This gamble on carbon and the climate could trigger a new financial crisis

Guardian: If you want to see market irrationality in action, look no further than current stock market valuations for the world's major oil, gas and coal companies. At a time when governments are supposedly preparing for a global climate change deal that will cut carbon emissions, energy multinationals are investing in carbon assets like there's no tomorrow. Put bluntly, either we're heading for a climate catastrophe, or the carbon asset bubble will go the way of sub-prime mortgage stock. Yesterday's...

Will climate change trigger endless war?

Guardian: A new study published in the journal Science finds that climate change is strongly linked to human violence around the world. Based on more data than ever studied before - and looking at all major regions of the world from the United States to Somalia - the study unearthed a pattern of conflict linked to even minor climatic changes, including increased droughts or higher than average temperatures. The study covered all major types of conflict, from the standard "Intergroup violence and political...

Distant Quakes Trigger Temblors in the Oil Patch: Study
2013-07-12 21:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Daily Climate: Wells filled with waste injection fluids at oil and gas fields across the United States are at risk of small earthquakes triggered by larger temblors across the globe, according to a new study published Thursday. Waste injection wells are on the rise as domestic energy production soars and companies increasingly use water and chemicals to unlock natural gas from shale or force oil from wells, a process known as hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. As oil and gas industries pump waste into sub-surface...
Distant seismic activity can trigger quakes at 'fracking' sites
2013-07-11 13:09:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Powerful earthquakes thousands of miles (km) away can trigger swarms of minor quakes near wastewater-injection wells like those used in oil and gas recovery, scientists reported on Thursday, sometimes followed months later by quakes big enough to destroy buildings. The discovery, published in the journal Science by one of the world's leading seismology labs, threatens to make hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking," which involves injecting fluid deep underground, even more controversial. It comes...
