Four reasons for optimism as climate ministers take over talks By Peter Teffer-DEC 7,15- EUOBSERVER
Brussels, Today, 17:51-The European Union's climate commissioner Miguel Arias Canete said Monday (7 December) the EU will not accept “just any kind of agreement”, but that a climate deal should be “fair, inclusive, dynamic, durable and ambitious”.Canete made his remarks at the so-called high level segment of the United Nations climate conference in Paris. After a opening summit of government leaders on 30 November, which kicked off the process, climate negotiators have spent the past week trying to thrash out a draft agreement.As of Monday, the world's ministers have taken over from their subordinates. They will try to reach a deal during the rest of the week.On Saturday (5 December), Luxembourg's environment minister spoke on behalf of all EU national governments at a press conference in Paris. She said “some progress” had been made in the first of the two weeks of talks.“The draft is still too complex and has too many options,” said Carole Dieschbourg. However, she praised the “good spirit” in Paris, and added: “We can turn this draft into a solid and an ambitious deal.”The European Commission's Canete was also present at Saturday's press conference.“We did not come here for a weak deal. That would be worse than no deal at all,” he said.-Four reasons for optimism-But, regardless of the outcome at the Paris climate talks, 2015 already provides many signs that it was a historic 'climate year'.2015 was probably the hottest year since temperature measurements started in the nineteenth century.Yet, the United Nations' highest ranking climate diplomat, Christiana Figueres, is urging the public to be optimistic. “I have not met a single human being who’s motivated by bad news,” she told The New Yorker recently.And there are at least four reasons to be upbeat about the fate of the world.. Politics-Although it is easy to be cynical about declarations made by politicians, some serious pledges were made in 2015.In June, the leaders of the world's seven largest economies, including Germany, France, Italy, and the UK, said for the first time that there should be “decarbonisation of the global economy over the course of this century”. In other words: a complete phase-out of all greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels.Some European countries, like the UK, have already promised to stop using coal, the dirtiest of the fossil fuels, in the coming decades. Germany and the Netherlands are also considering a similar move.-2. Economics-Increasingly, the idea of the 'carbon bubble' is gaining ground.According to the concept, assets invested in fossil fuels are worth much less than currently estimated, because of the expected phase-out mentioned above. A key development is the so-called divestment movement, which urges pension funds, universities and government agencies to remove their investments from fossil fuel projects.In 2014, an estimated $50 billion was divested, but in 2015 the trend skyrocketed. By December, over 500 institutions, representing a whopping $3.4 trillion in assets, had promised to divest. Technology-The price of renewable energy is falling rapidly. Solar panel prices have fallen by around 80 percent since the Copenhagen climate summit of 2009. And companies have started seeing renewable energy as a PR tool. Technology companies like Apple and Google promise that their energy-demanding data centres are green.-4. Citizens-Although large-scale protests in Paris were forbidden in the aftermath of the November terrorist attack, almost 10,000 people gathered ahead of the climate conference.A total of over 600,000 people demanded more climate action in protests in 175 countries.
N. Korea 'declares war' on deforestation at Paris climate talks-AFP-DEC 7,15-YAHOONEWS
Le Bourget (France) (AFP) - North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has launched a war on deforestation, the country's foreign minister said Monday at the Paris climate talks, pledging to "actively engage" in global environment efforts.The reclusive country is among the 195 nations gathered in the French capital to craft a deal aimed at curbing the greenhouse gas emissions that are pushing climate change.Kim "has declared war on deforestation and has put forward a massive project to turn all the mountains of the country into mountains of gold, thickly wooded with trees," Foreign Minister Ri Su Yong told delegates.Ri said the country plans to complete a large-scale tree-planting initiative over the next decade, which will help the "national effort to mitigate climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions."He also noted North Korea has an "aim of reducing the country's total amount of greenhouse gas emissions by 37.4 percent compared with the levels of the 1990s."North Korean carbon emissions plummeted in the 1990s as its economy collapsed, but have crept slowly back up in recent years.The nation's government "will continue to faithfully discharge its responsibilities as a party to UNFCCC and actively engage itself in international efforts to protect the global environment," said Ri.The UNFCCC is the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), established 1992 as the main international arena for addressing global warming and its impacts.
