Invasive marine species benefit from rising CO2 levels
2015-11-13 04:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environmental News Network: Ocean acidification may well be helping invasive species of algae, jellyfish, crabs and shellfish to move to new areas of the planet with damaging consequences, according to the findings of a new report. Slimy, jelly-like creatures are far more tolerant of rising carbon dioxide levels than those with hard parts like corals, since exposed shells and skeletons simply dissolve away as CO2 levels rise. The study, conducted by marine scientists at Plymouth University, has found that a number of...

As CO2 passes 400ppm, what goes up might not come down
2015-11-12 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
InsideClimate: Carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere once again exceeded 400 parts per million Monday, but this time they may never fall back down, according to scientists. While not a tipping point that signals climate catastrophe, the 400 ppm mark is an important symbolic threshold in the fight against climate change. It represents a 43 percent jump in greenhouse gases since pre-industrial times and underscores governments' inaction and worsening global warming impacts. Scientists at the Mauna...
Concentrations of CO2 Hit New High in 2014, Scientists Say

Guardian: The Earths climate will enter a new permanent reality from next year when concentrations of CO2 in the atmosphere are likely to pass a historic milestone, the head of the UNs weather agency has warned. The record concentrations of CO2 in the atmosphere were up 43% since pre-industrial times, said the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), prompting its secretary general Michel Jarraud to say immediate action was needed to cut CO2 emissions. The WMOs latest greenhouse gas bulletin comes...

VW says will cover extra CO2 and fuel usage taxes paid by EU drivers
2015-11-06 21:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Volkswagen has said it will foot the bill for extra taxes incurred by drivers after it admitted understating the carbon dioxide emissions of about 800,000 cars in Europe. In a letter to European Union finance ministers on Friday, seen by Reuters, Matthias Müller, the VW chief executive, asked member states to charge the carmaker rather than motorists for any additional taxes relating to fuel usage or CO2 emissions. The initial emissions scandal, which erupted in September when Volkswagen...
