We either cut global warming or live with it
By Daniel Gros Director of the Centre for European Policy Studies.
Sometimes the most important news is what is not happening.
This summer has given us one such example: the climate change bill, for which the US President Barack Obama had pushed so hard, will not even be presented to the US Senate because it stands no [...]

The permafrost methane problem.
In 2008 when I wrote ZERO Greenhouse Emissions, I included a chapter ‘Mother Natures Super Salesman’ to attempt to get the point across that unless we decarbonise our activities in the short term Mother Nature would kick in some of her stores of carbon and methane. Many other facts were revealed and I would encourage [...]

Will Greenhouse Gas Emissions Increase Or Decrease?
The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) thinks global carbon emissions will increase 43 percent by 2035 if major nations maintain the status quo as far as energy policies go and do not try to stop climate change. The EIA’s 2010 long-term global energy analysis predicts that energy use will increase 49 percent between 2007 and [...]

Total World Coal Consumption in 2008: 7,238,207,000 Short Tons! – Who uses it?
This analysis & posting by Michael Graham Richard of TreeHugger shows us where we are headed with our addiction to burning fossil carbon.
Total World Coal Consumption in 2008: 7,238,207,000 Short Tons!
When it comes to global warming and air pollution, coal is the number one enemy. We were curious to know which countries burned the most, [...]

Paltry’ Copenhagen carbon pledges point to 3C world
Pledges made at December’s UN summit in Copenhagen are unlikely to keep global warming below 2C, a study concludes.
Writing in the journal Nature, analysts at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impacts Research in Germany say a rise of at least 3C by 2100 is likely.
The team also says many countries, including EU members and China, [...]

Copenhagen pledges set Earth for warming
Carbon-curbing pledges under the Copenhagen Accord are likely to doom Earth to warming of three degrees Celsius (5.4 degrees Fahrenheit) or more, compared to the deal’s target of 2C (3.6 F), scientists said on Wednesday.
In an analysis published by the journal Nature, researchers at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) near Berlin said [...]

Global Warming ‘at Point of No Return’
Global warming has reached the point of no return, a study published in the Tuesday edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by a joint team of the U.S., French and Swiss researchers concludes. Even if the world reduces emissions of CO2 to the level before the industrial revolution, it will take [...]
