Politico: EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy defended the Obama administration's climate plan Wednesday as a necessary force to shift to a lower-carbon energy future -- but didn't dispute lawmakers' suggestions that it will place new burdens on coal. McCarthy and Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz declined to offer details about the proposed greenhouse gas standards for future power plants that EPA is scheduled to release this week. But the pair did nothing during Wednesday's House climate hearing to counter the...

New insight on how tropical forests capture carbon
2013-09-17 17:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environmental News Network: Tropical forests are important globally in removing carbon from the atmosphere. It has been assumed that the tress were the mechanism that made this work. New research from Princeton University has shed insight on the importance of bacteria that co-exist with the trees have in absorbing atmospheric carbon. A unique housing arrangement between a specific group of tree species and a carbo-loading bacteria may determine how well tropical forests can absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, according...

The era of unlimited carbon pollution is over
2013-09-17 04:10:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Politico: The EPA is ready to roll out an updated version of proposed federal limits on how much carbon pollution can be released into the sky by future power plants. Already, critics say this pollution prevention initiative will ban construction of new coal-fired power plants. But if they can't build one without dumping unlimited amounts of carbon pollution into the air -- from the view of our economy and our health -- that's not a bad thing. We've also heard this argument before. The auto industry once...
