NH Voice: In 2013, CO2 accounted for more than 80% of all US greenhouse gas emissions due to human activity, according to United States environment protection agency (EPA). Air pollution is associated with high number of deaths from respiratory complications. Cutting down carbon emissions will not only favor our environment, but also health of masses. EPA stated that carbon dioxide is the primary greenhouse gas emitted through human activity. A new study was conducted by researchers at Duke University and...

Londons Gatwick Airport has appointed an expert in carbon emissions analysis Simon Sturgis with an aim to reduce its carbon emissions and become the UKs leading low carbon airport by 2025.
Urban soils release surprising amounts of carbon dioxide
2016-02-23 23:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: In the concrete jungle at the core of a city, carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are dominated by the fossil fuels burned by the dense concentrations of cars and buildings. Boston University researchers now have shown, however, that in metropolitan areas surrounding the city core, plant roots and decomposing organic material in soil give off enough CO2 , in a process termed "soil respiration," to make an unexpectedly great contribution to total emissions. In fact, analyzing CO2 released from soil respiration...

Paris Pact Promotes But Complicates Carbon Trading

Climate Central: One out of every six molecules of climate pollution released to the atmosphere next year will be regulated under a cap-and-trade system, according a new global estimate that highlights the remarkable ongoing growth in carbon markets around the world. Under cap-and-trade systems -- pioneered in recent years in Europe and some U.S. states and spreading through Asia and Canada -- governments trying to slow global warming impose industry- or economy-wide caps on climate pollution. Companies then buy...

Antarctic ice sheet is more vulnerable to carbon dioxide than expected
2016-02-23 01:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Results from a new climate reconstruction of how Antarctica's ice sheets responded during the last period when atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) reached levels like those expected to occur in about 30 years, plus sediment core findings reported in a companion paper, suggest that the ice sheets are more vulnerable to rising atmospheric CO2 than previously thought. Details appear in two papers in the current Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Researchers led by Edward Gasson and...
