UNEP’s “Emission Gap Report 2014”: greenhouse gas emissions including non-CO2 must shrink to net zero by 2100. Emissions gap may widen by 2030 but low carbon path offers opportunities for the future In order to limit global temperature rise to 2°C and head off the worst impacts of climate change, global carbon neutrality should be…

Switching US electricity generation from coal- to natural gas-fired power stations would not significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions, researchers have found, despite gas plants’ lower emissions per unit of electricity generated. That’s chiefly because the shift would delay the deployment and cost-competitiveness of renewable electricity technologies for making electricity. Abundant supplies of natural gas will…
