Global warming unlocking carbon stores long-locked in permafrost
2015-10-28 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Christian Science Monitor: For thousands of years, a large percentage of the worlds carbon stores have been safely locked in permafrost, the frozen layer of soil and organic matter that covers much of the planets northernmost latitudes. But as temperatures rise and some permafrost melts, that carbon is being released into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide at an alarming rate. For some ancient permafrost, about half its carbon could decompose in just one week after a thaw, according to a new study by the US Geological Survey,...

Climate change: what are you doing to reduce your carbon footprint?
2015-10-28 11:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: World leaders will meet in Paris next month for the latest climate summit, where they will discuss a possible new global agreement to tackle global warming. But what, if anything, are ordinary people doing about their own carbon emissions? Current commitments on greenhouse gas emissions run out in 2020, so in Paris governments from more than 190 nations will need to decide what happens for the decade after that at least, and potentially beyond. The Guardian and five other European newspapers...
