In fact, analysis by the architects of the endangerment finding, the EPA, strongly suggests that a 60 percent reduction in carbon-dioxide emissions by 2050 will reduc...

By Johann Hari Nor do any of these schemes deal with the other great problem caused by our greenhouse gas emissions. They are making the oceans more acidic, killing off shell and coral formation at the bottom of the food chain. So even if we somehow blunted the global warming effect, the increased carbon in...

By Max and Carlin How then, to control Chinese — and hence global — carbon emissions? Carbon Dioxide Snatched From The Air Damage To Forests From Climate Change Could Cost The Planet Its Major Keeper Of Greenhouse Gases, Study Warns Cyclones Spurt Water Into Stratosphere, Feeding Global Warming

By lizveazey “Stopping Cliffside is the best thing North Carolina can do to help stop global warming,” said Dr. James Hansen, one of the country’s leading climate scientists. Last week the Environmental Protection Agency ruled that greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide endanger public health and we...

By Suzanne Goldenberg The EPA did not suggest regulations. But the ruling – coupled with Barack Obama's agenda of moving America to a low carbon economy – improves prospects that the US will move this year to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions, possibly through a climate change bill now before Congress. Obama h...

By Max and Carlin By transforming the United States to a low-carbon economy and negotiating a meaningful global climate agreement, Kirk said, the administration would stimulate domestic economic growth while avoiding circumstances in which carbon emissions are exported abroad….

By burping, belching and excreting copious amounts of methane - a greenhouse gas that traps 20 times more heat than carbon dioxide - India’s livestock of roughly 485 million (including sheep and goats) contribute more to global warming than the vehicles they obstruct. ...

By Joe Romm With more than 2.3 billion tons of cement produced each year, reversing the carbon-balance of the world's cement would be a solution that's the scale of the world's climate change problem. Thoughts? This piece originally appeared in Climate Progress.

By Emily Gertz Ethanol Backers Abandon Green Pretenses: Ethanol investors met with Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger this week in an effort to derail California’s far-reaching proposal to slash carbon emissions from transportation fuels...[T]he rule would be the first in the nation to restrict planet-hea...

By Joe I have argued that stabilizing atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide at 450 ppm or lower is not politically possible today, but that it is certainly achievable from an economic and technological perspective (see Part 1). I do, however, believe humanity will do it since the alter...

Such a declaration by the Environmental Protection Agency would be the first step to regulating carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases under the US Clean Air Act and could have broad economic and environmental ramifications.

By Joe Business-as-usual typically means continuing at recent growth rates of carbon dioxide emissions, which we now know would take us to atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide greater than 1000 ppm (see U.S. media largely ignores latest warning from climate scientists: “Recent obs...

By David Adam The Tyndall Centre report analyses the conclusions of the Committee on Climate Change (CCC), which said in December that ministers should aim to cut UK carbon emissions 34% by 2020, as part of worldwide efforts to limit temperature rise to 2C.

By David Adam They said carbon emissions have risen more in recent years than anyone thought possible, and the world's natural carbon stores could be losing the ability to soak up human pollution. · Modest warming could unleash a carbon "time bomb" from Arctic soils.

By Alok Jha Climate expert claims to have developed cleanest way of fixing CO2 in 'biochar' for burial on an industrial scale Johannes Lehmann of Cornell university has calculated that it is realistically possible to fix 9.5bn tonnes of carbon per year using biochar. The global production of carbon...

By Jon Dennis, Phil Maynard, Tim Maby If Barack Obama commits America to the deep carbon cuts needed to tackle global warming, he'll face a revolution, Rajendra Pachauri, head of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, tells environment correspondent David Adam.

By JR(noreply@blogger.com) Russia is one of the biggest producers of carbon dioxide as it burns vast amounts of oil and gas to heat houses during the bitter months where temperatures regularly fall below minus 50 degrees Celsius (minus 58 degrees Fahrenheit).

By Juliette Jowit The DECC said total emissions for the six key greenhouse gases in 2007 were 636.6m tonnes, down 1.7% from 647.9m in 2006. This included a reduction in carbon dioxide - which makes up 85% of the UK's greenhouse emissions - to 542.6m tonnes, down 1.5%. Emissions from transport and industrial proces...

By cheaplikeme This is especially good considering news that was released on NPR today that global warming is irreversible, for practical purposes — meaning that we should reduce our carbon dioxide emissions NOW to try to have a positive influence for people in, oh, a thousand years. Good news on the car...

By JR(noreply@blogger.com) How far do politicians believe they can push the global-warming scam? We know, after his inauguration, Barack Obama intends to officially classify carbon dioxide as a "dangerous pollutant." After such a declaration, his actions will reveal whether he truly views carbon dioxide as a th...

When New Yorkers switch on their lights next year, they will be part of a 10-state effort to fight global warming by reducing carbon dioxide produced by the manufacture of electricity. The Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative works by treating CO2 as a tradeable commodity, and it makes ele...

WASHINGTON – California's Mary Nichols has an idea for how Washington can respond to global warming: Start with the Environmental Protection Agency. She has helped lead the state's efforts to cut its greenhouse gas emissions and has criticized the EPA for its refusal to regulate carbon...

By Jon Dennis, Andy Duckworth, Tim Maby The UN summit on climate change is under way in Poznan, Poland. Stavros Dimas, the European commissioner for the environment, says Europe would be prepared to become virtually carbon-free in order to secure a new deal to replace the Kyoto Protocol. Environment correspondent David Adam t...

By David Adam It says developed nations including Britain, the US and Australia, would have to slash carbon dioxide emissions by 5% each year over the next decade to hit the 450ppm target. Britain's Climate Change Act 2008, the most ambitious legislation of its kind in the world, calls for reductions o...

By David Roberts If that's not enough to sour your Obamamania, get a load of this: Obama, who is sponsoring separate legislation to cap carbon dioxide emissions, said his support for coal fuel depended on finding a way to remove the greenhouse gases emitted in production.
