China Plans to Include Eight Industries in Carbon Trading Market
2016-01-22 11:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Bloomberg: Chinas planned national carbon-trading program will cover eight industries when it starts up in 2017, the nations top economic planning agency said in a statement on Friday. The petrochemical and power industries will be included, along with chemicals, construction material, nonferrous metals, steel, papermaking and aviation, the National Development and Reform Commission said. The start of a national pollution-trading system is part of a larger push by China to cut global-warming emissions...

Rising carbon dioxide emissions pose 'intoxication' threat to world's ocean fish
2016-01-20 11:22:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
PhysOrg: "Our results were staggering and have massive implications for global fisheries and marine ecosystems across the planet," says lead author, Dr Ben McNeil, of the UNSW Climate Change Research Centre. "High concentrations of carbon dioxide cause fish to become intoxicated-a phenomenon known as hypercapnia. Essentially, the fish become lost at sea. The carbon dioxide affects their brains and they lose their sense of direction and ability to find their way home. They don't even know where their predators...

Maximizing sea life ability to reduce atmospheric carbon may help combat climate change
2016-01-18 06:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: New research on West Antarctic seabed life reveals that the remote region of the South Orkney Islands is a carbon sink hotspot. The findings suggest that this recently designated (and world's first) entirely high seas marine protected area may be a powerful natural ally in combating rising CO2 as sea ice melts. "There has been a cascade of rising atmospheric CO2 driving warming, reducing sea ice, leading to longer micro-algal blooms--which means longer meal times for animals, which are growing more,"...
Increased carbon dioxide enhances plankton growth
2016-01-17 18:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Coccolithophores -- tiny calcifying plants that are part of the foundation of the marine food web -- have been increasing in relative abundance in the North Atlantic over the last 45 years, as carbon input into ocean waters has increased. Their relative abundance has increased 10 times, or by an order of magnitude, during this sampling period. This finding was diametrically opposed to what scientists had expected since coccolithophores make their plates out of calcium carbonate, which is becoming...
