The giant impact that created the Moon also seeded Earth with life-giving carbon
2016-09-12 13:30:38| Extremetech
A Mercury-sized planet slammed into Earth when it was very young, slinging molten rock into space to form the moon. Scientists now assert that impact also provided Earth with most of its carbon.

Kennebec Journal & Morning Sentinel: The Aug. 28 article Politics overshadow solars potential in Maine points out missed opportunities for renewable energy options like solar power in Maine as compared to neighboring states. Its exciting to see states acting on ways to minimize the use of carbon-based fuels, which pollute and contribute to the growing climate change crisis, as evidenced by rising shorelines, increased drought and storm surge. Ninety-seven percent of climate scientists agree climate change is real. While state efforts...

Only five years left before 1.5C carbon budget is blown
2016-09-04 18:23:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Carbon Brief: In its most recent synthesis report, published in early 2014, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) laid out estimates of how much CO2 we can emit and still keep global average temperature rise to no more than 1.5C, 2C or 3C above pre-industrial levels. That same year, Carbon Brief used these estimates to calculate how many years of current emissions were left before blowing these budgets. Updating this analysis for 2016, our figures suggest that just five years of CO2 emissions...
