Variations in atmosphere carbon dioxide around 40 million years ago were tightly coupled to changes in global temperature, according to new findings published in the journal Science. Ancient climate can therefore be reconstructed by analysing the carbon isotope ratios of molecules preserved in fossilized algae.

PwC analysis finds a need for global carbon intensity to drop an average of 5.1% Since 2000, the global rate of decarbonization has averaged 0.8%; from 2010 to 2011, global carbon intensity fell by just 0.7%. Because of this slow start, global carbon intensity now needs to be cut by an average of 5.1%
