Christian Science Monitor: Researchers from the University of Florida have discovered certain bacteria on the ocean floor could neutralize massive quantities of industrial carbon dioxide. Because carbon dioxide, the primary greenhouse gas emitted by human activity, is a key culprit in climate change, scientists from a variety of disciplines have been searching for ways to effectively capture and neutralize the gas. The UF researchers discovered that an enzyme produced by the bacteria Thiomicrospira crunogena, can convert...

InsideCllimate: As he wrapped up nine years as the federal government's chief scientist for global warming research, Michael MacCracken lashed out at ExxonMobil for opposing the advance of climate science. His own great-grandfather, he told the Exxon board, had been John D. Rockefeller's legal counsel a century earlier. "What I rather imagine he would say is that you are on the wrong side of history, and you need to find a way to change your position," he wrote. Addressed to chairman Lee Raymond on the letterhead...

CNN: Two of my passions are fishing and ocean conservation. So I was happy to be asked to explain the impact of climate change on the oceans' food chain by William Breyer, a reader of CNN's Two Degrees series from Indian Harbour Beach, Florida. Breyer wrote: "I understand that not only are the oceans increasingly retaining more and more carbon dioxide, but the warming of their waters are reaching to ever increasing depths. This, in my opinion, is of particular concern as this may negatively affect...

Fixing Exxons 40-year climate change scandal would be a great reason to have a time machine

Fusion: Texas-based ExxonMobil, one of the world`s largest oil and gas companies, is the present day result of the long and winding history of the oil industry. It is the largest direct descendant of John D. Rockefeller`s Standard Oil Company, which, after being ruled an illegal monopoly way back in 1911, was broken up into Exxon, Mobil, Chevron and a couple other offshoots. Exxon and Mobil merged in 1999 to form ExxonMobil. As an oil company, Exxon naturally has another long and convoluted history, one...

Agence France-Presse: UN diplomats scrambled Friday to sew up a draft plan for tackling the urgent challenge of global warming, with just hours of negotiating time left ahead of a crucial summit in Paris. On the closing day of technical talks in Bonn, which opened on Monday, rich and developing nations were still bickering about the fundamental planks of the pact which will determine the scale of greenhouse gas cuts, and who should foot the bill. The Bonn round was meant to come up with a clear and concise blueprint...
