Malaysian carbon tax could pave way to renewable energy future
2016-04-20 05:38:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Phys.Org: If Malaysia doesn't take action to control its carbon emissions through a carbon tax, the damage caused by climate change over a 95-year period could cost the country more than 40 trillion Malaysian ringgits (US$9.1 trillion). Temperatures in Malaysia are projected to rise between 0.8°C and 3.1°C by 2100. This rapid temperature rise and the resulting climate changes could degrade natural resources, damage infrastructure and threaten human...

NOAA Scientist Creates New Way to Track Carbon Pollution
2016-04-15 14:22:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: A new air sampling device may help scientists better track carbon pollution in the atmosphere. Listen here or read below: As countries around the world commit to reducing emissions, measuring their carbon pollution is critical to tracking progress. Pieter Tans is a senior scientist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and hes invented a tool that might help. The AirCore is a patented air sampling device that at first seems improbably simple: a steel tube--500 feet long and...
