Desert mangroves are major source of carbon storage, study shows

ScienceDaily: Researchers found that short, stunted mangroves living along the coastal desert of Baja California store up to five times more carbon below ground than their lush, tropical counterparts. The new study led by researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego estimates that coastal desert mangroves, which only account for one percent of the land area, store nearly 30 percent of the region's belowground carbon. "Mangroves represent a thin layer between ocean and land, and yet we...

Canada: An honest carbon tax

Toronto Sun: While Canadians are rightly skeptical about governments that promise a new tax will be revenue neutral, whats alarming about carbon pricing is that they arent even promising that. The concern is that in order to impose carbon prices high enough to lower greenhouse gas emissions linked to climate change, they will have to take so much money from us, it will cause a recession. The carbon prices governments like Ontario and Alberta are imposing starting next year between $17 and $30 per tonne...

A climate skeptic calls for a carbon tax

Daily Climate: I am not deeply worried about man-made climate change. But I am appalled at all the absolutely stupid, counter-productive things our government has implemented in the name of climate change. The net effect is a costly distortion of the economy with extremely little effect on man-made greenhouse gas production. For example: Corn ethanol mandates and subsidies, which study after study have shown to have zero net effect on CO2 emissions. Even Koch Industries, one of the largest beneficiaries...

Carbon emissions are the highest they've been since dinosaurs died out

Bilbaoya: The earliest measurements of Earth's climate using thermometers and other tools start in the 1850s. Today, the release rate of carbon dioxide (CO2) is roughly 10 times faster than an event some 56 million years ago when earth had extreme warming temperature, as per the study published Monday in the journal Nature Geoscience. Researchers analyzed the biological signatures of deep-sea sediment samples collected off the coast of New Jersey and found the current release of carbon into the atmosphere...
