A more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide, methane emissions leap as Earth warms

2014-03-28 01:45:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

ScienceDaily: While carbon dioxide is typically painted as the bad boy of greenhouse gases, methane is roughly 30 times more potent as a heat-trapping gas. New research in the journal Nature indicates that for each degree that Earth's temperature rises, the amount of methane entering the atmosphere from microorganisms dwelling in lake sediment and freshwater wetlands -- the primary sources of the gas -- will increase several times. As temperatures rise, the relative increase of methane emissions will outpace...

Australian Broadcasting Corporation: Andrew Mackenzie, who took over at BHP in 2013 has called for a price to be put on greenhouse gas emissions to address the threat of global warming. He says the mining industry needs to do more to develop technology to capture and store carbon dioxide. Talking in Houston Texas on the future of fossil fuels and carbon emissions Andrew Mackenzie said BHP needs to think carefully about controlling its carbon emissions. He wants BHP to lead the way. BHP is the world's largest mining company and the third...

Iran plans carbon emissions trading market, official says

2014-02-17 10:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Reuters: Iran plans to set up a carbon trading market to reduce industrial emissions of climate-warming gas, an official from Iran's Fuel Conservation Organization (IFCO) told oil ministry news service Shana. Iran has some of the world's largest gas reserves and is major crude oil exporter. But rapidly rising domestic demand has created a gas supply and vehicle pollution crisis in some cities. Although Iran has some large hydro-power plants, heavy subsidisation of fossil fuels means there is little incentive...

Carbon Emissions Could Climb 29 Percent by 2035

2014-02-07 20:54:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

EcoWatch: The good news, from the climates standpoint, is that while global demand for energy is continuing to grow, the growth is slowing. The bad news is that one energy giant predicts global carbon dioxide emissions will probably rise by almost a third in the next 20 years. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says greenhouse gas emissions need to peak by 2020 and then decline if the world is to hope to avoid global average temperatures rising by more than 2 degrees Celsius over pre-industrial...