Beijing declares first-ever red alert for pollution-AFP-DEC 7,15-YAHOONEWS
Beijing (AFP) - China's capital issued its first-ever red alert for pollution on Monday, as a new blanket of choking smog was projected to descend on the city.From Tuesday morning half of Beijing's private cars will be ordered off the road, with an odd-even number plate system in force, and 30 percent of government vehicles also garaged.Outdoor construction sites will cease operations, but only some industrial plants will have to "implement measures to limit or stop production", said Beijing's Environmental Protection Bureau on its verified social media account, adding that fireworks and barbecues were also banned."People should to the best of their ability reduce outdoor activities," it said. "If you are engaging in outdoor activities you should wear a mask or take other protective measures."Kindergartens, primary and middle schools were urged to close, it added, without explicitly making the measures mandatory.Chinese social media users deemed the government's protection measures lacklustre."If you don't give us a day off school, what's the point of even talking about this?" asked one.Many railed that the measures inconvenienced people without dealing with the real sources of smog, with one user saying: "Those big trucks with excessive emissions, steel plants of excess capacity, and coal mines -- going after any one of those would be better than fixating on cars if you really want to fix the haze; that’s useless."A red alert, issued when severe smog is expected to last more than 72 hours, is the highest of Beijing's four-tiered, colour-coded warning system.The capital has never issued it since the adoption of an emergency response programme for air pollution in 2013, despite frequent bouts of serious smog.Monday's red alert came just a week after a thick grey haze shrouded the city with concentrations of PM2.5 -- harmful microscopic particles that penetrate deep into the lungs -- as high as 634 micrograms per cubic metre.The reading given by the US embassy dwarfed the maximum recommended by the World Health Organisation, which is just 25 micrograms per cubic metre.It also coincided with global climate change talks in Paris, where Chinese President Xi Jinping has vowed "action" on greenhouse gas emissions.- 'Gas chamber' -Most of China's greenhouse gas emissions come from the burning of coal for electricity and heating, which spikes when demand peaks in winter and is the main cause of smog.The issue is a source of enduring public anger in China, which has seen breakneck economic growth in recent decades but at the cost of widespread environmental damage.On Monday evening, Beijing PM2.5 levels were 206 micrograms per cubic metre according to the US embassy, and 187 according to local authorities, with visibility significantly better than the previous week."If today is a red alert, then what was it I was seeing last week?" asked one incredulous user.Another felt too battered from the last round of smog to feel consoled by the city's upgraded alert: "I'm already indifferent, it's all a gas chamber anyway."Pollution is blamed for causing hundreds of thousands of premature deaths every year.China is estimated to have emitted nearly twice as much carbon dioxide as the United States in 2013, and around two and a half times the European Union's total.Beijing has pledged that emissions will peak "around 2030", without saying at what level and implying several years of further increases.It has promised to reduce coal consumption by 100 million tonnes by 2020 -- a small fraction of the 4.2 billion tonnes it consumed in 2012 -- and cut 60 percent of "major pollutants" from coal-fired power plants, without specifying the chemicals in question.
