Shale gas could be lower carbon than imported fuel, say climate advisers
2013-04-24 07:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Shale gas extracted in the UK would be lower carbon than imported gas from countries such as Qatar, and help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions if well regulated, the government's chief climate change advisers have said. But in a report published on Wednesday, the Committee on Climate Change also sounded caution on the prospects for widespread development of shale in the UK. It said that relying heavily on gas would scupper the UK's chances of meeting emissions targets in the longer term, and...
'Carbon bubble' threatens climate negotiations

New Scientist: This could get awkward. We need to stop burning fossil fuels to avoid the risk of dangerous climate change. But limiting the amount we can burn will take a chunk out of the global economy. A non-binding international agreement is in place to try to limit global warming to 2 °C. If it is to be honoured, we can only burn about a quarter of the planet's existing fossil fuel reserves. A new report from the Carbon Tracker Initiative says this would slash the value of the biggest energy companies...

A way to curb global warming: Suck carbon emissions right out of the air?
2013-04-23 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Christian Science Monitor: Efforts to combat global warming, triggered and reinforced by rising levels of carbon dioxide as humans burn fossil fuels and convert forests to farmland, largely focus on preventing CO2 from entering the atmosphere in the first place. But small groups of researchers are pursuing a complementary approach. They are looking for ways to remove CO2 already in the air. On small scales, the approach has been used since the 1930s at dry-ice facilities, as well as to scrub CO2 from the air on submarines...
