EU parliamentarians vote against propping up carbon prices (Cached)	19.4.2013	Down to Earth
Proposal to artificially boost carbon prices fails to receive support, sends prices crashing further The emissions trading system of the European Union, also called EU ETS, has been dealt a bad hand in a recent vote to boost the price of carbon and to incentivize low-carbon growth in Europe. The Climate Commissioner Connie Hedegaard’s proposal for withholding carbon allowances from the market was narrowly voted against in a parliamentary session on April 16, 2013. Such “backloading” would have propped up the price of carbon in the near-term, a “short-term measure” to help the ailing emissions trading system which is Europe’s flagship climate policy.

EU climate chief vows to save scheme	17.4.2013	Guardian: Environment
Connie Hedegaard's attempts to introduce longer-term reforms will face fierce opposition from a powerful business lobby Europe's climate chief vowed on Wednesday to fight on to save the EU's flagship environmental policy, the emissions trading system (ETS), after a serious blow on Tuesday when MEPs rejected reforms aimed at repairing the ailing system . MEPs voted 334 against to 315 in favour of "backloading" the market – a proposal aimed to reverse the plummeting price of carbon that has resulted from a surplus of permits in the ETS market – leading the price of carbon to fall by almost half to under €3 on Tuesday. Connie Hedegaard, EU commissioner for climate action, said: "We are preparing structural [longer-term reforms]. We will have new meetings for stakeholders, in parallel with an impact assessment. We are preparing an initiative." The proposals include measures to restrict rights to carbon permits under the system, and to allow for reviews of the number of permits companies ...

The crowded chasm: the place of science in the Australian government \| Paul Harris	16.4.2013	Guardian: Science
Policymakers in Australia are developing more sophisticated approaches to science and evidence, says Paul Harris in his contribution to our series on science advice The lead-up to the last federal election was a time of unusually high drama for the Australian government. Just two months ahead of the poll, prime minister Kevin Rudd stood down after losing the support of his party, and was replaced by his deputy Julia Gillard . Bitter debate raged about the science and politics of climate change, with Rudd having retreated from a planned emissions trading scheme. And an ambitious public service reform agenda, driven by Rudd and the secretary of his department, Terry Moran, was parked while the focus shifted to campaigning and voting. In this context, the Australian Academy of Science issued a science policy election statement in August 2010. Among its priorities was an emphasis on the importance of science in government policy. According to the academy: "Relatively few Australian ...

Failure to put climate on G8 agenda will cast a shadow on 'greenest government' \| Will Straw	10.4.2013	Guardian: Environment
The move may undermine our last hope for an international agreement that could avert catastrophic climate change On Wednesday, William Hague will host a meeting of foreign ministers from the G8 group of rich countries paving the way for a gathering of the countries' leaders in June. The existential threat presented by Iran and North Korea is on the agenda for both. But the real and present danger of climate change will not be discussed at the leaders' summit. It was recently revealed that David Cameron's adviser for Europe and global issues, Ivan Rogers, blocked moves from Germany and France to make climate change a G8 agenda item. This is short-sighted and risks undermining the last hope for an international agreement that could avert catastrophic climate change. According to Faith Birol, chief economist at the International Energy Agency, the world has just four years to implement the changes necessary to avoid a temperature increase above 2C. If we wait any longer, we will lock ...

EU urged to revive flagging emissions trading scheme	15.2.2013	The Guardian -- World Latest
More than 30 large companies sign up to call for reforms ahead of key vote in European parliament next week Investors and a group of large businesses have urged the EU to revive its flagging emissions trading scheme (ETS), ahead of a key vote in the European parliament next week. Shell, General Electric, Kingfisher, Unilever and EDF were among more than 30 large companies signing up to call for reforms that would raise carbon prices and restore confidence in the scheme, which is meant to cut the EU's carbon output. The Institutional Investors Group on Climate Change (IIGCC), which represents investors and asset managers worth €7.5 trillion, also joined the call for reform. But the suggested way of improving the scheme – a short-term fix of holding back some carbon permits from sale – is complex and it is uncertain whether MEPs will pass the proposal when it comes before the environment committee next Tuesday. The emissions trading scheme has been on life support for months, as prices ...

Australian politics cools off on climate change – even as the temperature rises	4.2.2013	The Guardian -- World Latest
The 2013 poll will pit rampant denialism against grudging action based on political expediency In 2007, a tyro Australian opposition leader called Kevin Rudd held a summit in which he labelled climate change the "great moral challenge of our generation" and, rather optimistically, added "we should be at a stage in this country where climate change is beyond politics". Within months, Rudd swept to power in a landmark election that deposed John Howard, the long-term conservative prime minister and climate-change curmudgeon. Australia, one of the world's leading per capita emitters and the foremost coal exporter on the planet , swiftly signed up to the Kyoto protocol , with the government promising its own cap-and-trade bill. But in 2013, Rudd's idealism on the issue of climate change now appears naive or even archaic.His emissions trading plan was abandoned in 2010, with Rudd himself ousted as prime minister after a $20m industry campaign against a proposed tax on mining . If 2007 was ...
