. Emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases must drop by 40-70 percent by 2050 to keep the global temperature rise below the 2-degree C (3.6-degree F) cap set in U.N. climate talks, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change said. The opposite is happening now. On average global emissions rose by 2.2 percent - or...
