A new study finds that the growth of carbon production from Chinese exports has slowed or reversed, reflecting a “new phase of globalization” between developing countries that could undermine international efforts to reduce emissions. The paper is published in Nature Communications. —Prof Guan.

decline in energy-related CO2, according to the latest report from the US Energy Information Administration (EIA). These contributing factors included a decline in the carbon intensity of the energy supply (CO 2 /British thermal units [Btu]) of 1.7% Since the late 1990s, the transportation sector has produced the most CO2 emissions.

The findings, published in the 21 September issue of Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics , are generally consistent with official Chinese government statistics and could bolster their credibility as international negotiations proceed on commitments of China and other nations to combat climate change.

The study judged that the potential CO 2 emissions reductions from low-carbon technologies within the next five years is “ quite low ” (around a 6% improvement), although in the longer term, i.e. between now and 2020, the potential CO 2 emissions reduction is much larger (up to 30% on a well-to-wheels basis).

Global CO2 emissions increased from 15.3 to global power generation, a half per cent more than in 2007, thereby averting about 500 million tonnes of CO2 emissions in 2008. The declining increase in China’s emissions fits the trend since 2004, when its emissions increased by 17%. Tags: Climate Change Emissions.

The study applied the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) model for Physical Understanding of Composition-Climate INteractions and Impacts (G-PUCCINI). This model has been used previously to understand the role of short-lived air pollutants in climate change for past, present and future atmospheres. Unger et al.

Green areas indicate waters supersaturated with aragonite carbonate and favoring shell formation, with darker color indicating more favorable conditions. However, when CO 2 dissolves in seawater, it forms carbonic acid. Projected spread of acidification of the oceans from 1994 (left) to 2100 (right).
