What Do Farmers Need to Know About Climate Change? United States Mid-Century Strategy for Deep Decarbonization
2017-01-17 18:41:37| National Farmers Union
By Tom Driscoll, NFU Director of Conservation Policy and Education National Farmers Union (NFU) members understand the negative impacts of climate change are exacerbated by greater concentrations of greenhouse gasses in the Earths atmosphere. Everyone in the world should be concerned about the broad consequences of climate change, but family farmers are particularly worried about the direct impact climate change […]

Loss of soil carbon due to climate change will be 'huge'
2016-11-30 13:00:00| LifeSciencesWorld
[NEWS] 55 trillion kilograms: that's how much carbon could be released into the atmosphere from the soil by mid-century if climate change isn't stopped. And all in the form of greenhouse gases such as CO2 and methane. Tom Crowther (NIOO-KNAW) and his team are publishing the results of a worldwide study into the effects of climate change on the soil in the issue of Nature that comes out on 1 December. For decades, scientists have speculated that rising global …
Climate change may prevent volcanoes from cooling the planet
2016-11-16 13:00:00| LifeSciencesWorld
[NEWS] New UBC research shows that climate change may impede the cooling effect of volcanic eruptions. When an eruption is powerful enough, volcanoes spew sulfur gasses high into the atmosphere, reaching a layer called the stratosphere, about 10 to 15 kilometres above the Earth's surface. Here, gasses react with water to form aerosol particles that linger in the stratosphere for one or two years, reflecting sunlight and heat from the sun, and cooling the planet. On average, there…
