Warming Could Boost Carbon Storage in Alaska Forests
2016-06-02 22:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: Climate change may dramatically increase carbon storage in Alaskas temperate forests, possibly offsetting the climate impacts of melting permafrost and wildfires, new research from the U.S. Geological Survey shows. But theres an asterisk: the studys authors said their projections could be skewed by a lack of data on methane emissions from lakes throughout northern Alaska, which could factor into how much carbon is ultimately stored by the forests. Using computer models to project how warmer...

Media Juss: In this February 25, 2016 photo, a truck carries a load at the Nucor Steel plant in Seattle. Washington state is releasing its second take of a proposed rule to require the state's largest polluters to reduce their carbon pollution in an effort to tackle climate change. On Wednesday, the Washington State Department of Ecology released an updated draft of the Clean Air Rule, a reintroduced plan to make the state's biggest polluters cut their greenhouse gas emissions that was retracted earlier this...

Washington to force states biggest carbon polluters to cut emissions
2016-06-02 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Seattle Times: With some concessions to business concerns, Gov. Jay Inslees administration is pushing ahead with a plan to force greenhouse-gas cuts by some 70 of the states biggest industrial emitters. The state Department of Ecology on Wednesday rolled out a new Clean Air Rule, replacing a draft withdrawn by the agency in February after criticism from industry and environmentalists. Like the earlier proposal, the rule would require dozens of affected industries -- ranging from Anacortes oil refineries...

Cities must take the lead to low carbon transition
2016-06-02 08:08:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Energy Live: Cities across the globe must take the lead in the transition to a low carbon energy sector. They account for up to two-thirds of the potential to cost effectively reduce global carbon emissions, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). Its new report forecasts at least two-thirds of the growth in global final energy demand will come from cities in emerging and developing economies by 2050, doubling energy-related CO2 emissions if policies don`t change. That`s because a large portion...

Carbon planning under legal stay moves behind closed doors
2016-06-01 15:08:49| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ClimateWire: Across the country, state officials, power companies and environmental advocates are participating in closed-door meetings to discuss the future of the Clean Power Plan. While state agencies have made parts of their planning talks public, transparency experts say the common practice of holding parallel private discussions could deprive people of insight into preparations for a regulation that stands to affect power prices and public health for decades to come. They also say it may give utilities...
