Wilderness Society: Public lands generate about 4.5 times more atmospheric carbon than they are currently able to absorb, according to a new report from the Center for American Progress. In short, oil and gas drilling is outpacing the capacity of our forests and grasslands to capture the carbon that is being emitted. Strip mine in the Powder River Basin in Wyoming.

Unexpected interaction between ocean currents and bacteria may weaken ocean's ability to absorb carbon
2013-09-13 16:45:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: For the first time, researchers have successfully demonstrated an interaction between ocean currents and bacteria: The unexpected interaction leads to the production of vast amounts of nitrogen gas in the Pacific Ocean. This takes place in one of the largest oxygen free water masses in the world -- and these zones are expanding. This can ultimately weaken the ocean's ability to absorb CO2. Three places in the world harbor extensive oxygen free water masses, called Oxygen Minimum Zones. In these...

Nature World: They may not absorb enough carbon to curtail global warming, but the microbes that call the deep ocean home absorb enough of it to merit further study, according to a paper published in the International Society of Microbial Ecology (ISME) Journal. Lead author of the paper Tim Mattes, an associate professor of civil and environmental engineering at the University Iowa, explained that while most are familiar with the role of trees and grass in absorbing carbon from the air, organisms such as bacteria...
