PhysOrg: The politically expedient way to mitigate climate change is essentially no way at all, according to a comprehensive new study by University of Chicago climatologist Raymond Pierrehumbert. Among the climate pollutants humans put into the atmosphere in significant quantities, the effects of carbon dioxide (CO2) are the longest-lived, with effects on climate that extend thousands of years after emissions cease. But finding the political consensus to act on reducing CO2 emissions has been nearly impossible....

Australia to 'Fail' in Achieving Carbon Emission Reduction Targets Due to Shortfall
2014-06-13 04:29:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Business Times: Prime Minister Tony Abbott is attempting to undo what his predecessors have done to reduce carbon emissions. The Abbott government is moving to abolish the carbon tax and replace it with the Direct Action plan. Reputex, a major carbon market analysis firm in Australia, said the Abbott government's proposed Emissions Reduction Fund is not enough to meet the country's target of cutting emissions to 5 per cent below 2000 levels by 2020. When Australia misses its mark, it will also fail to meet its...
