RSSNew data show that the balance between the airborne and the absorbed fraction of carbon dioxide has stayed approximately constant since 1850, despite emissions of carbon dioxide having risen from about 2 billion tons a year in 1850 to 35 billion tons a year now. This suggests that terrestrial ecosystems and the oceans have a [...]
The FT carries a story today that demonstrates the close link between CO2 emissions and economic growth. Spun by the FT as carbon-climate claptrap, the International Energy Agency (IEA) reports and unparalleled fall in CO2 emissions, mainly due to falling industrial output, which will exceed even the 1981 recession driven by the oil crisis. The IEA sees [...]
FRANKFURT, Aug 10 (Reuters) – Global carbon dioxide emissions in 2008 rose 1.94 percent year-on-year to 31.5 billion tonnes, German renewable energy industry institute IWR said on Monday, based on official information and its own research. The private institute, which is based in Muenster and advises German ministries, said climate-harming carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions rose [...]
The first post on Roger Pielke Jr’s new blog on 14th June looked at CO2 emissions targets in terms of absolute emissions: If the world wants to achieve an 80% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions below 1990 levels this really means returning to 1939 levels of emissions. For the US, a 17% reduction in carbon [...]
A new report says treaties aimed at reducing CO2 emissions are useless. The Institution of Mechanical Engineers report says we have to accept the world could change dramatically. It also says we should start planning our major infrastructure now to accommodate more extreme weather events and sea level rises. While not against attempts to reduce [...]
BEIJING (AFP) — China is aiming to increase its coal production by about 30 percent by 2015 to meet its energy needs, the government has announced, in a move likely to fuel concerns over global warming.
According to Roger Pielke Jr on his Prometheus blog, World Energy Outlook 2008 has been released by the IEA. Cutting to the chase, can atmospheric CO2 be stabilised at 450 ppmv using existing technology? The IEA says NO: “The scale of the challenge in the 450 Policy Scenario is immense: the 2030 emissions level for [...]
