Earth has 30 years before carbon budget is blown

RTCC: Governments have 30 years left before the chance of avoiding dangerous levels of global warming is lost, say scientists in a new report. They warn that at current emission rates the levels of atmospheric greenhouse gases will lock in warming of above 2C by the mid-2040s. And despite global calls to curb fossil fuel use, last year the scientists say emissions from fossil fuel combustion and cement grew 2.3% to a record high of 36.1 billion tonnes. Next year they predict emissions will rise...
Q&A: Chevron's CEO on oil, carbon, exports
2014-09-21 22:35:42| Oil & Gas - Topix.net
The oil giant boss says more U.S. pipelines are needed, and a carbon tax won't work without global participation. John Watson, CEO of one of the world's largest energy companies, spoke last week in Minneapolis about rising U.S. oil and gas production, the need for new pipelines and the case for allowing U.S. crude oil exports.
Two Decades Until Carbon Budget Is Eaten Through

Climate Central: If the planet's carbon budget, which is the amount of fuel we can burn, concrete we can pour and forest we can fell without blowing global warming goals, was a giant cake, then we'd all be running out of dessert -- fast. We've got about a third left. We've been eating into the carbon budget since the Industrial Revolution. Just nibbling at first, but now with record relish. Figures published Sunday warn delegates attending Tuesday's U.N. Climate Summit in New York that, at the rate we're going,...

China's per capita carbon emissions overtake EU's
2014-09-21 19:43:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BBC: New data on carbon shows that China's emissions per head of population have surpassed the EU for the first time. The researchers say that India is also forecast to beat Europe's CO2 output in 2019. Scientists say that global totals are increasing fast and will likely exceed the limit for dangerous climate change within 30 years. The world has already used up two thirds of the warming gases researchers calculate will breach 2 degrees C. The Global Carbon Project involves researchers from...

China drives world carbon emissions to record high
2014-09-21 19:15:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: World carbon dioxide emissions will hit a record high this year, driven by China's growth and keeping the world far off track from the deep cuts needed to limit climate change, a study said on Sunday. More than half of proven fossil fuel reserves may have to stay in the ground if governments are serious about a promise made in 2010 to limit a rise in average temperatures to 2 degrees Celsius (3.6F) above pre-industrial times, the Global Carbon Project report by leading research institutes said....
