    Global emissions must reduce by more than 5 per cent each year over several decades to keep climate change below 2°C.* This emission quota implies that over half of proven fossil reserves might have to remain unused in the ground, unless new technologies to store carbon in the ground are developed and deployed in large quantities.The 'Global Carbon Budget 2014', led by UEA Tyndall Centre director Prof Le Quéré is available in the journal Earth System Science Data Discussions.It is accompanied by a Nature Geoscience paper 'Persistent growth of CO2 emissions and implications for reaching climate targets', led by Prof Friedlingstein from the University of Exeter.Meanwhile 'Sharing a quota on cumulative carbon emissions' led by Dr Michael Raupach director of the Climate Change Institute at the Australian National University, and a comment article 'Betting on negative emissions', led by Dr Sabine Fuss, at the Mercator Research Institute on Global Commons and Climate Change in Germany, are published in Nature Climate Change.A new statewide poll of New Yorkers found that nearly eight in 10 support the state's moratorium on fracking, reflecting widespread concern over the safety of the practice. The survey, commissioned by the Natural Resources Defense Council, also found overwhelming majority support for more renewable energy development. ralph lauren rugby shirt
    "Across party lines-from the city to the country-New Yorkers have made it clear that they want a better future for this state than those that have been ravaged by the oil and gas industry," said Kate Sinding, Director of the Community Defense Project. "People here know that fracking is a snake oil cure for economic woes, one that comes with steep costs-in the form of water pollution, air contamination, health issues and destroyed communities. Instead, we want to harness clean energy from the sun and the wind to power our homes, create more jobs and revive our economies for years to come."The results come while there is already a de facto moratorium on fracking in New York, in order to give the state time to evaluate the environmental and public health risks the practice poses. This polling suggests New Yorkers are supportive of this approach, which has come under attack from the oil and gas industry and its political allies.Highlights from the polling results, include: * Support for the fracking moratorium is overwhelming: 79 percent of respondents support New York's fracking moratorium * Support for the fracking moratorium is bipartisan: 84 percent of Democrats, 74 percent of Independents and 73 percent of Republicans are behind it * Moratorium support extends upstate:77 percent urban upstate residents support it, as do 73 percent of upstate rural residents and 60 percent of residents in the counties most likely to be fracked.The vast majority of New Yorkers said they wanted more clean energy with 92 percent in favour of more solar in the state and 89 percent wanting more wind power. cheap ralph lauren bags When asked to choose, 61 percent indicated support for developing clean, renewable energy sources over natural gas, while just 25 percent chose gas.Opposition to fracking outweighs support. 56 percent of New Yorkers oppose fracking in New York, while only 35 percent support it.Opposition holds strong upstate: 54 percent of urban and rural upstate respondents each oppose fracking, compared to 40 and 38 percent who support it, respectively. In the counties most likely to be fracked, 48 percent oppose fracking, compared to 44 percent who support it.Most New Yorkers think fracking will negatively impact communities. 55 percent indicated fracking is generally bad for local communities because of the impacts to water, land and health. ralph lauren sweatshirt
    Only 27 percent believed it is generally good for local communities because of jobs, tax revenue and economic development.New Yorkers believe job impacts of fracking will be fleeting as 60 percent believe jobs from fracking are likely to be temporary, and only 26 percent believe they will be permanent or that drilling will bring economic revitalization.Most polling on fracking in the state to-date has been conducted by either Quinnipiac University or Siena College. Since at least 2012, neither of those polls have directly asked respondents about their feelings on the fracking moratorium. The latest findings reinforce and expand on similar results from other polls conducted in recent months that have consistently shown a growing majority in opposition to fracking, including among residents of potentially affected counties. A poll by Quinnipiac from August found 48 percent of New Yorkers oppose fracking, while only 35 percent support it. That is identical to the relative proportions of opposition versus support among upstate residents found in our poll (while New York City and suburban residents in our poll indicated opposition to fracking by a margin of 55 to 35 percent).
