Why US carbon emissions have fallen 14% since 2005</a></b><br>
ZEKE HAUSFATHER <br>
Before 2005, US carbon emissions were marching upwards year after
year, with little sign of slowing down. After this point, they fell
quickly, declining 14% from their peak by the end of 2016.<br>
Researchers have given a number of different reasons for this marked
turnaround. Some have argued that it was mainly due to natural gas
and, to a lesser extent, wind both replacing coal for generating
electricity. Others have suggested that the declines were driven by
the financial crisis and its lasting effects on the economy.<br>
Here Carbon Brief presents an analysis of the causes of the decline
in US CO2 since 2005. There is no single cause of reductions.
Rather, they were driven by a number of factors, including a
large-scale transition from coal to gas, a large increase in wind
power, a reduction in industrial energy use and changes in transport
patterns.<br>
Carbon Brief's analysis shows that in 2016…<br>
- Overall, CO2 emissions were around 18% lower than they would have
been, if underlying factors had not changed, and 14% lower than
their 2005 peak.<br>
- Coal-to-gas switching in the power sector is the largest driver,
accounting for 33% of the emissions reduction in 2016.<br>
- Wind generation was responsible for 19% of the emissions
reduction.<br>
- Solar power was responsible for 3%.<br>
- Reduced electricity use – mostly in the industrial sector – was
responsible for 18%.<br>
- Without these changes, electricity sector CO2 emissions would have
been 46% higher than they are today.<br>
- Reduced fuel consumption in homes and industry was responsible for
an additional 12% of the overall emissions reductions.<br>
- Changes in transport emissions from fewer miles per-capita, more
efficient vehicles, and less air travel emissions per-capita account
for the final 15%.<br>
Conclusion<br>
Many factors have come together to drive US emissions down in recent
years. While gas, wind and reduced electricity and energy use played
the largest roles, other sectors made important contributions, too.<br>
Emissions continued to fall as the US economy recovered from the
financial crisis and associated recession, suggesting this was not
the main cause of emission reductions, though it may have served as
a catalyst.<br>
The falling price of gas, wind and solar, ongoing efficiency efforts
and vehicle fuel economy standards mean US emissions may remain flat
or continue to decline, regardless of current federal inaction on
climate change.<br>
States are also increasingly taking their own actions to meet
emission reduction goals in the absence of federal policy. In this
context, significant increases in US emissions would be unexpected,
barring subsidies for coal or equally unconventional market
interventions.<br>
However, the current rate of US CO2 reductions is not sufficient to
meet the commitments it made under the Paris Agreement. It is also
much too slow to avoid more than 2C of warming since the
pre-industrial era.<br>
While it is useful to understand the factors behind CO2 reductions
to date, both federal and local policy will need to play a role in
driving the deep reductions needed to avoid potentially dangerous
warming.<br>

Regulators Reject Midwest Wind Power Line:</a> </strong>The
Missouri Public Service Commission rejected a $2.3 billion
proposal to build a high-voltage, wind-powered transmission line.
This is the second time the regulators have denied the proposal by
Clean Line Energy Partners, citing the company's inability to
obtain necessary approval from counties along the route of the
proposed project. The 780-mile-long transmission line would carry
wind power from southwest Kansas to eastern states, but local
Missouri residents oppose the project fearing lowered land values.
Four out of five Commission members believe the project is needed
and is in the public interest, but deferred to a March appeals
court decision requiring local approval. All other states have
granted approval, and Clean Line Energy is reviewing next steps. (<a

Rural communities to power providers: How everyone is prepping
for electric vehicle adoption</a></b><br>
<i>(video news report)</i><br>
'The technology we have now is what we need for the next 20 years
during this transition to electric vehicles, when we don't have
enough capacity to justify upgrades to the grid'...<br>
"It's not local demand that's driving this initial strategy, it's
the desire to be prepared and ahead of the game to facilitate the
transition to electric vehicles," said Megan Lohmann, head of
community energy management at Community Energy BC, a partner in the
Accelerate Kootenay project that will install 53 chargers in the
area...<br>
The project is a small step forward and it doesn't change the fact
that charging infrastructure remains one of the most significant
obstacles when it comes to adopting electric vehicles, say
government officials and auto industry experts, but it also shows
how communities and electrical grid operators are trying to prepare
for the eventual influx of EVs that the federal government is
pushing for...<br>
There are two common levels of public chargers: Level 2 chargers,
faster than a basic level 1, can recharge vehicles from zero in
about four to six hours; and Level 3 chargers can recharge cars to
80 per cent capacity in about 30 minutes. Canada doesn't appear to
have enough of either. ..<br>
There were 3,900 publicly accessible Level 1 and Level 2 chargers
and 315 Level 3 chargers in Canada in 2016, according to the
International Energy Agency. That pales in comparison to other
countries such as China (52,778 Level 1 and 2 chargers; and 88,476
Level 3), the United States (35,089 Level 1 and 2; and 5,384 Level
3) and Japan (17,260 Level 1 and 2; and 5,990 Level 3). ..<br>

