15 years of carbon dioxide emissions on Earth mapped
2014-09-12 10:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: World leaders face multiple barriers in their efforts to reach agreement on greenhouse gas emission policies. And, according to Arizona State University researchers, without globally consistent, independent emissions assessments, climate agreements will remain burdened by errors, self-reporting, and the inability to verify emissions progress. Now, an international research team led by ASU scientists has developed a new approach to estimate CO2 emissions from burning fossil fuels -- one that provides...

Ocean losing ability absorb increasing carbon dioxide emissions
2014-09-10 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Sydney Morning Herald: Atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide are rising at a record rate as fossil fuel consumption increases and the ability of the oceans to absorb the greenhouse gas diminishes, the World Meteorological Organisation said. Average levels of C02 in the atmosphere rose almost 3 parts per million to 396 in 2013, accelerating from the 2.2 ppm increase in the previous year, the UN body said, citing data from 125 monitoring sites worldwide. "The changes we're seeing are really drastic," Oksana Tarasova,...

China sees big drop in carbon emissions: Premier
2014-09-10 07:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Xinhua: China's carbon emissions saw the largest drop in years as the nation furthers structural readjustment to improve growth quality, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang said on Wednesday. The country's carbon intensity was cut by about 5 percent in the first half of the year, the largest drop in many years, the premier said in an address to the Summer Davos forum, also known as the Annual Meeting of the New Champions 2014, being held in the port city of Tianjin in north China. Meanwhile, energy consumption...
Agricultural revolution in Africa could increase global carbon emissions
2014-09-09 10:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Productivity-boosting agricultural innovations in Africa could lead to an increase in global deforestation rates and carbon emissions, a Purdue University study finds. Historically, improvements in agricultural technology have conserved land and decreased carbon emissions at the global level: Gaining better yields in one area lessens the need to clear other areas for crops, sidestepping a land conversion process that can significantly raise the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere....
