European carbon market in trouble

Washington Post: As the centerpiece of Europe's pledge to lead the global battle against climate change, the region's market for carbon emissions effectively turned pollution into a commodity that could be traded like gold or oil. But the once-thriving pollution trade here has turned into a carbon bust. Under the system, 31 nations slapped emission limits on more than 11,000 companies and issued carbon credits that could be traded by firms to meet their new pollution caps. More efficient ones could sell excess...

Brisbane Times: Carbon dioxide levels are about to rise to the highest they have been in five million years, triggering warnings a move towards low carbon economies is not happening quick enough. The atmospheric concentration of CO2 is expected to rise to 400 parts per million in the next few days, according to readings at the American government's Earth Systems Research Laboratory in Hawaii. University of Queensland Global Change Institute Director, Professor Ove Hoegh-Guldberg, said there have been few,...
Shaking Things Up: NIST Researchers Propose New Old Way To Purify Carbon Nanotubes

An old, somewhat passé, trick used to purify protein samples based on their affinity for water has found new fans at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), where materials scientists are using it to divvy up solutions of carbon nanotubes, separating the metallic nanotubes from semiconductors.

UN envoys consider 2050 carbon target in talks on climate deal

Bloomberg: Envoys at United Nations global warming talks are considering whether to adopt a target for carbon emissions around 2050 as they struggle to work toward a deal to limit climate change that they aim to adopt in 2015. The delegates from about 190 nations meeting this week in Bonn are discussing whether they could boost ambition by adopting a worldwide goal for the middle of this century backed by interim measures proposed by national governments, said Alden Meyer, policy director at the Union of...
