New Rules Would Cut Emissions From Buses, Big Rigs
2015-06-19 19:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: Big rigs and other medium- and heavy-duty trucks plying U.S. highways may become much more fuel efficient if new rules proposed on Friday by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency are finalized. The rules, submitted as part of the Obama administration's Climate Action Plan, seek to increase the fuel efficiency of big rigs, cut U.S. carbon dioxide emissions by 1 billion metric tons and reduce crude oil consumption by 1.8 billion barrels as a way to reduce the transportation sector's impact on...
New US standards will improve fuel efficiency trucks and cut pollution

Guardian: The Obama administration is issuing new rules intended to improve fuel efficiency for medium and heavy-duty trucks and cut pollution blamed for global warming. The proposed standards are expected to lower carbon dioxide emissions by about 1bn metric tons, cut fuel costs by about $170bn and reduce oil consumption by up to 1.8bn barrels over the lifetime of vehicles sold under the rule. The long-expected rules were announced on Friday, one day after Pope Francis issued a teaching document calling...

EPA seeks cut in truck emissions in latest climate change push
2015-06-19 17:09:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Politico: The Obama administration issued its latest climate change proposal on Friday, calling for a hike in fuel efficiency requirements for heavy-duty trucks in a bid to slash pollution from the vehicles that represent about a fifth of the nations transportation-related greenhouse gas emissions. The proposed EPA rule comes on the heels of its announcement that it planned to regulate greenhouse gas emission from airplanes and just weeks before it unveils the final climate change rules for the nations...
Exclusive: U.S. to set 24 percent emission cut for heavy trucks

Reuters: U.S. regulators on Friday proposed a 24 percent improvement in fuel efficiency for heavy trucks by 2027 as part of the Obama administration's plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The Environmental Protection Agency said the new standards for truck tractors would reduce carbon emissions by a total of 1.1 billion tons (1 billion metric tons) and begin with model year 2021. The regulators also proposed efficiency standards for trailers. If adopted by the federal government next year, the regulations...
Study: Global warming wont cut winter-related deaths

Summit Voice: Even though winters may become warmer as climate change ramps up, it probably won`t result in a big reduction of winter deaths, says a new study that contradicts the conventional wisdom on health impacts of climate change. "For years I`ve been hearing people say that global warming will reduce winter deaths but I wanted to check this claim out for myself," said Columbia University Professor Patrick Kinney. Kinney and his colleagues used statistical methods to pick apart the possible factors...
