Europes Carbon Market Crisis: Why Does it Matter?
2013-04-18 23:53:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Geographic: The European Parliament this week voted 334-315 (with 60 abstentions) against a controversial "back-loading" plan that aimed to boost the flagging price of carbon, which since 2008 has fallen from about 31 euros per tonne to about 4 euros (about $5.20). Since the vote, the price has fallen even farther, to 2.80 euros. The collapsing market is hardly the kind of firm foundation needed for building a clean-energy economy. (Related: "Renewable Energy Not Growing as Fast as Necessary," and "IEA Outlook:...

Green energy on the back foot after carbon trading blow
2013-04-18 11:11:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BBC: It's been a bad week for efforts to develop green energy around the world. A new report from the International Energy Agency (IEA) says that progress towards carbon-free energy production has basically stalled. "Despite much talk by world leaders," said IEA executive director, Maria van der Hoeven, "and despite a boom in renewable energy over the last decade, the average unit of energy produced today is basically as dirty as it was 20 years ago." The IEA uses a complex calculation called...

Green tourism: Reducing the carbon footprint of holidaymakers
2013-04-17 17:46:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Each year our desire to get away from it all contributes to around 5% of the world's carbon dioxide emissions. Ignoring the impact of tourism on the environment would be equivalent to ignoring the carbon emissions of a developed industrialised nation. This is why Dr Janet Dickinson and Dr Viachaslau Filimonau from Bournemouth University's School of Tourism are working on ways to reduce the carbon footprint of holidaymakers. Rather than developing punitive taxes or penalties, the research is...
