Once hailed solution climate change, carbon capture & storage is not happening'

Climate News Network: Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is backed by governments and the International Energy Agency (IEA) as one of the best methods of reducing carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere and saving the planet from overheating. The problem is that despite this enthusiasm and the fact that CCS (also called carbon sequestration) is technically possible, it is not happening. It is cheaper and easier to build wind and solar farms to produce electricity than it is to collect and store the carbon from coal-powered...

CBC: Try as it might, the National Energy Board just can't escape the climate change discussion. In his campaign trail unveiling this week of the Liberal Party's new green agenda, Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau singled out the country's energy regulator for the part he believes it should play in curbing Canada's greenhouse gas emissions. Not long ago, the NEB was just a sleepy regulator that went about the business of setting tolls and monitoring pipelines with little attention and even less fanfare....

South China Morning Post: China has sent countries sitting on the sidelines of international climate change negotiations a powerful message. Its pledge to substantially cut carbon dioxide emissions by 20 per cent more than previously indicated lifts expectations others will make similar promises. With common ground having been found with the European Union and the US, momentum for an agreement is building. That amounts to the best hope yet of a meaningful deal being struck at UN talks in Paris in December. The goals laid...

Reuters: As Germany and Spain sweated and London sweltered through its hottest July day on record this week, scientists said it is "virtually certain" that climate change is increasing the likelihood of such heat waves in Europe. In real-time data analysis released on Friday, a team of international climate scientists from universities, meteorological services and research organizations said the kind of heat waves hitting Europe this week defined as three-day periods of excessive heat are becoming...
