Elevated carbon dioxide in atmosphere trims wheat, sorghum moisture needs

ScienceDaily: Plenty has been written about concerns over elevated levels of carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere, but a Kansas State University researcher has found an upside to the higher CO2 levels. And it's been particularly relevant in light of drought that overspread the area in recent months. "Our experiments have shown that the elevated carbon dioxide that we now have is mitigating the effect that drought has on winter wheat and sorghum and allowing more efficient use of water," said K-State agronomy...

Near-record jump in carbon concentrations in global atmosphere last year
2013-03-06 19:09:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mongabay: Carbon dioxide now makes up around 395 parts per million in the atmosphere, according to new data from the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Measuring atmospheric carbon in Mauna Loa, Hawaii, the NOAA notes that last year saw a jump of 2.67 parts per million, second only to a record jump in carbon concentrations in 1998-2.93 parts per million. The news further dampens hopes that nations will stick to their goal of keeping global temperatures from rising more than 2 degrees Celsius...
Wave Patterns In The Atmosphere Help Explain Weather Extremes

RedOrbit: In recent years, the world has suffered from severe regional weather extremes such as the heat wave in the US in 2011, or the one in Russia in 2010 that coincided with the unprecedented Pakistan flood. There is one common physical cause behind these individual events, according to a new study from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research [PIK]. The findings of the study, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences [PNAS], suggest man made climate change repeatedly disturbs...

ScienceDaily: The world has suffered from severe regional weather extremes in recent years, such as the heat wave in the United States in 2011 or the one in Russia 2010 coinciding with the unprecedented Pakistan flood. Behind these devastating individual events there is a common physical cause, propose scientists of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK). The study will be published this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and suggests that man-made climate change repeatedly...

Gambia emitted 0.01% of Carbon dioxide to the atmosphere in 2000

Daily Observer: The secretary general and head of the Civil Service who is also the minister of Presidential Affairs has disclosed that The Gambia emitted about 20 million tons of Carbon Dioxide into the atmosphere in the year 2000, which represents 0.01 per cent of global emission for the same year. Dr. Njogou L Bah made this remark Tuesday on behalf of President Jammeh during the official launching of the Second National Communications of The Gambia to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change...
