Consumers can tackle climate change, say Sustainable Consumption Institute
Consumers can have a major impact on the world’s efforts to reduce global warming, according to new research. The report is called Consumers, business and climate change and was published by Manchester University’s Sustainable Consumption Institute. It estimates that consumers are responsible for 75 per cent of emissions and their action could leverage major reductions in emissions within a few ...

At last some common sense on the fight against global warming
The United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released the second part of its latest report on climate change in April. In addition to actions such as a four-fold increase in solar, wind, nuclear and carbon-capture and storage, the IPCC state that replacing coal-fired stations with modern gas-fired generation would “significantly reduce” greenhouse gas ...

What lies beneath: carbon capture and nuclear waste study begins
Economists and energy planners at the IAEA have embarked upon a multi-year project that will make a comparative analysis of the storage of nuclear waste and carbon dioxide. The project will examine the advantages and drawbacks of both approaches to dealing with power generation by-products, and is expected to be of interest to many countries investigating nuclear power while weighing mounting ...

Understanding the movement of mercury in the atmosphere
In order to reduce mercury pollution, we need to understand its movement in the global atmosphere. A UN report summarises current information on mercury transport in the atmosphere and indicates that intensive global monitoring is needed to inform and evaluate policy. As a result of EU policy1, European emissions of mercury have dropped considerably in recent decades, decreasing by about 60 per ...

EPA moves ahead on climate change, with or without Congress
U.S. President Barack Obama might have failed to pass any substantive climate change legislation in the outgoing Congress’ otherwise productive final weeks, but that hasn’t stopped some action on climate from occurring before the year’s end. Lisa Jackson, head of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), announced last week – on Dec. 23, no less, only a day after the ...

Emission Control - Geoengineering to remove Carbon Dioxide from the Air
The notion of global warming was first mooted by French scientist and mathematician Joseph Fourier in 1824 and discovered by John Tyndall in 1860, he and later, Svante Arrhenius, pinned down the mechanisms. It is perhaps deceived wisdom that Arrhenius was the first to suggest that Sweden might once again be able to grow tropical fruit, such as bananas with a little geo-engineering, but Alexander ...

New Report Explores Whether Consumers Will Electrify Homes, Drive Electric Vehicles
Most Americans are aware of electric alternatives to fossil fuel-powered household appliances, such as heat pumps, electric water heaters and induction cooktops, but few have yet to make the switch, according to a new survey from the Smart Energy Consumer Collaborative (SECC), a nonprofit organization that studies the needs and wants of today's energy consumers. The "Electrification at Home and ...

Carbon capture and storage: climate impacts
One proposal for meeting targets for the reduction in emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) is to capture and store CO2 that is emitted by fossil fuel burning power stations. In a recent study, researchers demonstrated that carbon capture and storage (CCS) could help mitigate against climate change, especially in the short term. Using CCS, CO2 emitted from energy or industrial plants could be ...
