Carbon Emmision

Meeting the global target of achieving net zero emissions by 2050 will require developed nations to scale up their emission reduction efforts, India said at the G7 Ministers Meeting on Climate Energy and Environment in Japan's Sapporo on Saturday.

The amount of carbon dioxide in the earth's atmosphere grew at record rate in 2016 to a level not seen for millions of years, potentially fueling a 20-metre rise in sea levels and adding 3 degrees to temperatures, the United Nations said on Monday.

Two new studies, both released Monday in the journal Nature Geoscience, address the powerful influence of aerosols - fine particles or drops of liquid often released by industrial activity - on the climate, and suggest that as nations around the world work to reduce this type of air pollution, we will begin to see more rapid warming than expected. ...

The North Atlantic Ocean absorbed 50 per cent more human-made carbon dioxide (CO2) over the last 10 years, compared to the previous decade, according to a new study.

India today said several of its concerns, including voluntary pledges of nations on climate change, have not been incorporated in the new draft which "is the starting point for the final push" as negotiators raced against time to reach an accord to fight global warming.

President Barack Obama challenged America and the world to step up efforts to fight global warming on Monday at the formal unveiling of his administration's controversial, ramped-up plan to cut carbon emissions from US power plants.
