Posted by: Yes Solar Cape (Cape Town, South Africa) – 18 August 2010 The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) is advocating that generating 50% of South Africa’s electricity from renewable resources by 2030 is quite feasible. This is despite the country’s heavy dependence on coal to produce electricity. Kusile power station in [...] Posted by: Saving Water SA (Cape Town, South Africa) – partnered with Water Rhapsody conservation systems – 05 August 2010 Rich nations’ emissions reductions pledges fall dramatically short of what is required to limit global warming to two degrees centigrade, a group of 43 small islands said on Tuesday at U.N. climate talks.

Desertification in Africa Despite his gloomy short-term outlook, Yvo de Boer, who will step down on July 1 after about four years in the job, expressed confidence governments would eventually enact sufficiently tough goals, such as an emissions cut by rich nations of 80 percent by 2050. “I don’t see the process delivering adequate mitigation targets in the next decade,” de Boer told a news conference midway through two weeks of talks in Bonn among senior government negotiators from about 185 nations. “Over the longer term we will get this issue under control,” de Boer, head of the U.N. Climate Change Secretariat, added in a webcast news briefing. Targets for cutting greenhouse gas emissions are referred to as “mitigation”. The U.N. panel of climate scientists has suggested that industrialised nations would have to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 25-40 percent below 1990 levels by 2020 to put the world on track to avoid dangerous global warming.

The Lake Tanganyika is an over 10 million year old rift-valley lake in East-Africa and the second deepest lake in the world. The lake, which straddles the border between Tanzania in East Africa and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, is the world’s second largest by volume and its second deepest, the paper says. Lead scientist on the project Jessica Tierney told Reuters the sharp rise in temperature coincided with rises in human emissions of greenhouse gases seen in the past century, so the study added to evidence that emissions are warming the planet. The ‘Great Lakes’ such as Tanganyika, Malawi and Kenya’s lake Turkana were formed millions of years ago by the tectonic plate movements that tore Africa’s Great Rift Valley. Some 10 million people live around Tanganyika and depend upon it for drinking water and food, mostly fish. Geologists at Rhode Island’s Brown University used carbon dating to measure the age of sediments on the lake floor. They then tested fossilized micro-organisms whose membranes differ at various temperatures to gauge how hot it was at times past. The results were published in Nature Geoscience on Sunday. “Lake Tanganyika has experienced unprecedented warming in the last century,” a press release accompanying the paper said. “The warming likely is affecting valuable fish stocks upon which millions of people depend.” Most climate change studies have focused on the atmosphere, but increasingly scientists are studying the effects on the oceans, seas and lakes, which all absorb a huge amount of heat.
