Denver Post: ION Engineering CEO Alfred Brown stands in the pilot machine his company has created to separate carbon dioxide from industrial emissions. (Erin Hull, The Denver Post)Related StoriesNov 24:Buildup of CO2 in atmosphere tied to use of fossil fuels Coal has been tagged the bad boy of fossil fuels -- releasing a host of pollutants -- and the utility industry has worked to clean up its act. Scrubbers have been added to remove acid-rain-causing sulfur dioxide, burners to cut ozone-forming nitrogen oxides...

Warsaw Talks Ignore IPCC Carbon Budget Approach
2013-11-21 23:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: The idea of a finite "carbon budget' -- a key part of the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's recent assessment of climate change -- have been ignored at the ongoing climate talks in Warsaw, which end on Friday, in favor of what some scientists say are piecemeal emissions cuts that are less likely to solve the problem. By framing the issue in terms of a carbon budget based around cumulative emissions, the IPCC's most recent report showed that it doesn't necessarily matter what short-term...

U.N. climate talks shun carbon budget shareout as too radical

Reuters: Governments are shying away from their own warnings that the world has only a fast-shrinking budget of carbon emissions left to use to avoid damaging global warming, frightened off at U.N. climate talks by the radical cuts it would require. To keep warming to a level that most have defined as manageable, developed nations would have roughly to halve their greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 from 2010 levels, far beyond most governments' plans, said Niklas Hoehne of research group Ecofys. The global...

How China's action on air pollution is slowing its carbon emissions
2013-11-21 17:58:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: It's been a week of mostly bad news for the planet but there may be a small glimmer of hope as new research shows the growth of emissions from China, the world's biggest emitter, may be slowing due to its efforts to clean up the air pollution problem in many of its cities. The United Nations climate change talks in Warsaw are so far not making sufficient progress to ensure the agreed goal of keeping global temperature increases to below 2C and new research shows that global CO2 emissions from...
