Guardian: Carbon emissions from the electricity grid rose after the repeal of the carbon price, with analysts predicting further increases as coal-fired power takes a greater share of Australias energy mix. In the year to August 2014, emissions were 1m tonnes higher when compared with the year to June 2014. This is equivalent to an increase of 0.8% in emissions. The data from the National Electricity Market, which covers about 80% of Australias population, shows that the leap in emissions is the largest...

Associated Press: The much-debated Keystone XL pipeline could produce four times more global warming pollution than the State Department calculated earlier this year, a new study concludes. The US estimates didnt take into account that the added oil from the pipeline would drop prices by about $3 a barrel, spurring consumption that would create more pollution, the researchers said. The researchers estimate that the proposed pipeline, which would carry oil from tar sands in western Canada to refineries on the...
