Barack Obama has worked to ensure that our nation's environmental laws and policies balance America's need for a healthy, sustainable environment with economic growth. He has reached across the aisle to sponsor ambitious legislation to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions and turn this crisis of global warming into a moment …
European companies are not yet taking full advantage of carbon markets IT SOMETIMES seems that plans for emissions trading are piling up even faster than the greenhouse gases they are designed to curb. In late July the first emissions exchanges in Australia and Canada opened, in anticipation of mandatory carbon-trading …
This paper identifies structural limitations within the current configuration of the CDM; puts forward a set of innovative proposals for addressing those shortcomings in the near term; and outlines a new market-based framework that can, in the medium term, strengthen and ultimately succeed the CDM.
Agriculture and food systems play an important role in fossil fuel consumption and climate change because of their significant energy use and because of agriculture
This paper makes a powerful case for enlightened leadership from India's political class on climate change. Calling it the challenge of a generation, it argues that climate change must be re-framed not as an agenda of fear and entitlement, but of growth and opportunity. Addressing it now could be the …
A Dutch study has said that China has become world's biggest producer of greenhouse gases, outdoing the us by 8 per cent. The Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency on June 19 said industrial China's carbon emissions rose by 9 per cent in 2006. Globally, fossil fuel emissions have gone up by …
a new study in a high carbon content paddy field of West Bengal has questioned India's projected methane emission levels, suggesting that if rigorous research is carried out in the eastern and north-eastern parts of the country on high carbon agricultural land, our methane emission figures might actually go up …
Slag is a by-product of steel. It contains about 30-35 per cent calcium oxide, 35-38 per cent silica, 10-18 per cent aluminium oxide and 7-10 per cent magnesium oxide. Slag, generated from manufacture of pig iron, is granulated and called blast furnace slag. It is non-biodegradable. One tonne of slag …
Statements from key players USA: President Bush announced on May 31 that the US and "other nations will set a long-term global goal for reducing greenhouse gases'. The US will convene meetings with countries that produce most greenhouse gases. "It's important to ensure we get results, and so we will …
Despite the president's change of heart, carbon policy remains contentious A SK Washington's pundits about America's future policy on global warming, and most of them will tell you that things are changing too quickly to make firm predictions. Who, after all, could have foreseen that George Bush would overcome his …

China and Australia unveil new policies on global warming Governments that do not want to do anything about global warming often point to China, which will soon become the biggest source of the greenhouse gases that are heating up the planet. What point is there cutting back on our own …
Climate models and satellite observations both indicate that the total amount of water in the atmosphere will increase at a rate of 7% per kelvin of surface warming. However, the climate models predict that global precipitation will increase at a much slower rate of 1 to 3% per kelvin. A …
Global warming represents a major threat for food security, especially in tropical countries. It is expected that global warming will worsen the drought and the irregularity of rainfall in many countries. Mitigating the emissions of greenhouse gases is therefore an important challenge that can significantly contribute to improving food security. …
Sustainable transport projects in general reduce GHG emissions. Such projects could thus qualify for the CDM and benefit from the sale of GHG offsets. This makes good projects economically more attractive and reduces barriers towards their successful implementation. The CDM can constitute an important additional revenue source for sustainable transport …
A pill can now help cows stop burping and thereby cut a significant amount of methane emissions into the atmosphere and contribute to checking global warming. Known as bolus, the plant-based pill has been developed by scientists from the University of Hohenheim, Germany, and can reduce the amount of methane …
Delhi 2020: They are already calling it the year without winter. From January itself, temperatures across northern India have soared to 35 degrees Celsius. Much of the Gangetic plain has been transformed into one vast dust bowl. The wheat crop has failed and farmers are committing suicide by the droves. …
The passing of the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 is a landmark towards cutting greenhouse gas emissions. Emissions must be reduced to 1990 levels by 2020. California's leadership in combating global warming is in line with its trendsetting role, which inspired the US government to enact the Clean …
The relationship between climate change and cities is complex. City-based activities contribute significant amounts of greenhouse gases and, simultaneously, are often more vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Dhaka is now the world's eighth largest city and a significant proportion of Bangladesh's greenhouse gases are generated there although, relative …
