Now, Trudeau's Liberals must put money where mouth is on climate change-By Jordan Press, The Canadian Press | The Canadian Press – DEC 1,15-YAHOONEWS
OTTAWA - Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is back from an appearance at an international climate change conference with a simple question hanging over his head: What now? A 90-day countdown is underway before Trudeau meets again with Canada's premiers to hammer out a climate-change framework that would guide federal and provincial efforts in meeting the ambitious talk from the Paris conference.The provinces will be looking to the federal government for money to help pay for their climate-change commitments. But the Liberals have a slew of green spending promises of their own to keep, totalling more than $13 billion in new, green spending over the next four years.And missing from all of it are the details of what the money will buy and where it will be spent — details that observers say would spell out whether the government will be able to meet its emission reduction ambitions."It starts putting us on the trajectory towards achieving the kinds of deployment of clean technology and the associated emission reductions that we're going to need," said Dan Woynillowicz, policy director at Clean Energy Canada."Is it enough? I can't answer that until we actually see a much more comprehensive plan that lays out when, where and how those dollars are going to be invested."Those details are expected to come out over the next 90 days in the leadup to Trudeau's next meeting with premiers and beyond that as the Liberals get closer to releasing their first budget in 2016.The first cash infusion came Monday when Trudeau followed through on a pledge to spend $300 million for research and development in the renewable energy sector. Erin Flanagan, federal policy director with the Pembina Institute, said there's no simple way to show how much each R&D dollar is worth in terms of emissions reductions, putting the onus on the Liberals to prove their spending is working."If the government wants to have public confidence on these expenditures, they will have to bring us into that story," Flanagan said."They will have to prove that there is some benefit to Canada, to Canadians and also to this global process of emissions reductions."The story is the same for the approximately $11.3 billion in extra spending on investments in green infrastructure and public transit, with $2 billion more set aside for emission-reducing projects the Liberals have promised over the next four years."The use of public transit is a huge factor in all this," Transportation Minister Marc Garneau said last week in an interview with The Canadian Press."If more people are leaving their cars at home and getting into modes of transportation that are public ... that also contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions."About 23 per cent of Canada's greenhouse gas emissions come from the transportation sector, just behind the oil and gas sector, which tops the list.Reducing emissions in the transportation sector is going to require some strategic spending, Flanagan said. Depending on how the government does its math, it could end up paying for subways in Toronto or more buses in parts of B.C. to meet its emission goals, she said.Some of that money could go towards renewable energy sources and upgrades to the electricity grid. A report from a group working with the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network estimated would need an extra $13.5 billion in annual investment spending to help Canada get closer to its emission targets.Louise Comeau, executive director of the Climate Action Network, said that investment would go further to reducing emissions in the next five years than spending in any other area, including public transit.Public transit investments will take more time and money than other investments the government is proposing and doesn't reduce emissions much in the short-term, she said. The funding, she said, is an "important long-term play.""That's not to say it (public transit) shouldn't be there. It's necessary for the long-term reductions, but in the short term to get us to our goals for 2020 and 2025, the focus should be on electricity and on vehicles and buildings," Comeau said from Paris, where she is attending the international climate conference.

