Developing countries will need $270bn more to adapt to climate change – study
Current pledges to cut carbon emissions will cost developing countries 50% more than if global warming is limited to 2C, Oxfam report says Developing countries will have to pay $270bn extra each year to adapt to the impacts of climate change if global pledges to cut greenhouse gas emissions do not increase, according to a […]
Fact or Fiction?: Geoengineering Can Solve Global Warming
A global deal to combat climate change lurches toward reality in Lima, Peru, this week—and yet any politically feasible agreement will be insufficient to restrain continued warming of global average temperatures, perhaps uncomfortably high. Although recent pledges by China, the 28 countries of the European Union and the U.S. are the first signs of the […]
Large Companies Prepared to Pay Price on Carbon
More than two dozen of the nation’s biggest corporations, including the five major oil companies, are planning their future growth on the expectation that the government will force them to pay a price for carbon pollution as a way to control global warming. The development is a striking departure from conservative orthodoxy and a reflection […]
Scientists expose coal industry’s false claims about “high efficiency” coal: No more room for new unabated coal
A group of 27 scientists from across the world join forces to address the coal industry’s false claim that ‘high efficiency coal’ is a climate solution. In a joint statement, the scientists explain why new coal without carbon capture and storage technology (CCS) would mean dramatically overshooting the agreed 2°C global warming limit. The statement […]
A new global warming culprit: Dam drawdowns
Washington State University researchers have documented an underappreciated suite of players in global warming: dams, the water reservoirs behind them, and surges of greenhouse gases as water levels go up and down. Bridget Deemer, a doctoral student at Washington State University-Vancouver, measured dissolved gases in the water column of Lacamas Lake in Clark County and […]
