Reuters: China's carbon emissions did not peak in 2014 and are still increasing, China's senior climate change envoy, Xie Zhenhua, said at a press briefing in Beijing on Monday. Xie said the government's pledge that emissions would peak "around 2030" is based on national conditions and has a direct relationship with the country's stage of economic development. A study published on Monday said China's emissions, the world's highest, may have peaked in 2014.

China's carbon emissions may have peaked already, says Lord Stern

Guardian: Carbon emissions may have peaked already in China, years earlier than its leaders pledged, according to a study co-authored by the world-renowned economist Lord Stern. The countrys emissions have fallen, partly as a result of its globally relevant economic slowdown, and partly owing to government policies to pursue a low-carbon path and reduce the rampant air pollution in its major cities. If this trend continues it would show that the countrys emissions have already peaked, said Fergus Green,...

Renew Economy: As Australias carbon emissions continue to grow, a new study has predicted that Chinas will likely peak before 2025 five years ahead of schedule and five years ahead of Australias 2030 target of cutting emissions by 26-28 per cent below 2005 levels. The paper, published on Monday by the Grantham Research Institute, said recent data showed that Chinas emissions were lower in 2015 than the year before, and that they may even have peaked already, in 2014 a year before the target to peak emissions...

Washington considers nation's first carbon emissions tax
2016-02-28 14:49:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: Washington could become the first state in the nation to impose a direct tax on carbon emissions from fossil fuels such as coal, gasoline and natural gas. A ballot measure before the state Legislature would create a carbon tax of $25 per metric ton of fossil fuel emissions burned in Washington, while reducing taxes. Lawmakers have until the end of the session on March 10, to enact Initiative 732, offer an alternative proposal or automatically pass the carbon-tax measure to voters in November...

Effects of carbon emissions could last 10,000 years, study finds
2016-02-09 08:59:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Christian Science Monitor: If humans dont cut carbon emissions soon, the Earth could feel the catastrophic impact for tens of thousands of years, a new study has found. In a shift from climate change analyses that focus on the phenomenons effects in the 21st century, researchers from an array of universities in the United States and Europe took the long view in their new study, released online Monday in the journal, Nature Climate Change. The findings suggest that the consequences of fossil fuels burned today could last...
