Global Warming: Carbon Emissions Sure to Prompt Rise of Sea Levels to Three Feet by 2100

International Business Times: Unless the governments of the world find immediate solutions to curb their respective fossil fuel consumptions and carbon emissions, the global populace might as well retire to an impending plausible scenario of rising sea levels by year 2100 to as much as three feet high. A draft report by the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) highly noted that such activities are highly controllable or avoidable because these are results of human decisions. "It is extremely likely that...

New Zealand reduces carbon emissions target

Reuters: New Zealand scaled back its target for reducing carbon emissions on Friday, saying the move was an interim step ahead of a new United Nations pact from 2020. The government said it would commit to cutting greenhouse gas emissions to 5 percent below 1990 levels by 2020. It had previously indicated that it would look at a cut of 10 percent to 20 percent. "In deciding this target, the government has carefully balanced the cost to New Zealand households and businesses against taking ambitious action...

Leaked Climate Change Authority report calls on Australia to triple 2020 carbon emissions cuts target

ABC: One of the Government's key advisory bodies on climate change says Australia should triple its 2020 target for cutting carbon emissions. A leaked report to the Government from the independent Climate Change Authority says Australia should aim to cut emissions by 15 per cent of 2000 levels by 2020. That is up from the 5 per cent figure agreed to as a target by both sides of politics. The report says the cuts should ramp up to 40 per cent cut by 2030, and 90 per cent by 2050. The Gillard government...

Cheap carbon offsets could strengthen aviation emissions goals

2013-08-01 09:11:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Responding to Climate Change: The aviation industry can achieve its goal of carbon neutral growth from 2020 by using the available supply of low cost carbon credits. According to new analysis by Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF), the cost of adopting a market based system of carbon offsetting could add as little as $2 to a typical one way fare. This, say the authors of the study, could encourage the industry to adopt more ambitious targets in aviation emission reduction. What weve done is count up the number of potential...
