Indo-Asian News Service: Swamps and wetlands could be 50 times more effective than rain forests in storing carbon, an Australian scientist researching the topic said Monday. Researchers at Victoria's Deakin University found swamps bank up to one-third of the carbon found in terrestrial soils, yet only occupy 4 percent of the planet's land surface. They are confident that wetlands will be a huge carbon sink that was missing in previous global carbon budgets. Senior lecturer in freshwater ecology, Rebecca Lester, told the...

USA Today: Efforts to reduce emissions of climate-disrupting greenhouse gases are moving at a pace that is, well, glacial. Human activity continues to spew tens of billions of tons of carbon dioxide into the air every year. And even though a bone-chilling cold snap has the eastern U.S. shivering this week, the globe as a whole continues to warm at a scary pace. So it's not surprising that some scientists, economists and politicians have begun to discuss a Plan B. Variously known as solar geoengineering,...

Staying afloat amid climate change

Miami Herald: South Florida is Ground Zero for the effects of climate change. With 2.4 million residents living no more than four feet above sea level, we have little room for error and no time to waste. According to the U.S. National Climate Assessment, sea levels rose about eight inches last century and are predicted to rise anywhere from one foot to four feet in the coming century. If a two-foot change happened right now in Miami, it would put 25,000 homes underwater, flood more than $14 billion worth of...
