Times of India: Taking forward an agreed framework of the 2013 Warsaw climate conference, India has come out with a draft national policy on 'reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation' (popularly known as REDD+ initiative) which will enable local communities to get financial incentives for increasing forest cover. The REDD+ initiative is a global mitigation mechanism under a UN body, linking deforestation, degradation, conservation of forest carbon stocks and sustainable management of forests...

Arctic Methane Emissions Certain to Trigger Warming
2014-05-02 02:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: As climate change melts Arctic permafrost and releases large amounts of methane into the atmosphere, it is creating a feedback loop that is "certain to trigger additional warming," according to the lead scientist of a new study investigating Arctic methane emissions. The study released this week examined 71 wetlands across the globe and found that melting permafrost is creating wetlands known as fens, which are unexpectedly emitting large quantities of methane. Over a 100-year timeframe, methane...

Wetland emissions mean more methane
2014-05-01 22:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate News Network: Methane emissions are rising globally because wetlands especially in northern latitudes are releasing more than anyone had realised, a team of researchers based in Canada says. Apart from fossil fuels and agricultural production, methane emissions also come from natural sources such as microbes in saturated wetland soils, and scientists say new studies show it is much more damaging than carbon dioxide emissions. The bad news is that global emissions of methane appear to be rising. The...

Oil sands heavyweights see new path profit in rising carbon emissions

Financial Post: Its a bold proposition: Dont just capture carbon and bury it deep underground, but use it as feedstock to spur large-scale production of chemicals, ski boots and fishing rods, concrete products and pavements, among other applications. Canadas raw oil exports are no hindrance to high-paying, value-added jobs, according to a new report. In fact, labour compensation in oil and gas extraction is the highest in the country, at more than three times the average hourly earnings in the Canadian economy...
