UK to fight North Sea?s 1.5bn EU carbon burden
2016-06-01 09:25:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Telegraph: The UK is set to fight an EU loophole which stands to burden North Sea explorers with spiralling carbon emissions costs of 1.5bn in the next decade. The struggling North Sea sector pays millions of pounds to buy 'allowances', which are used to offset the carbon intensity of the electricity it uses on offshore rigs through the EU's emissions trading system. Other energy intensive industries, however, such as steel and cement, are entitled to free carbon allowances, while sectors that generate...

Countries Prove that Economic Growth Doesnt Require More Carbon Emissions
2016-05-31 02:29:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Owe the Earth: According to the World Resources Institute (2016), there are more than 20 countries that have managed to grow their economy while reducing their carbon emissions. This flies in the face of the age-old assumption that economic growth requires burning more fossil fuels, which in turn leads to an increase in carbon emissions. Nor are we talking about small economies, or economic anomalies. From the years 2000-2015, Germany grew their economy by 16% while reducing their CO2 emissions by 12%, France...

Weve Only Got 5 Years Before Our 1.5°C Carbon Budget Is Blown
2016-05-30 12:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Clean Technica: In its most recent synthesis report, published in early 2014, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) laid out estimates of how much CO2 we can emit and still keep global average temperature rise to no more than 1.5C, 2C or 3C above pre-industrial levels. That same year, Carbon Brief used these estimates to calculate how many years of current emissions were left before blowing these budgets. Updating this analysis for 2016, our figures suggest that just five years of CO2 emissions...
