Australia: World's largest carbon capture begins even as Abbott tax repeal looms
2013-09-11 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Prime minister-elect Tony Abbott has pledged to repeal the country's carbon tax to boost economic competitiveness, so it is ironic that Australia is about to host the world's most ambitious project for capturing carbon dioxide and storing it underground. Starting in 2014/15, Chevron will begin injecting 120 million tonnes of pressurised supercritical carbon dioxide 2.5 kilometres underground as part of its giant Gorgon LNG project. Raw gas from the Gorgon field contains about 14 per cent carbon...

Reuters: The food the world wastes accounts for more greenhouse gas emissions than any country except for China and the United States, the United Nations said in a report on Wednesday. Every year about a third of all food for human consumption, around 1.3 billion tons, is wasted, along with all the energy, water and chemicals needed to produce it and dispose of it. Almost 30 percent of the world's farmland, and a volume of water equivalent to the annual discharge of the River Volga, are in effect being...

Australians elect climate denier who pledges to dump carbon tax
2013-09-09 17:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Grist: In the national election held on Saturday, Australian voters faced a big choice on climate policy - a choice between fairly good and downright evil, as we explained earlier this summer. The Aussies opted for evil. Tony Abbott, the climate-denying politician who had pledged to kill a carbon tax and other climate initiatives introduced by the Labor Party government, will soon be the country`s prime minister. The Abbott-led conservative coalition of the Liberal and National parties (note the capital...