US House blocks carbon emission rules, Obama set to veto-AFP-DEC 1,15-YAHOONEWS
Washington (AFP) - US House Republicans voted Tuesday to block President Barack Obama's regulations on reducing greenhouse gas emissions -- a move certain to spark his veto -- as negotiators work on a global climate deal in Paris.The two measures, rolling back the Environmental Protection Agency's new emission rules for existing and new power plants, passed the chamber largely along party lines, with all but four Democrats opposed to each.The so-called disapproval resolutions, which already passed the Republican-controlled Senate, dealt a largely symbolic yet harsh rebuke to Obama, who attended the start of a major UN climate summit in the French capital.The White House has said Obama would veto the resolutions and Congress does not appear to have sufficient votes to override the veto.Many conservatives in Congress deny that climate change is a result of human industry and agriculture, and have opposed emissions controls designed to slow global warming.The far-reaching regulations form a core of Obama's efforts to reduce overall US greenhouse gas emissions.Republicans seemed almost gleeful at the prospect of blocking Obama's emissions rules just as international negotiators sought to tame global warming."We want the House to adopt this resolution while the climate change conference is going on in France so that the world will know that in America there is a disagreement about the extreme power grab that this president is initiating under his clean energy plan," Republican Ed Whitfield said shortly before the votes.The EPA rules incensed Republicans, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who is from the coal-producing state of Kentucky, when the White House announced Obama's Clean Power Plan in August.They argue that the economic cost of the endeavor, particularly in coal mining states, would cripple industry and hike energy costs for millions of Americans.Under the rule, the power sector's carbon dioxide emissions will have to be cut by at least 32 percent below 2005 levels by 2030.
Doomsday revisited: will warming deprive us of oxygen?-AFP By Mariëtte Le Roux-DEC 1,15-YAHOONEWS
Paris (AFP) - Global warming has triggered an array of apocalyptic scenarios for future generations, from worsening drought, storms and floods to melted icesheets and rising seas.Now a new study, published Tuesday and coinciding with the UN climate talks in Paris, adds to the grim tableau: the risk that warming at the far end of the scale could rob our planet of oxygen."We have identified another possible consequence of ... global warming that can potentially be more dangerous than all others," say a pair of scientists from Britain's University of Leicester.Their study, based in the peer-reviewed journal the Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, is based on a computer model of phytoplankton, the microscopic sea plants which produce about two-thirds of the oxygen in the atmosphere.Average global warming of 6 C (10.8 degrees Fahrenheit) would be a threshold at which the phytoplankton's vital oxygen-generating abilities, determined by water temperature, would be impaired, they say."It would mean oxygen depletion not only in the water but also in the air," said the team. "Should it happen, it would obviously kill most of life on Earth."Warming of 6 C exceeds mainstream projections, although the International Energy Agency (IEA) has previously warned it is possible if nothing is done to reverse the rise of greenhouse-gas emissions.Many scientists say that if this temperature is ever reached, it could result from unbridled carbon emissions over a very long period -- or from a tipping point such as the release of methane gas from melting permafrost, which would cause warming to accelerate at a stroke.UN members negotiating a climate rescue pact in Le Bourget have embraced a goal of limiting global warming to 2 C over pre-Industrial Revolution levels, or less. Last month, Britain's weather office said 2015 was on track to hit the halfway, 1 C, mark.The UN's climate science panel, considered the authority on the subject, has said the globe could become 4.8 C warmer this century on worst-case-scenario greenhouse gas emission trends."The message from this study is that there may be another disaster approaching us as a consequence of global warming, and it may be much worse than all other consequences identified previously," co-author Sergei Petrovskii told AFP."There may be very little warning signs before the disaster actually happens... but once the critical threshold is passed (as estimated at 6 C), then the catastrophe will develop fast," he explained by email.The team said research into the effects of warming on oceans so far had focused on sea level rise and species loss.Their study was based on mathematical modelling, rather than observational research, and the authors acknowledged they did not factor in certain natural processes, such as ocean circulation, which could influence the outcome.But, they said, if carbon emissions remain unchecked, deoxygenation is ultimately not a risk to be dismissed."The danger... is probably more real than to be drowned," they wrote.
