At This Rate, World Will Have to Cease All Carbon Emissions in 2040 to Stay Under 2°C
2014-11-18 06:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Think Progress: By 2040, the world will emit all the carbon it can afford while remaining within safe ranges of climate change, according to a report released last week. Scientists and policymakers have generally settled on 2°C as the amount of global temperature increase, over pre-industrial levels, the climate can take without creating truly dangerous upheavals. Because the effect of carbon in the atmosphere is cumulative, staying below that threshold requires a hard limit on the amount of carbon the world emits...
Ending deforestation won't stop carbon emissions from land use change

Mongabay: Even if the world stopped cutting down forests, carbon dioxide emissions from land use change would still pose a major challenge, according to a new paper in Nature Climate Change. The research finds that eliminating deforestation would mean agriculture would be pushed into non-forest ecosystems and still release significant quantities of carbon dioxide. "While protecting forests to abate climate change is definitely worthwhile, our results illustrate for the first time that forest protection...
Will geoengineering make people give up cutting their carbon footprint?

Guardian: If you thought there was a machine that could magically remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and bury it underground, would you be less likely to worry about reducing your own carbon footprint? The question is not entirely hypothetical. Geoengineering is the catch-all term for a suite of technologies that could one day be used to alter the Earths climate and combat global warming. Most of them are unlikely to ever see the light of day: they are considered too risky, too unpredictable, or...

China climate negotiator defend flexible carbon target
2014-11-14 08:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Agence France-Presse: China's top climate change negotiator on Friday defended the vagueness of Beijing's target to peak carbon emissions "around 2030", suggesting developed nations may need to make more ambitious cuts. China, the world's biggest emitter of carbon dioxide which scientists say causes global warming, has resisted pledging to cut emissions but this week announced a rough date by which it aims to stop them rising. "The state of our economy in 2030 is still uncertain, so as a responsible country we also...
