New York Times: New York’s charged debate over the natural gas extraction process known as hydrofracking will soon move to the face-to-face stage. At hearings set for November, pro- and anti-drilling forces will get a chance to address state regulators directly. New York’s Department of Environmental Conservation, which is tasked with regulating the drilling, has announced that it will hold public hearings in four places — New York City, Dansville, Binghamton and Loch Sheldrake — on its draft environmental impact...
Inter Press Service: Climate change is increasingly playing a role in North-South trade, as carbon emissions are being used as an excuse to protect markets, with poorer countries likely to lose out.
A few months before the 17th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Durban, South Africa, there is little hope of a binding agreement on greenhouse gas emissions.
It is unlikely that the Kyoto Protocol, whose binding emission cuts for developed nations are set to lapse...

Globe and Mail: Canadians face a high economic cost from the impact of a warming global climate, and the country should act quickly to reduce the financial price by investing in adaptation measures, a federal advisory panel warns.
In a report released Thursday, the National Roundtable on the Environment and Economy forecasts that climate change will have a variety of increasingly harmful impacts, from flooding in low-lying coastal regions and threats to Canada's timber supply, to health problems caused by worsening...

Telegraph: The prediction comes in a report which shows that the country's carbon footprint is expanding far faster than predicted.
A combination of an infrastructure building spree and the ramping up of carbon-intensive industries after the 2008 financial crisis means China is now being catapulted into the ranks of developed world countries when it comes to per person CO2 emissions.
China already emits more carbon per person than France and Spain and on current trends will surpass the United States in...
SciDev.Net: Rising costs and re-evaluated risks make nuclear power a poor choice, even for developing nations that can afford it, says José Goldemberg.
There are 440 nuclear reactors operating around the world, providing about 14 per cent of the world's electricity supply. Most were installed 30--40 years ago, when the relative cost of producing nuclear energy made it an attractive option.
After 1985, lower petroleum costs, combined with concerns over nuclear safety (raised by the nuclear accidents at...
SciDev.Net: SciDev.Net reporters from around the world tell us which countries are set on developing nuclear energy despite the Fukushima accident.
The quest for energy independence, rising power needs and a desire for political weight all mean that few developing countries with nuclear ambitions have abandoned them in the light of the Fukushima accident.
Jordan's planned nuclear plant is part of a strategy to deal with acute water and energy shortages.
The Jordan Atomic Energy Commission (JAEC) wants...

ScienceDaily: Researchers with the U.S Department of Energy (DOE)'s Joint BioEnergy Institute (JBEI) have identified a potential new advanced biofuel that could replace today's standard fuel for diesel engines but would be clean, green, renewable and produced in the United States.
Using the tools of synthetic biology, a JBEI research team engineered strains of two microbes, a bacteria and a yeast, to produce a precursor to bisabolane, a member of the terpene class of chemical compounds that are found in plants...
Mongabay: After two weeks of sustained protesting at the US White House against the Keystone XL pipeline, with 1,252 people arrested, civil disobedience has now spread to Canada, home of the tar sands. Yesterday, around 500 people protested in Ottawa against Canada's controversial tar sands; 117 were arrested as they purposefully crossed a barrier separating them from the House of Commons in an act of civil disobedience.
One of those arrested, Maude Barlow, chairperson of the environmental NGO Council of...

New York Times: The nation`s persistent reliance on oil poses long-term hazards, an analysis says.
Research on solar and wind power is all well and good, but a self-assessment by the Department of Energy has found that in the great scheme of energy needs, the government is not investing enough in transportation energy, an area in which those renewable power sources do not play a role.
“Reliance on oil is the greatest immediate threat to U.S. economic and national security, and also contributes to the long-term...
Common Dreams: When the World Commission on Dams reviewed the development effectiveness of dams, multipurpose projects with large dams, power plants and irrigation schemes had the worst social, environmental and economic track record. As the world is grappling for appropriate answers to climate change, influential actors such as the World Bank want to give these complex schemes a second chance. They are wrong. While we need to integrate the concerns of climate change, water, energy and food security, we don't need...
New York Times: In Tuesday`s Times, I write about the flaring of natural gas from pipes, pits and hundreds of oil wells in the Bakken shale field of North Dakota and Montana, which emits a couple of million tons of carbon dioxide annually. It`s a big waste and it contributes to global warming, as even oil executives concede.
A full 30 percent of the natural gas produced in North Dakota is now being flared, compared with about 2 percent typically at other fields around the country.
Regulations on flaring are...
New York Times: To most humans, so far, climate change is still more of an idea than an experience. For other species, it is an immediate reality. Many will be left behind as the climate alters, unable to move quickly enough or with nowhere to move to. Others are already adapting. An iconic example of these swift changes is the recent discovery that Atlantic and Pacific populations of bowhead whales -- long kept apart by the frozen Arctic -- are now overlapping in the open waters of the Northwest Passage.

Time: The watchword for the week at the Clinton Global Initiative's (CGI) annual summit in Manhattan this week has been "efficiency." (It narrowly beats out "traffic," which is what you'll be caught in trying to get anywhere in the city for the next few days.) I wrote about an industry consortium led by the Carbon War Room that will channel hundreds of millions of dollars towards retrofitting existing buildings, and today the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), Goldman Sachs and several real estate...