China orders factories shut as smog nightmare continues-AFP-DEC 1,15-YAHOONEWS
Beijing (AFP) - China has ordered thousands of factories to shut as it grapples with swathes of choking smog that were nearly 24 times safe levels on Tuesday, casting a shadow over the country's participation in Paris climate talks.A thick grey haze shrouded Beijing, with the concentration of PM 2.5, harmful microscopic particles that penetrate deep into the lungs, climbing as high as 598 micrograms per cubic metre.The reading, given by the US embassy, dwarfs the maximum recommended by the World Health Organisation, which is just 25 micrograms per cubic metre-Levels in Jinan, a provincial capital hundreds of kilometres away, reached over 400.Authorities in Beijing ordered the closure of 2,100 highly polluting businesses, the state-run China Daily said, and advised citizens to stay indoors.Airlines cancelled over 30 flights from Beijing and Shanghai, many to highly polluted Shaanxi province, a key coal producer.The environmental woes came after Chinese President Xi Jinping took the stage at crucial international talks aiming to limit dangerous climate change.He vowed "action" on greenhouse emissions, repeating existing pledges and telling the summit that poor nations should not have to sacrifice economic growth.Most emissions come from coal burning which spikes in winter along with demand for heating, which also causes smog.China is estimated to have released between nine and 10 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide in 2013, nearly twice as much as the United States and around two and a half times the European Union.Beijing pledged last year that carbon dioxide output would peak by "around 2030" -- suggesting at least another decade of growing emissions.Social media users in China were sceptical about the chances of a clean up, with many circulating a picture of a Beijing newspaper front page from 1999.It cited officials as proclaiming: "We absolutely will not let big pollution enter the new century."
After leaders' rhetoric, climate negotiators start work on deal-Reuters By Barbara Lewis and Bate Felix-DEC 1,15-YAHOONEWS
PARIS (Reuters) - With encouragement from 150 world leaders ringing in their ears, government negotiators in Paris sought on Tuesday to turn that rhetoric of unity into the text of a global deal to slow climate change.But as the leaders departed Paris, it became apparent that disagreements which have blocked a deal over four years of lead-up negotiations remain unresolved.Negotiators from the 195 countries with a place at the table resumed work on a draft text that still runs to more than 50 pages and is riddled with sticky issues to be settled.The biggest obstacle is money: how to come up with the billions of dollars developing nations need to shift from fossil fuels and adapt to the impacts of climate change.At Tuesday's technical talks, countries restated their well-known negotiating positions on the question with few hints of compromise. China's delegate Su Wei "noted with concern" what he called a lack of commitment by the rich to make deep cuts in greenhouse gas emissions and help developing nations with new finance to tackle global warming.And the group of the 48 least developed countries urged far tougher action to limit rising temperatures."It's back to the nitty gritty," said Alden Meyer, of the Union of Concerned Scientists, adding the opening day was "all good but that does not resolve the crunch issues."Certainly there was still some hangover of goodwill from Monday, when a parade of leaders stepped to the podium to assert the imperative of getting a deal.Many delegates said the large turnout of leaders, almost all expressing sympathy for the French people after attacks by Islamic State militants killed 130 in Paris this month, set a less hostile tone than the one that prevailed in the last talks in Copenhagen in 2009.French President Francois Hollande said he was encouraged by the start of a conference that is planned to run until Dec. 11. "It's set off well but it has to arrive too," he told reporters.The mood had also been brightened by major spending announce ments, including a plan by India and France to mobilize $1 trillion for solar power for some of the world's poorest people and a private sector initiative led by Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates to mobilize billions of dollars for new energy research and development.NO ESCAPING POLITICS-A deal in Paris would be by far the strongest ever agreed to bind both rich and poor nations to limit greenhouse gas emissions, which scientists say have blanketed the earth, raised global temperatures and begun upending the planet's climate system.But Tuesday showed that the Paris talks are still taking place under the shadow of politics-as-usual back home.In the United States, Republicans have signaled they will oppose authorizing the billions of dollars that President Barack Obama has pledged to help developing nations adapt to climate change.In response, Obama told reporters before boarding Air Force One to return to the United States that the impacts of climate change will force any future U.S. president -- Democrat or Republican -- to act." Everybody else is taking climate change really seriously," he said of world leaders in Paris, adding: "People should be confident that we'll meet our commitments on this."Developing nations want the rich to pledge rising amounts beyond the current goal of $100 billion a year by 2020 to help them obtain clean energy sources and adapt to the effects of climate change, ranging from more floods to droughts and intense storms.Other disputes concern how to define a long-term goal for reducing or phasing out fossil fuels this century.So far, pledges made by 184 countries to curb greenhouse gas emissions beyond 2020, made in the run-up to the Paris summit, are too weak to limit rising global temperatures to 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial times. That is widely viewed as a threshold for dangerous and potentially catastrophic changes in the planet's climate system.As negotiators grapple with the details, they also appear motivated by the fearful consequences of failing to get an agreement."Leaders still have the scars of Copenhagen on their hearts and brains," said Yvo de Boer, who was the U.N.'s climate chief in Copenhagen. De Boer, who works for the Global Green Growth Institute, said Monday's big turnout was encouraging for a deal - but acknowledged the challenge ahead."The elephant in the room is still finance," he said.(Writing by Alister Doyle; Additional reporting by Bate Felix and Emmanuel Jarry; Editing by Bruce Wallace and Janet Lawrence)

China's delegate Su Wei "noted with concern" what he called a lack of commitment by the rich to make deep cuts in greenhouse gas emissions and help developing nations with new finance to tackle global warming.And the group of the 48 least developed countries urged far tougher action to limit rising temperatures."It's back to the nitty gritty," said Alden Meyer, of the Union of Concerned Scientists, adding the opening day was "all good but that does not resolve the crunch issues."Certainly there was still some hangover of goodwill from Monday, when a parade of leaders stepped to the podium to assert the imperative of getting a deal.Many delegates said the large turnout of leaders, almost all expressing sympathy for the French people after attacks by Islamic State militants killed 130 in Paris this month, set a less hostile tone than the one that prevailed in the last talks in Copenhagen in 2009.French President Francois Hollande said he was encouraged by the start of a conference that is planned to run until Dec. 11. "It's set off well but it has to arrive too," he told reporters.The mood had also been brightened by major spending announce ments, including a plan by India and France to mobilize $1 trillion for solar power for some of the world's poorest people and a private sector initiative led by Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates to mobilize billions of dollars for new energy research and development.NO ESCAPING POLITICS-A deal in Paris would be by far the strongest ever agreed to bind both rich and poor nations to limit greenhouse gas emissions, which scientists say have blanketed the earth, raised global temperatures and begun upending the planet's climate system.But Tuesday showed that the Paris talks are still taking place under the shadow of politics-as-usual back home.In the United States, Republicans have signaled they will oppose authorizing the billions of dollars that President Barack Obama has pledged to help developing nations adapt to climate change.In response, Obama told reporters before boarding Air Force One to return to the United States that the impacts of climate change will force any future U.S. president -- Democrat or Republican -- to act." Everybody else is taking climate change really seriously," he said of world leaders in Paris, adding: "People should be confident that we'll meet our commitments on this."Developing nations want the rich to pledge rising amounts beyond the current goal of $100 billion a year by 2020 to help them obtain clean energy sources and adapt to the effects of climate change, ranging from more floods to droughts and intense storms.Other disputes concern how to define a long-term goal for reducing or phasing out fossil fuels this century.So far, pledges made by 184 countries to curb greenhouse gas emissions beyond 2020, made in the run-up to the Paris summit, are too weak to limit rising global temperatures to 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial times. That is widely viewed as a threshold for dangerous and potentially catastrophic changes in the planet's climate system.As negotiators grapple with the details, they also appear motivated by the fearful consequences of failing to get an agreement."Leaders still have the scars of Copenhagen on their hearts and brains," said Yvo de Boer, who was the U.N.'s climate chief in Copenhagen. De Boer, who works for the Global Green Growth Institute, said Monday's big turnout was encouraging for a deal - but acknowledged the challenge ahead."The elephant in the room is still finance," he said.(Writing by Alister Doyle; Additional reporting by Bate Felix and Emmanuel Jarry; Editing by Bruce Wallace and Janet Lawrence)
