U.S. Carbon Dioxide Emissions Down 11%
2013-10-03 16:11:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: Carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels in the U.S. peaked at more than 1.6 billion tons of carbon in 2007. Since then they have fallen 11 percent, dropping to over 1.4 billion tons in 2013, according to estimates from the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Emissions shrank rapidly during the recession, then bounced back slightly as the economy recovered. But shifting market conditions, pollution regulations and changing behaviors are also behind the decline. Oil is the largest...

Quartz: Efforts to create a national carbon market in the US to cut greenhouse gas emissions may be deader than bipartisanship in Washington.

Guardian: The oceans are more acidic now than they have been for at least 300m years, due to carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels, and a mass extinction of key species may already be almost inevitable as a result, leading marine scientists warned on Thursday. An international audit of the health of the oceans has found that overfishing and pollution are also contributing to the crisis, in a deadly combination of destructive forces that are imperilling marine life, on which billions of people...
Cookstove carbon credit sales quadruple in 2012: report
2013-10-03 07:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Developers of low-carbon cookstove projects sold four times more carbon offsets in 2012 compared to the year prior, with the credits continuing to yield a hefty premium over the bulk of U.N.-backed offsets, a report showed. Developers of projects that distribute energy efficient cookstoves sold 16.9 million carbon credits last year, said the Sept. 25 report commissioned by the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves. "Anecdotal evidence suggests that 2012's quadrupling in cookstove offsets contracted...
