CleanTechnica: Climate change is the defining challenge of our time carbon pollution from fossil fuels is already affecting the way that people live in real and tangible ways, and it is time to act to protect our way of life. Last year, The Climate Reality Project, founded and chaired by former Vice President Al Gore, ran a 24-hour broadcast called 24 Hours of Reality: The Dirty Weather Report, which showcased some of the worst impacts that extreme weather caused by climate change is having all over the...

Environment News Service: In 2012, U.S. energy-related carbon dioxide emissions were at their lowest level since 1994 and more than 12 percent below the recent 2007 peak, the federal agency that compiles energy statistics announced today. U.S. emissions of CO2, the most prevalent of the greenhouse gases responsible for climate change, declined 3.8 percent in 2012, despite economic growth, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, EIA. Energy-related carbon dioxide emissions have dropped in five out of...

Climate Central: U.S. carbon dioxide emissions related to energy consumption dropped to their lowest point since 1994 last year, according to a U.S. Energy Information Administration report released Monday afternoon. The decline of coal as a power source in favor of natural gas in the U.S. is a big part of that decline, the EIA reported. Natural gas power generation increased by 211.8 billion kilowatt hours in 2012 over 2011, while coal power declined by 215.2 billion kilowatt hours last year. The EIA reported...

USA Today: In a bit of encouraging climate news, the U.S. government reported Monday that U.S. emissions of heat-trapping greenhouse gases from the burning of fossil fuels were lower last year than at any time since 1994. Driven by efficiency gains, an unusually warm winter and a switch from coal to natural gas, energy-related carbon dioxide emissions actually declined 3.8% in 2012 even though the U.S. economy grew 2.8% that year, according to new data by the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the statistical...
