Carbon Emissions and Warming: First Direct Mathematical Link Identified
2014-12-02 18:06:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: Most climatologists, ecologists, and even the World Bank have all reached a consensus that climate change is occurring. Experts and policymakers alike have attributed rising concentrations of carbon dioxide to net warming, but finding straightforward evidence of this can be difficult. Now, a team of researchers claims that they have identified, for the first time, how global warming is related to the amount of carbon emitted in a mathematical proof.

In Step Lower Carbon Emissions, China Will Place Limit on Coal Use in 2020

New York Times: China plans to set a cap on coal consumption in 2020, an important step for the country in trying to achieve a recently announced goal of having carbon dioxide emissions peak by around 2030. The State Council, Chinas cabinet, released details of an energy strategy late Wednesday that includes capping coal consumption at 4.2 billion tons in 2020 and having coal be no more than 62 percent of the primary energy mix by that year. Worldwide, coal burning for industrial use is the largest source of...
Ending deforestation won't stop carbon emissions from land use change

Mongabay: Even if the world stopped cutting down forests, carbon dioxide emissions from land use change would still pose a major challenge, according to a new paper in Nature Climate Change. The research finds that eliminating deforestation would mean agriculture would be pushed into non-forest ecosystems and still release significant quantities of carbon dioxide. "While protecting forests to abate climate change is definitely worthwhile, our results illustrate for the first time that forest protection...
UK carbon emissions: Stench of missed targets as Coalition green credentials torn up and thrown out

Independent: The UK is set to miss key targets on carbon emissions, because too many of the countrys most polluting coal-fired power plants are set to stay open far longer than the Government had pledged, a new report warns. Promises to introduce policies that would force coal plants to close have not been fulfilled, says the report by Imperial College London. Ageing coal plants must close by 2025 if the UK is to get anywhere near its legally binding commitment to slash carbon emissions by 60 per cent...