Study sees possible dip in world carbon dioxide emissions-Associated Press By SETH BORENSTEIN-DEC 7,15-YAHOONEWS
PARIS (AP) — Global carbon dioxide emissions may be dropping ever so slightly this year, spurred by a dramatic plunge in Chinese pollution, according to a surprising new study released Monday.The unexpected dip could either be a temporary blip or true hope that the world is about to turn the corner on carbon pollution as climate talks continue in Paris, said the study's authors, a scientific team that regularly tracks heat-trapping pollution.One skeptical scientist offered a $10,000 bet that world emissions will keep rising despite the findings, which were published on the same day that Beijing issued its first ever red alert for smog, urging schools to close and invoking restrictions on factories and traffic.Still, some leaders cheered the study, published in the journal Nature Climate Change."That shouldn't tell us we don't need to do anything, but that shows there is action," Janos Pasztor, the United Nations assistant secretary general for climate change, told The Associated Press. "Things are going in the right direction. All we need is a strong agreement."Using preliminary data through October 2015, the international team of emission trackers project that worldwide emissions of carbon dioxide this year will be down by 200 million metric tons (220 million tons). Last year, the world pumped an estimated 35.9 billion metric tons (39.6 billion tons) into the air by burning coal, oil and gas, along with making cement.Still, the change is so small — 0.6 percent — that it may not be a decrease at all because of the margin of error. As a result, the change could range from a slight increase of 0.5 percent to a decrease of as much as 1.6 percent.If it is indeed a decrease, however, study authors said this would be the first time global carbon dioxide emissions have dropped, even if only slightly, while the world economy grows. Global emissions fell during the last big recession.While total emissions have been climbing, the rate of increase has slowed in recent years. Still, this year's figures could be a blip, with emissions going right back up, said study co-author Corinne Le Quere of the University of East Anglia."We have a mountain (of emissions) in front of us," Le Quere said. "Maybe the mountain is a bit less and steep than we thought. But it's still a mountain."U.S. Environmental Protection Administrator Gina McCarthy said: "I will take the blip any day; it's much better than saying it's increasing. But I think it may just represent a strategy that will be more long term."Greenpeace's international climate politics chief, Martin Kaiser, said this is not enough of a reason to celebrate or be complacent, as emissions have to come down fast in order to save the planet.Stanford University's Ken Caldeira expressed even deeper caution: He offered to bet the authors $10,000 that emissions haven't peaked yet, a bet the authors weren't quite willing to take.Le Quere said she also thinks world emissions, including China's, will go back up and 2014 will not end up being the peak year. She said emissions could go up or down a bit from now on.The whole apparent drop is driven by China, said study co-author Glen Peters of the Center for International Climate and Environmental Research in Oslo. Their study shows a nearly 4 percent drop in emissions for the first eight months of the year when compared to the same time last year. China's plans don't have the country hitting carbon dioxide peak emissions until 2030, which is 15 years from now.One factor may be issues concerning emissions reporting accuracy with China — and the monitoring and verification of emissions is a major hurdle in climate talks. Peters is confident that his figures based on industrial activity are good. But when asked if he trusts Chinese official emissions reporting figures, Peters paused for a long time and said, "You certainly have your doubts."On the positive side, China has dramatically increased its renewable energy and is capping its coal burning, much of it driven by the effort to clean up traditional air pollution that is choking cities like Beijing, said study co-author Dabo Guan of the University of East Anglia.Those efforts are aimed at coal because "coal is the criminal for that and they are reducing lots of coal consumption in the urban areas where most of the industry is based," he said.Peters said in China, three-quarters of the carbon dioxide emissions come from the burning of coal. And the problem is so bad that even recent reductions haven't helped the smog and soot that on Monday choked the capital. The smog and soot are different pollutants than invisible heat- trapping carbon dioxide, but they usually come from the same source.U.S. emissions in 2015 dropped by about 1.5 percent. Le Quere only had 2015 estimates for China and the U.S. But in 2014, Europe's emissions went down 6 percent or by 200 million metric tons — which was the same amount by which India's emissions rose, Peters said.Princeton's Michael Oppenheimer, who wasn't part of the paper, said we need to wait a few years to see if this is a trend. But if it is, "we may be in the early stages of revolutionary change" mostly thanks to renewable energy.He said it shows emissions can stop increasing even as the economy continues to grow.___Online:Nature Climate Change: http://www.nature.com/nclimate ___Follow Seth Borenstein at http://twitter.com/borenbears and his work can be found at http://bigstory.ap.org/content/seth-borenstein

Beijing declares first-ever red alert for pollution-AFP-DEC 7,15-YAHOONEWS
Beijing (AFP) - China's capital issued its first-ever red alert for pollution on Monday, as a new blanket of choking smog was projected to descend on the city.From Tuesday morning half of Beijing's private cars will be ordered off the road, with an odd-even number plate system in force, and 30 percent of government vehicles also garaged.Outdoor construction sites will cease operations, but only some industrial plants will have to "implement measures to limit or stop production", said Beijing's Environmental Protection Bureau on its verified social media account, adding that fireworks and barbecues were also banned."People should to the best of their ability reduce outdoor activities," it said.

