CO2 from burnt fuel hardens if pumped underground, potentially reversing climate change

RT: An experiment in Iceland has confirmed that carbon dioxide, a major factor in global climate change, can be trapped in basalt rocks. Over 95 percent of CO2 pumped underground near Reykjavik turned into solid carbonate in less than two years. Called CarbFix, the experimental injection of CO2 dissolved in water was described by researchers in a paper published by the Science magazine this week. "This opens another door for getting rid of carbon dioxide or storing carbon dioxide in the subsurface...

'Climate change implicated in France floods'

AFP: Torrential rains which caused flooding in France recently bore the unmistakable fingerprint of climate change, according to research to be submitted to a scientific journal next week. Global warming, especially in the last 50 years, had almost doubled the likelihood of the kind of three-day downpour that burst the banks of the Seine and Loire rivers, they calculated. At the very least, the probability of such an extreme rainfall event had increased by more than 40 per cent. "We found that...

Turns out, climate change hurts globalized economy too

Times Of India: The globalization has made the economic production far more vulnerable to the impacts of extreme weather, including heat stress on workers, according to a new study. The analysis by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and Columbia University revealed that the susceptibility of the global economic network to workers' heat-stress has doubled in the last decade. It showed for the first time how enhanced connectivity of the global network of supply can amplify production losses, as...

Open Letter to Attorneys General about Climate Change

Town Hall: Youre not stupid. Stupid people dont graduate from law school. Neither are you generally ignorant. You know lots of law. But the day of the Renaissance man, vastly learned across all fields of knowledge, is long gone. All intelligent and learned people are ignorant about some things. So, U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch and members of Attorneys General United for Clean Power, take no offense when I tell you that your intent to investigate and potentially prosecute, civilly or criminally,...

The Climate Costs of Offshore Oil Drilling

EcoWatch: When the U.S. government refuses to include the costs of climate change in its environmental assessments, were the ones that pay. A new report from Greenpeace USA and Oil Change International shows that President Obamas plan to expand offshore oil and gas drilling will lead to an increase in global carbon dioxide emissions--and those emissions will impose billions in social costs that well all be stuck paying for. More Drilling Leads to Increased Carbon Emissions The report, The Climate...
