China outsources carbon emissions
2013-06-11 12:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BBC: China is outsourcing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions within its own borders, a study has found. This is much like the way in which rich countries in the West have long turned to China to produce cheap goods, thereby outsourcing dirty emissions. Poorer areas such as Inner Mongolia produced 80% of CO2-related emissions for goods used in richer coastal areas such as Beijing and Shanghai.

Scientists have said that the rise in global average temperature needs to be limited to less than 2 degrees...

Bloomberg: The European Union needs to think of other ways to prevent new coal-fired power stations from being built because its carbon market wont achieve that this decade, according to the International Energy Agency. Nations should consider measures including bans of new and inefficient plants known as sub-critical, unless they are fitted with carbon capture and storage technology, Maria Van der Hoeven, the executive director of the Paris-based agency that advises 28 developed nations, said today in...