Study sees possible dip in world carbon dioxide emissions-Associated Press By SETH BORENSTEIN-DEC 7,15-YAHOONEWS
PARIS (AP) — Global carbon dioxide emissions may be dropping ever so slightly this year, spurred by a dramatic plunge in Chinese pollution, according to a surprising new study released Monday.The unexpected dip could either be a temporary blip or true hope that the world is about to turn the corner on carbon pollution as climate talks continue in Paris, said the study's authors, a scientific team that regularly tracks heat-trapping pollution.One skeptical scientist offered a $10,000 bet that world emissions will keep rising despite the findings, which were published on the same day that Beijing issued its first ever red alert for smog, urging schools to close and invoking restrictions on factories and traffic.Still, some leaders cheered the study, published in the journal Nature Climate Change."That shouldn't tell us we don't need to do anything, but that shows there is action," Janos Pasztor, the United Nations assistant secretary general for climate change, told The Associated Press. "Things are going in the right direction.

Last year, the world pumped an estimated 35.9 billion metric tons (39.6 billion tons) into the air by burning coal, oil and gas, along with making cement.Still, the change is so small — 0.6 percent — that it may not be a decrease at all because of the margin of error. As a result, the change could range from a slight increase of 0.5 percent to a decrease of as much as 1.6 percent.If it is indeed a decrease, however, study authors said this would be the first time global carbon dioxide emissions have dropped, even if only slightly, while the world economy grows. Global emissions fell during the last big recession.While total emissions have been climbing, the rate of increase has slowed in recent years. Still, this year's figures could be a blip, with emissions going right back up, said study co-author Corinne Le Quere of the University of East Anglia."We have a mountain (of emissions) in front of us," Le Quere said. "Maybe the mountain is a bit less and steep than we thought. But it's still a mountain."U.S. Environmental Protection Administrator Gina McCarthy said: "I will take the blip any day; it's much better than saying it's increasing. But I think it may just represent a strategy that will be more long term."Greenpeace's international climate politics chief, Martin Kaiser, said this is not enough of a reason to celebrate or be complacent, as emissions have to come down fast in order to save the planet.Stanford University's Ken Caldeira expressed even deeper caution: He offered to bet the authors $10,000 that emissions haven't peaked yet, a bet the authors weren't quite willing to take.Le Quere said she also thinks world emissions, including China's, will go back up and 2014 will not end up being the peak year. She said emissions could go up or down a bit from now on.The whole apparent drop is driven by China, said study co-author Glen Peters of the Center for International Climate and Environmental Research in Oslo. Their study shows a nearly 4 percent drop in emissions for the first eight months of the year when compared to the same time last year. China's plans don't have the country hitting carbon dioxide peak emissions until 2030, which is 15 years from now.One factor may be issues concerning emissions reporting accuracy with China — and the monitoring and verification of emissions is a major hurdle in climate talks. Peters is confident that his figures based on industrial activity are good. But when asked if he trusts Chinese official emissions reporting figures, Peters paused for a long time and said, "You certainly have your doubts."On the positive side, China has dramatically increased its renewable energy and is capping its coal burning, much of it driven by the effort to clean up traditional air pollution that is choking cities like Beijing, said study co-author Dabo Guan of the University of East Anglia.Those efforts are aimed at coal because "coal is the criminal for that and they are reducing lots of coal consumption in the urban areas where most of the industry is based," he said.Peters said in China, three-quarters of the carbon dioxide emissions come from the burning of coal. And the problem is so bad that even recent reductions haven't helped the smog and soot that on Monday choked the capital. The smog and soot are different pollutants than invisible heat- trapping carbon dioxide, but they usually come from the same source.U.S. emissions in 2015 dropped by about 1.5 percent. Le Quere only had 2015 estimates for China and the U.S. But in 2014, Europe's emissions went down 6 percent or by 200 million metric tons — which was the same amount by which India's emissions rose, Peters said.Princeton's Michael Oppenheimer, who wasn't part of the paper, said we need to wait a few years to see if this is a trend. But if it is, "we may be in the early stages of revolutionary change" mostly thanks to renewable energy.He said it shows emissions can stop increasing even as the economy continues to grow.___Online:Nature Climate Change: http://www.nature.com/nclimate ___Follow Seth Borenstein at http://twitter.com/borenbears and his work can be found at http://bigstory.ap.org/content/seth-borenstein
