Sydney Morning Herald: Biggest drop in 24 years: Emissions are falling in the power sector - for now. Australia posted its biggest annual reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in 24 years of records in 2013 as the carbon tax helped drive a large drop in pollution from the electricity sector. The latest greenhouse gas inventory, released online without fanfare by the federal government, showed annual emissions excluding changes in land use were estimated at 538.4 million tonnes of carbon-dioxide equivalent in 2013,...

Commodity Online: City-dwelling Chinese may still be choking on smog, but amid all the haze, China may turning a corner in its fight on pollution. Top Chinese officials have hinted at the fact that China is working hard to achieve "peak" greenhouse gas emissions, which may come sooner than observers expect. "Peak pollution" refers to the point at which a developing country's economy reaches a high enough level of production to ensure it will continue to grow even as it begins to work on reducing pollution rates....

Business Times: A new study released by researchers from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland has said the release of carbon dioxide emissions by the world's oceans is being heightened up by the continued rise of global warming temperatures. Scientists studied a 26,000-year-old sediment core from the Gulf of California to find out how the ocean's ability to take up atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) has changed over time. The team specifically analysed the abundance of silicon and iron concentrations of fossilised...

Helping Farmers Around The World Fight Greenhouse Gas Emissions And Climate Change
2014-06-10 22:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
RedOrbit: Helping farmers around the globe apply more precise amounts of fertilizer nitrogen can combat climate change. That`s the conclusion of a study published this week in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. In the paper, researchers at Michigan State University (MSU) provide an improved prediction of nitrogen fertilizer`s contribution to greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural fields. The study uses data from around the world to show that emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O),...
