Calgary Herald: Environment Minister Robin Campbell says Alberta is busy revising its 2008 climate change plan, but the province won't alter its old targets to cut greenhouse gas emissions. The province has previously acknowledged its current strategy will fall short of cutting emissions by 50 megatonnes by 2020, triggering promises two years ago that Alberta would revamp its plan. In an interview this week, Campbell said the new strategy won't be a complete revision of the 2008 blueprint introduced by former...

Latin Post: Much of Latin America's identity is shaped by coffee; its importance is difficult to overstate. Beyond being a delicacy and a morning-time motivator in Latin America and abroad, it is one of Latin America's major exports, sustaining independent farmers in rural areas as well as corporate bankers in metropolitan areas. But the last decade has proven difficult: changing climate patterns have exaggerated plagues and droughts in the region, and this has produced less than desirable conditions for...

Guardian: The coal-heavy state of Ohio rebelled against Barack Obama's climate change agenda on Friday, becoming the first state to roll back measures promoting wind and solar power and energy efficiency. The bill signed into law by Ohio's governor, John Kasich, puts a two-year freeze on measures requiring power companies to obtain some of their electricity from wind and solar power, and reduce demand for electricity. The move will make it harder for Ohio to meet new standards unrolled by the Environmental...

AgWeb: The Agriculture Secretary used a recent speech to update developments in an ongoing program. Tom Vilsacks four-year-old grandson, on a recent visit, enjoyed walking through the dinosaur exhibits at the Natural History Museum in Washington D.C. But the outing, coupled with the recent discovery in Argentina of what might have been one of the largest dinosaurs to roam the earth, reminded the Agriculture Secretary of the potential dire impact of climate change. "It occurred to me that a lot of us...

Carbon pricing won't solve climate change. Innovation will
2014-06-13 18:17:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Christian Science Monitor: Carbon pricing has been the go-to solution for economists and environmentalists alike since climate change was identified as one of the foremost social and environmental challenges of our time. Want a climate rescue plan? Carbon pricing. Want to raise revenue for clean energy deployment? Carbon pricing. It's the "silver bullet" for other things, too. Want to reduce reliance on foreign oil? Or raise revenue to correct other tax inefficiencies? Carbon pricing. This approach appeals to many because...
