B.C. carbon tax showing positive results
2013-07-26 04:15:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Globe and Mail: British Columbia's carbon tax has resulted in a 17.4-per-cent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, according to a new study being released Wednesday as premiers gather in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ont., to discuss a national energy strategy aimed at - among other things - lowering carbon emissions. The premiers' energy agenda has been dominated by discord: British Columbia opposes a pipeline from Alberta to its coast, while Quebec is embroiled in a dispute with Newfoundland and Labrador over hydroelectric...

Tropical Ecosystems Boost Carbon Dioxide as Temperatures Increase
2013-07-25 23:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World News: Unlike in other parts of the word, tropical ecosystems are capable of generating significant carbon dioxide when temperatures rise, an international team of researchers has found. Specifically, the scientists discovered that a temperature increase of just 1 degree Celsius in near-surface air temperatures in the tropics results in an average annual growth rate of atmospheric carbon dioxide that is equivalent to one-third of the annual global emissions caused by the combustion of fossil fuels and...

Could carbon dioxide be converted to electricity?
2013-07-25 17:13:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mother Nature Network: Here's an interesting idea: What if the carbon dioxide (CO2) produced by power plants while they generate electricity could be converted into a source of additional electricity? That's the idea behind a new paper published this week in the journal Environmental Science & Technology Letters. Written by a team of researchers in the Netherlands, the paper describes how CO2 could be mixed with a fluid electrolyte, generating electrical energy in the process. A press release from the American Chemical...

Developing countries to vastly outpace OECD in carbon emissions
2013-07-25 14:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Energy-related carbon dioxide emissions from developing countries will be 127 percent higher than in the world's most developed economies by 2040, according to figures released Thursday by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). Under the policies currently in place worldwide, carbon emissions will grow 46 percent by 2040 from a 2010 baseline, the EIA projected in its biennial International Energy Outlook. Energy-related emissions will total around 45.5 billion tonnes in 2040, up...
