Global Carbon Emissions & Sinks Since 1750
2013-06-21 10:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
CleanTechnica: The world reached a grim milestone recently, with atmospheric concentrations at the historic Mauna Loa observatory hitting the 400 parts per million mark due to ever increasing global carbon emissions. While this event rightly got the media coverage it deserved, rarely do we stop to appreciate the incredible job land and ocean sinks have played in ensuring this figure isnt significantly higher. Using data for all sources and sinks of human carbon emissions over the last 262 years this post highlights...

China takes cautious step toward carbon emissions trading

Reuters: China launched its first pilot carbon emissions exchange on Tuesday, though plans for a nationwide rollout and efforts to apply the scheme to some polluting heavy industries could be undermined by a slowdown in the world's No.2 economy. High-emission industries such as aluminum and steel are likely to resist higher costs as they are already battling weak prices due to tepid demand and a persistent supply gut. "It is a very big concern for Beijing and for local governments - how to strike a...

At issue is a proposed new $15-million coal terminal at Fraser Surrey Docks under review by Port Metro Vancouver, which will handle electricity-generating coal from Wyoming destined for Asia. While the only issue Metro Vancouver has jurisdiction over at the proposed terminal is air quality, board directors noted greenhouse gas emissions...

China outsources carbon emissions
2013-06-11 12:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BBC: China is outsourcing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions within its own borders, a study has found. This is much like the way in which rich countries in the West have long turned to China to produce cheap goods, thereby outsourcing dirty emissions. Poorer areas such as Inner Mongolia produced 80% of CO2-related emissions for goods used in richer coastal areas such as Beijing and Shanghai. The scientists, writing in PNAS, are concerned this trend will spread. That is, if China continues to...
