China effort to store carbon dioxide costly, but attempt must be made
2014-05-04 15:37:21| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Seattle Times: Finding a way to corral and store carbon dioxide emissions, rather than vent those into the atmosphere, is considered among the most important strategies for limiting coal's contribution to climate change. Yet that technology is expensive, and requires substantial amounts of additional energy to separate, compress and pump carbon to storage sites. The United States and the European Union nations have been slow to move forward with large-scale carbon capture. So has China, where development...
April carbon dioxide levels above landmark 400ppm threshold for entire month

Blue and Green: For the first time in at least 800,000 years, the average level of carbon dioxide in Earths atmosphere exceeded 400 parts per million (ppm) for a full month in April. Measurements made at a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) observatory in Hawaii showed that the monthly average in April reached 401.33ppm. The Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California which runs the observatory -- says it is the first time in human history that levels of the greenhouse...

Chinas coal solution has carbon downside across globe
2014-05-04 00:33:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Seattle Times: The new coal plant here is an industrial fortress of boilers, tanks and towers that stretches across a lonely plateau in Inner Mongolia. All day long and through the night, it vents huge gray clouds of steam and emits an awful stench. Though it may seem odd, this is part of China's campaign to combat the nation's notorious urban smog. The plant transforms low-grade coal into a cleaner-burning methane gas that can be piped to cities, replacing dirtier fuels that now are used to cook meals, heat...

Carbon fiber and biomaterials - The Biofore Concept Car
2014-05-03 21:23:48| Paper - Topix.net
The Biofore Concept car was unveiled at this years Geneva Motor Show. Seeing that almost nobody has written anything about it on Jalopnik or here I thought I'd write something about it despite the fact that I suck at writing.

India drafts policy to cut carbon emissions from deforestation
2014-05-03 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: India, one of the world's largest polluters, has drafted a national policy aimed at reducing its carbon emissions from deforestation as part of a global scheme which financially rewards developing nations for carbon stored through forest preservation. But some environmentalists are sceptical, saying the move is unlikely to yield results as previous compensation schemes have not led to serious cuts in emissions. India has the tenth largest forest coverage in the world. It is also the world's...
