Boxer-Kerry
September 30th saw the introduction to The Senate of the latest climate change bill. The bill, ‘The Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act’, is sponsored by Senators Kerry and Boxer and I am envisioning a lot of analysis and debate within the various internet discussion and blog boards. To this end, I’ve added a continually updated RSS feed that scrapes a large number of reputable climate change sites for these articles. Rather than search the internet yourself, you can just subscribe to the feed to be continually updated on the bill’s progress through The Senate.

22.7 billion Tonnes CO2e (2008)
With climate talks currently underway in Bangkok, Thailand, much focus is being placed on industrialized nation’s current emissions. China and India are the big unknowns – both are in the top six emitters globally. Using 2008 data (see note) it is interesting to plot not only the total emissions by country but also the emissions per capita. The US’s high inefficiency is well documented and discussed however, the low per capita emissions of China and India could be cause for future concern.
Tonnes CO2e per capita (2008)
With China now being recognized as the largest emitter yet still having the second smallest per capita emissions, we thought it interesting to compare projected emissions using identical per capita emissions. [click to continue…]

I’ve recently added a new feature to this blog. Using yahoo pipes, I automatically search about 30 highly selective feeds or so popular RSS feeds on carbon news, sustainability issues and the like and, using a little bit of web programming and filtering, publish these as separate topic headings. You see the result down the right hand column of this blog. I have initially chosen five topic areas which continually update as new information comes in. The topic areas I’ve selected are:
- Waxman-Markey bill
- Upcoming Copenhagen talks
- Wind energy developments
- Developments in carbon trading [click to continue…]
