CSIRO team study erodes credibility key soil carbon model
2015-11-02 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Sydney Morning Herald: Australia's method of measuring how much carbon is being stored in its soil is flawed, undermining the credibility of government programs to pay farmers to sequester the climate change inducing element, a new study by CSIRO researchers has found. The Carbon Farming Initiative begun by the Gillard government and the Abbott-Turnbull government's Direct Action climate policy have spent millions of dollars to encourage farmers to boost carbon levels in their soils to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions...

Guardian: CSIRO technology to clean up power stations cited by Greg Hunt as one of the two big things the world can do to immediately reduce greenhouse emissions is at least five years away and still relatively immature and unproven, the CSIRO itself says. Asked about the findings of the latest synthesis report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which called for immediate and rapid emission reductions and the phasing out of coal-fired power, the environment minister said: Well,...

It is 99.999 percent likely global warming is caused by humans: CSIRO
2014-09-05 11:59:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
9News: A CSIRO report has declared the chances of global warming being the result of human industry as 99.999 percent likely. The paper published yesterday in the Climate Risk Management journal noted December 2013 was the 346th consecutive month where global land and ocean temperatures exceeded the monthly average of the 20th century. In other words, not since February 1985 have global conditions been below the average mark. The likelihood of such an occurrence without human contribution is less than...
