Associated Press: The black slabs of coal came in by the truckload through this dusty valley in northern China, slated to power cement and steel plants, heat the houses of poor farmers and even grill skewers of lamb and beef. Just a few dozen miles from the capital of Beijing, in Hebei province, coal use has long been a way of life here, with countless house-sized mounds of it dotting the forest floor. Yet the soot-covered residents of Tang County said they see change coming as Chinese leaders pledge to cut back...

Research confirms how global warming links carbon emissions
2014-12-01 21:46:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Research has identified, for the first time, how global warming is related to the amount of carbon emitted. A team of researchers from the universities of Southampton, Bristol and Liverpool have derived the first theoretical equation to demonstrate that global warming is a direct result of the build-up of carbon emissions since the late 1800s when human-made carbon emissions began. The results are in accord with previous data from climate models. The theoretical equation reveals the complex...

Norway: Capturing carbon at the edge of the world
2014-11-30 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Toronto Star: Mine 7 is a broad black smear across the pure white Arctic wilderness that surrounds the worlds most northern town. For more than a century, tonnes of coal carved out of the mountain face have fuelled the furnaces that generate electricity for this community of 2,000 people. The power plants towering smokestack spews out a steady, grey cloud that falls as soot. Mixed with coal dust from the mine, it turns snow black. It is a stain not just on the landscape, but on the reputation Norway...
