(Dec. 8, 2009) - The Ontario government's plan to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions does not have the tools necessary to meet its GHG emission targets. The government is projecting that it will fall short of its targets, even though the future reuctions projected by the government are based on an assumption that all initiatives will be implemented 100 per cent successfully.
"Having targets is important, but having the tools and techniques to meet those targets is critical," said Gord Miller, the Environmental Commissioner of Ontario, in his report, released today, entitled Finding a Vision for Change: Annual Greenhouse Gas Progress Report 2008/2009.

Earth's temperature more sensitive to carbon dioxide than previously thought
(Dec. 6, 2009) – In the long term, the Earth's temperature may be 30-50 per cent more sensitive to atmospheric carbon dioxide than has previously been estimated, reports a new study published in Nature Geoscience this week.
The results show that components of the Earth's climate system that vary over long timescales - such as land-ice and vegetation - have an important effect on this temperature sensitivity, but these factors are often neglected in current climate models.
