Study unearths impacts of our growing carbon emissions - and it's not pretty
2015-02-26 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mashable: Scientists have directly confirmed what they have long assumed to be true: Increasing amounts of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide, are trapping heat from escaping back into space and are thereby causing global warming. The observations of what is known as radiative forcing were made over the course of 11 years between 2000 and 2010 from two locations in North America, in Oklahoma and the North Slope of Alaska. Highly specialized instruments in both locations were used...

'World can cut carbon emissions and live well'
2015-01-28 14:16:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BBC: Forests around the world will need to be expanded by 5-15% to limit global temperature rises to 2C. And crop yields must rise by 40-60%. These are just two predictions for 2050 of an online tool developed by the government to consider options for cutting carbon emissions. The Global Calculator uses data reviewed by international experts to look at scenarios for meeting the 2C target, which scientists say is needed to avoid dangerous climate change. Led by the Department of Energy and Climate...

Global carbon emissions to rise 2.5% in 2015 - PwC
2015-01-04 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
RTCC: Global greenhouse gas emissions could rise by around 2.5% in 2015, an increase on 2013 levels but lower than the average over the past decade, according to analysts at consultancy firm PwC. Economic momentum around the world is expected to pick up over the coming 12 months, with PwC and the International Monetary Fund predicting growth of 3.5-3.8%, compared to 3.3% in 2014. Global GDP is expected to grow at 3.5% per year, and so if were decarbonising our economy about 0.9% per year, its...
