Permafrost carbon release to have similar impact deforestation
2015-04-10 16:49:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: As permafrost soils thaw the greenhouse gases stored are likely to be released gradually and over a prolonged period of time, having a similar affect to topical deforestation, according to research from the US Geological Survey. Permafrost soils contain twice as much carbon as there is currently in the atmosphere. As climate change has an impact and permafrost thaws the release of carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere increases. Temperatures in high-latitude regions of the Earth, where...

Mashable: Not very long ago, tropical countries like Indonesia and Brazil were cast as the main villains of global forest conservation efforts. These countries have been chopping down huge swaths of rainforests to make way for agriculture and palm oil plantations, among other uses. By and large, they still are -- but compared to other countries, there may be sufficient evidence now to pass the villain baton to other national actors. And these other nations aren't ones that you'd normally suspect. According...

Prince Charles calls for action on deforestation
2015-04-07 13:52:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: Prince Charles has called for urgent action on tropical deforestation, arguing that the forests are essential for life on Earth, in a report published by his International Sustainability unit. The report, notes that despite some success in reducing deforestation in some countries there are no signs yet that overall rates of deforestation or degradation are decreasing. The paper points to a previous study that suggested a year on year increase in the area deforested in the tropics of 200,000 hectares,...
