China gets tough on carbon
2013-06-12 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature: China, responsible for about one-quarter of the worlds carbon dioxide emissions, has ambitious goals to reduce them -- but has been unwilling to set absolute targets for fear of slowing economic growth. There are now signs that its position is changing. On 18 June, the country will launch an emissions-trading scheme in the southern city of Shenzhen, marking its first attempt to cut emissions using market mechanisms. Under the scheme, more than 630 industrial and construction companies will be...

What's Behind the New Warning on Global Carbon Emissions?
2013-06-11 23:19:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Geographic: If the world waits until 2020 to take action on global climate change, it will undoubtedly be too late, the International Energy Agency (IEA) warns in a new report. However, the Paris-based agency, which is tasked with maintaining global energy security, identified four proven policies, each relying on current technology, that could be implemented immediately. (See quiz: "What You Don't Know About World Energy.") These efforts could keep the world on track while nations work toward a more comprehensive...

Wood not so green a biofuel? Logging may have greater impact on carbon emissions than previous
2013-06-11 21:33:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Science Daily: Using wood for energy is considered cleaner than fossil fuels, but a Dartmouth College-led study finds that logging may release large amounts of carbon stored in deep forest soils. Global atmospheric studies often don't consider carbon in deep (or mineral) soil because it is thought to be stable and unaffected by timber harvesting. But the Dartmouth findings show deep soil can play an important role in carbon emissions in clear-cutting and other intensive forest management practices. The findings...
