Biomass industry should disclose impact	3.5.2013	Guardian: Environment
Burning wood from whole trees – the main source of UK biomass – results in higher greenhouse gas emissions than coal Last year, the RSPB, Friends of the Earth and Greenpeace published a report, called Dirtier than coal? , that shone a light on some evidence that the biomass industry would prefer was kept hidden. We revealed two important facts: Firstly, government plans to support the conversion of coal plants would mean that by 2017 the UK will be burning 30m tonnes of biomass, most of which will be wood. To give you a sense of proportion, this is about six times the entire UK wood harvest. It will mostly be in coal power stations that are being switched over to biomass . Secondly, burning wood from whole trees results in higher greenhouse gas emissions than coal. For example, the government's own research has shown that using wood from whole UK conifers results in an increase in emissions of 49% compared with coal. Since then, the evidence has continued to stack up. Last month, ...

Is China really a climate change leader? \| Jennifer Duggan	3.5.2013	Guardian: Environment
A new report portrays China as a leader in tackling climate change but its emissions are still rising dramatically China's environmental woes have attracted a lot of attention internationally since the start of the new year. Air pollution was first up in January as levels in a number of cities, including the capital Beijing, hit lung clogging off the record levels. Dubbed the 'air-pocalypse' , hazardous smog left air pollution left cities enveloped in a thick layer of smog. And just last month water pollution took an unusual form in Shanghai after thousands of dead pigs were found floating in the city's main river which provides drinking water for up to 20 per cent of the city's 23 million residents. Concerns have also been raised about dangerous levels of soil pollution after heavy metals were found in soil samples. China's environment has suffered to help fuel its record-breaking economic growth. Its coal-powered factories and power stations pump out thick clouds of soot making it the ...

The giants of the green world that profit from the planet's destruction \| Naomi Klein	3.5.2013	The Guardian -- World Latest
A new movement has erupted demanding divestment from fossil fuel polluters – and Big Green is in their sights The movement demanding that public interest institutions divest their holdings from fossil fuels is on a serious roll. Chapters have opened up in more than 100 US cities and states as well as on more than 300 campuses, where students are holding protests, debates and sit-ins to pressure their to rid their endowments of oil, gas and coal holdings. And under the " Fossil Free UK " banner, the movement is now crossing the Atlantic, with a major push planned by People & Planet for this summer. Some schools, including University College London, have decided not to wait and already have active divestment campaigns. Though officially launched just six months ago, the movement can already claim some provisional victories: four US colleges have announced their intention to divest their endowments from fossil fuel stocks and bonds and, in late April, 10 US cities made similar commitments, ...

India's solar plans threatened by US trade spat	23.4.2013	Guardian: Environment
In a tit-for-tat trade battle between the US and India over solar power, what is certain is that the environment will be the loser Should trade wars and protecting local jobs get in the way of clean energy? That's the dilemma before India – and the world – at the moment. Desperately short of power, but with an average of 300 sunny days a year, India is aggressively pursuing solar energy. Its national solar programme, the grandly named Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (named after India's first prime minister) plans to generate 20,000 megawatts of solar power by 2022. But an ugly trade spat with the US may frustrate India's efforts to go solar. In February this year, the US asked the World Trade Organisation for dispute consultations concerning the "domestic content" requirement of the solar programme. Domestic content is a loaded phrase in international trade. What it means is that India requires solar energy producers to use locally manufactured solar cells, and offers them special ...
