Welcome to the first “ClimatePULSE with ClimateCHECK”, a weekly blog on Triple Pundit covering the world of GHG management and GHG markets in North America. ClimateCHECK is a top tier provider of credible, practical and innovative greenhouse gas (GHG) management for carbon commodities and clean technology solutions. We guide our clients through risk management and compliance issues and into innovative GHG management solutions that create value by improving environmental and economic returns; something we like to call the “double dividend” approach.
Recently, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) took a look at their earlier predictions on global warming, and guess what? They significantly underestimated the rate of increase in global emissions, particularly between 2000 and 2008. This was mainly due to the unforeseen (and rapid) increase in coal-burning by developing countries like China. But even still, it’s quite scary that we surpassed the worst-case-scenario predictions for 2000-2008. So, will we need some type of “Holy Grail” technology to stop global warming? Is the combination of renewable energy and possibly carbon capture and sequestration really enough?
