CLIMATE CHANGE STUDY INDICATES AMOUNT OF HEAT-TRAPPING POLLUTION ROSE DRAMATICALLY WORLDWIDE LAST YEAR

WASHINGTON – The amount of heat-trapping pollution in the world rose again last year by 3 percent.  So scientists say it’s now unlikely that Global Warming can be limited to a couple of degrees, which is an international goal.

The overwhelming majority of the increase was from China, the world’s biggest carbon dioxide polluter.  Of the planet’s top 10 polluters, United State and Germany were the only countries that reduced their carbon dioxide emissions.

Last year, all the world’s nations combined pumped nearly 38.2 billion tons of carbon dioxide into the air from the burning of fossil fuels such as coal and oil, according to new international calculation on global emissions published Sunday in the journal Nature Climate Change.  That’s about a billion tons more that the previous year. 

The total amounts to more than 2.4 million pounds of carbon dioxide released into the air every second.

Three years ago, nearly 200 nations set the 2-degree C temperature goal in a nonbinding agreement.  Negotiators now at a conference under way in Doha, Qatar, are trying to find ways to reach that target. 

The only way is to start reducing world emissions now and “throw everything we have at the problem,” says Glen Peters at the Center for International Climate and Environmental Research in Oslo, Norway.

Solar's Soaring Job Growth for Solar Hot Water, Solar Electric (Photovoltaic), Solar Pool Heating, Solar Tubular Skylights and Solar Attic Ventilation Systems

The National Solar Jobs Census 2012 published earlier this month revealed that solar companies are hiring faster than the general economy.  The Solar Foundation's review of the US solar workforce found that as of 2012, the solar industry had grown to 119,016 workers under its definition of those "who spend at least 50% of their time supporting solar-related activities."

"There are 119,016 solar workers in the United States, up from a revised 105,145 in 2011," the report said.  "In just five years, the industry grew nearly six times in value, with total solar installations in the US estimated to be worth $8.4 billion in 2011."

Since 2010, when the foundation began tracking jobs, solar industry employment has grown by 27% to a figure that outstrips the 91,611 coal miners in the US, according to Energy Information Administration.  It goes without saying that most of that job creation was with installers (48%), rather than manufacturers (25%).

Solar employment overall is expected to grow by 17.2% over other next 12 months, representing the addition of approximately 20,000 new solar workers.  Most of these new employees will be installing a variety of energy saving products.  The most popular are expected to be Solar Pool Heating, Solar Hot Water, Solar Photovoltaic Panels, Solar Tubular Skylights (with reflective sunlight bouncing tubes)  and Solar Attic Fans.
