Ethanol use in Michigan cuts greenhouse gas, study finds
2014-11-24 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Great Lakes Echo: New research suggests increased ethanol fuel use could be dramatically reducing greenhouse gas emissions in Michigan. A study by scientists at Michigan State University shows ethanol use in the state is reducing carbon dioxide emissions by nearly 1.4 million metric tons each year, the equivalent of emissions from 294,000 cars. Ethanol fuel production, meanwhile, has nearly doubled in the past seven years, from 276 million gallons in 2007 to 452 million in 2012. The findings suggest ethanol...

Tracking ancient greenhouse gas pulses shows climate trouble ahead
2014-11-22 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Summit Voice: There`s yet more evidence that melting Arctic permafrost will amplify global warming by releasing huge amounts of heat-trapping greenhouse gases. In the latest study, Scientists with the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research tracked a pulse of CO2 and other greenhouse gases released to the atmosphere about 14,600 years ago. The results suggest the gases were released during the start of marked warming phase and originated in thawing Arctic permafrost soil,...
U.S. Can Cut Greenhouse Gas Emissions 80 Percent by 2050, Study Says
2014-11-21 20:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Environment 360: The United States can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80 percent by 2050, using existing or near-commercial technologies, according to researchers with the Deep Decarbonization Pathways Project. The study analyzed scenarios with four types of decarbonized electricity: renewable energy, nuclear energy, fossil fuel with carbon capture and storage, and a mixed case. The scenarios achieved reductions of 83 percent below 2005 levels and 80 percent below 1990 levels, according to the study, which was...
