  • Global economy gets dirtier for first time in a decade: it's no time to panic

    Updated: 2011-11-07 13:59:00
    Guardian: With energy prices rising, turning household bills into political kryptonite and making the debate ever more fierce, it's worth reminding ourselves what this is all about. It is, first and foremost, about cutting the emissions of greenhouse gases that are dangerously warming our planet down to a level deemed "safe". This is not an optional extra in the energy debate. If you think it is - that climate change is nothing to worry about - then you are on the wild fringes of the debate: not a single...

  • Global carbon intensity on the rise for first time in a decade

    Updated: 2011-11-07 06:00:00
    Business Green: Global emissions output is now outpacing economic growth, meaning that the world's carbon intensity has increased for the first time since 2000. A PwC report to be published today will say that while carbon emissions fell along with the recession-inspired dip in industrial output the trend was reversed in 2010. Last year, global GDP increased 5.1 per cent but emissions grew 5.8 per cent, resulting in a 0.6 per cent rise in carbon intensity, the figure that reflects the level of emissions per...

  • EU energy grid funding must double: think-tank

    Reuters: European Union nations must nearly double investment in power grid building in the decade after 2020 if it is to get on the path to carbon-free electricity by the middle of the century, think-tank the European Climate Foundation (ECF) said on Monday. The European Commission raised the goal of virtually emissions-free electricity in its 2050 road map toward a low carbon economy, published earlier this year, as the means to achieve an 80-95 percent cut in carbon scientists say is needed by then...

  • Canada's climate change plans to fall short, new study says

    Updated: 2011-11-06 23:04:00
    Guelph Mercury: Federal and provincial programs to cut greenhouse gas emissions won’t even get Canada half of the way toward meeting the reduction targets that have been set for 2020. But the fact that they will even go that far is being presented as a sign of progress in a new report. Such are the low expectations surrounding the policies to tackle global warming in the country. The study, by the International Institute for Sustainable Development, a respected, non-partisan environmental think-tank, suggests...

    New York Times: Thousands turned out on Sunday at the White House for a protest against the proposed Keystone XL pipeline, which would carry oil from the tar sands of Alberta some 1,700 miles to Texas. Opponents say that oil sands processing contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, and that the pipeline itself could threaten a precious aquifer.

Most of the dams are planned for hydropower, and over half are considered 'large' projects. The list includes completed dams, one currently under construction, and ones in early planning stages. While dams are often considered 'green' power, those in the tropics emit significant greenhouse gases from vegetation rotting in hydroelectric reservoirs. In fact, a recent study found that a dam in...

  • Last year's greenhouse gas emissions topple worst-case scenario

    Updated: 2011-11-06 17:28:00
    Mongabay: Global carbon emissions last year exceeded worst-case scenario predictions from just four years before, according to the US Department of Energy (DOE). A rise of 6 percent (564 million additional tons) over 2009 levels was largely driven by three nations: the US, India, and China. Emissions from burning coal jumped 8 percent overall. The new data, supported by a similar report from International Energy Agency (IEA), makes it even more difficult for nations to make good on a previous pledge to hold...

    New York Times: The consequences of climate change for animals can seem very direct, as with polar bears in a warming Arctic. Others involve leaps, like the case of an invasive bullfrog: by 2080, it could splash into some of South America’s most ecologically rich protected areas, disrupting unique hotbeds of biodiversity. At least, that`s the prediction of a new study in the journal PLoS One. Worldwide, researchers have increasingly been focusing on how a changing climate has altered or is likely to alter migration...

    Updated: 2011-11-05 14:23:00
    Asian News International: The ability of a plant and its pollinator to survive rapid climate change depends upon the density and distribution of other species in the community, a new study has suggested. Ecologists have known for many years that climate change alters the timing of when plants flower and when insects emerge. If climate change causes species that rely on one another, known as “mutualists”, to be active at different times, then these species may be threatened with extinction. The question that remained...

    Reuters: A row between China and the United States over imports of cheaper solar products won't be the sector's death-knell but will ultimately speed innovation and cut costs, a top U.S. renewable energy official said. Seven U.S. solar manufacturers last month asked the Obama administration to impose duties of more than 100 percent on China solar imports, which they said were unfairly undercutting U.S. prices and destroying American jobs. "It's inevitable. It had to happen. I don't believe that in the...

    Independent: Soaring carbon dioxide emissions from China and the US have driven the world's output of greenhouse gases to its highest level, alarming new figures reveal. Global CO2 emissions in 2010 reached 33.51 billion tonnes, up from 31.63 billion tonnes in 2009 – an increase of nearly 6 per cent. This is believed to be the highest-ever percentage increase year on year, despite growth in many industrial economies being sluggish or non-existent.

  • As Wind Energy Use Grows, Utilities Seek to Stabilize Power Grid

    Updated: 2011-11-05 05:43:00
    New York Times: For decades, electric companies have swung into emergency mode when demand soars on blistering hot days, appealing to households to use less power. But with the rise of wind energy, utilities in the Pacific Northwest are sometimes dealing with the opposite: moments when there is too much electricity for the grid to soak up. So in a novel pilot project, they have recruited consumers to draw in excess electricity when that happens, storing it in a basement water heater or a space heater outfitted...

Scientists had expected that the effect of climate change would be slower in the oceans than on land, due to the amount of energy it takes to heat such large bodies of water. But after studying the changes in temperature on land and in the oceans over 50 years, researchers led by Michael Burrows from the Scottish...

    Reuters: Democrats on Thursday blocked the first major bill in the Senate that would have delayed the Environmental Protection Agency's clean air rules. The bill, which needed 60 votes to pass, got only 47 votes. Joe Manchin from West Virginia, who faces reelection next year, was the lone Democrat to vote for the bill. His state is rich in coal, the fuel that could see added costs from a raft of upcoming EPA rules on power plants and industry. The lone Republican to vote against the bill was Olympia...
