Australia: Carbon price abolition will cost $7.4bn over four years

Guardian: Abolishing the carbon price will result in a $7.4bn deterioration in the budget position over the next four years, with the federal government setting aside more than $2bn in 2013-14 to buy back "free permits" allocated to Australia's heavy emitters. The Coalition has pitched its long-running political campaign against carbon pricing squarely in a cost-of-living frame -- arguing the "carbon tax' regime drives up consumer prices. But the mid-year economic forecast released on Tuesday confirm...

EPA Rule Provides a Clear Pathway for Using Carbon Capture and Sequestration Technologies
2013-12-19 06:00:00| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today
U.S. EPA issued final rule that helps create consistent national framework to ensure safe and effective deployment of carbon capture and sequestration technologies. Rule clarifies that carbon dioxide streams captured from emission sources, injected underground via UIC Class VI wells approved for purpose of geologic sequestration under the Safe Drinking Water Act, and meeting certain other conditions, will be excluded from EPA’s hazardous waste regulations.

Forests Flatline On Trapping Carbon Dioxide With Temperature Rise, Study Shows
2013-12-19 04:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
RedOrbit: A four-degree-Celsius rise in the Earths surface temperature could max out the amount of carbon dioxide that forests can trap from the atmosphere, according to new research by a team of European researchers. Rainforests, such as the Amazon, act as natural carbon sinks, using up and storing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air to make food. While humans continue to pump CO2 into the atmosphere, these sinks help maintain a balance by absorbing up to half of the total CO2 emitted globally. The...

Carbon tax an act to stem climate change

Statesman Journal: During the past 21 years, I spent my summers living in Crater Lake National Park, Oregons only national park. I noticed winters becoming shorter, warmer and less snowy. Science confirms this. In 1931, rangers first began keeping track of the average annual snowfall at Crater Lake. Since then, the totals have trended downward by decade from an average of 614 inches in the 1930s to about 455 inches last decade. Even more alarming, this last winter, 2012-13, Crater Lake received about 355 inches....
