Jatropha Carbon Farming Could Lower Atmospheric CO2 Levels
2013-07-31 19:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Environment 360: The large-scale planting of jatropha trees in the worlds arid regions could help reduce atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide, a new study says. Using computer models and data from plantations in Egypt, India, and Madagascar, a team of German scientists calculated that plantations of the durable, scrubby jatropha which can also be used as a biofuel could capture 17 to 25 tons of carbon dioxide per hectare annually. Jatropha is particularly suited for so-called carbon farming because it can...

Proposed Method for Extracting Liquid Gas Would Trap CO2 Deep Underground
2013-07-31 16:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World News: A new technique for trapping the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide deep underground could simultaneously be used to release the last remains of natural gas liquids from dwindling reservoirs, reports a new paper in the journal International Journal of Oil, Gas and Coal Technology. The method, the authors argue, could be used to offset a portion of the environmental impact of burning fossil fuels. While so-called "fracking" has dominated headlines of late, there are alternatives to obtaining the remaining...

Scientists mull Arctics slow CO2 loss
2013-07-30 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate News Network: The Arctic permafrost thaws each year, but to the surprise of scientists from Denmark in some areas it is not releasing the carbon dioxide it contains nearly as fast as they had expected. LONDON, 28 July Think of permafrost as a slush fund of so-far uncertain value. The levels of Arctic permafrost that thaw each year and freeze again are growing at depths of 1cm a year, but the carbon locked away in the soils is so far not being released at an accelerating rate. This is good news for...

Rising CO2 levels causing 'tooth decay' in sea organisms
2013-07-27 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Times of India: Rising carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere are having a catastrophic effect on microscopic marine life, according to scientists. Experiments by the University of St Andrews show microscopic organisms, called foraminifera ('forams'), suffer the equivalent of tooth-decay as seawater becomes more acidic. Foraminifera are tiny single-celled organisms that build intricate shells to protect themselves. They feed on algal cells called diatoms, which they break open using tooth-like structures on their...