of Arctic sea ice impacting Atlantic Ocean water circulation
system</a></b><br>
Arctic sea ice is not merely a passive responder to the climate
changes occurring around the world, according to new research.<br>
Scientists at Yale University and the University of Southampton say
the ongoing Arctic ice loss can play an active role in altering one
of the planet's largest water circulation systems: the Atlantic
Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC).<br>
AMOC has a lower limb of dense, cold water that flows south from the
north Atlantic, and an upper limb of warm, salty water that flows
north from the south Atlantic as part of the Gulf Stream. AMOC plays
a major role in regional and global climate, affecting the Atlantic
rim countries - particularly those in Europe - and far beyond. It
was featured in the movie "The Day After Tomorrow."<br>
"Conventional thinking has been that if ocean circulation weakens,
reducing the transport of heat from low to high latitudes, then it
should lead to sea ice growth. But we have found another,
overlooked, mechanism by which sea ice actively affects AMOC on
multi-decadal time scales," said professor Alexey Fedorov, climate
scientist at the Yale Department of Geology and Geophysics and
co-author of a study detailing the findings in the journal Nature
Climate Change.<br>
The first author of the paper is Florian Sévellec, a former Yale
postdoctoral researcher in Fedorov's lab who is now an associate
professor at the University of Southampton. Wei Liu, a Yale
postdoctoral associate, is another co-author of the study.<br>
Earlier this year, a different Yale-led study cautioned that the
AMOC system was not as stable as previously thought. That study said
the possibility of a collapsed AMOC under global warming conditions
is being significantly underestimated.<br>

Says: Fast-melting Arctic sign of bad global warming</a></b><br>
Of all the global warming warning signs in the Arctic, "it is the
sea ice that is screaming the loudest," Serreze said.<br>
That's a problem because a growing body of studies connects
dwindling sea ice to wild weather. The reduced winter sea ice
interacts with warmer oceans to change conditions in the air that
then triggers a potent noticeable shift in the jet stream, the giant
atmospheric river that controls much of our weather, said Rutgers
University climate scientist Jennifer Francis. This theory is still
debated by scientists, but increasingly more researchers are
agreeing with Francis.<br>
It's not just sea ice on the decline. Glaciers in the Arctic are
shrinking. And the massive Greenland ice sheet is slowly but
steadily melting and that can add a big dose to sea level rise.
Since 2002, it has lost 4,400 billion tons (4,000 billion metric
tons) of ice.<br>
Then there's the Arctic carbon bomb. Carbon dioxide and methane -
which traps even more heat - are stuck in the permafrost in places
like Alaska and Siberia.<br>
"Roast the Arctic and you create a mess everywhere on Earth," said
Princeton University climate scientist Michael Oppenheimer.<br>

resort to artificial rain to tackle raging wildfires in Siberia</a></b><br>
By The Siberian Times reporter 24 July 2017<br>
Fires have wreaked havoc this summer with Yakutia and the
Yamalo-Nenets autonomous the latest to be hard hit.<br>
Clouds are being spiked with a special compound over remote areas of
Yakutia to force rain in forest infernos. <br>
The skies are cannoned from An-26 planes with silver iodide or
liquid nitrogen by forestry fire fighters, provoking 50 minutes of
rain across a 30 kilometre area. <br>
An 18,000 hectare fire in Viluisky district is being targeted, some
425 kilometres northwest of regional capital Yakutsk. <br>
Firefighters are also using explosives to remove obstacles and build
mineral lines to block the spread of fires. <br>
Yakutia has some 12 wildfires.<br>
In Yamalo-Nenets officials reported 47 wildfires across 2,097
hectares after a blast of hot weather.<br>
Emergency measures are in place in 17 regions and republics in
Siberia and the Russian Far East. <br>
Locals in many regions say the summer forest fires are are worse
each year as temperatures rise. <br>
