Edmonton Journal: Alberta households should turn down the heat to reduce their carbon footprint, but it wont help much if the neighbour is taking dozens of airline flights a year, says a newly published University of Alberta study on income and household greenhouse gas emissions. The study, recently published online in the journal Environment and Behaviour, reveals that frequent flyers from upper income households produce a startling volume of greenhouse gas emissions -- their flights alone pump out three times...

A 1.5 C Temperature Rise Could Release Greenhouse Gases in Permafrost
2013-02-22 18:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Environment 360: A global temperature increase of 1.5 degrees Celsius could unleash more than 1,000 gigatons of carbon and methane currently trapped beneath Siberian permafrost and accelerate global climate change, a new study says. In a study conducted in a frozen cave in Siberia, researchers analyzed stalactites and stalagmites which, since they form only when rainwater and snowmelt drip into the caves, provide a glimpse into 500,000 years of changing permafrost conditions. According to their findings, records...

Arctic Ice Melt Disrupts Balance Of Greenhouse Gases
2013-02-20 07:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
RedOrbit: Last year, so much sea ice in the Arctic had melted away that it beat the prior record amount set in the summer of 2007. By the end of the 2012 summer, the Arctic Ocean had lost about 2.1 million square miles of ice, according to the U.S. National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) in Colorado. Experts began to predict the kinds of trouble such a speedy and significant melt could have on the earths ecosystems as a whole. Now, one of these effects has already been seen. According to research from...
