World's leading polluters have racked up $10 trillion carbon debt
2015-09-09 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
InsideClimate: The countries most responsible for global warming owe the rest of the world a tremendous debt, with the author of a new study published Monday in the journal Nature Climate Change putting the figure at $10 trillion. The author came up with that number by calculating how much CO2 each country emitted per capita since 1960, generally recognized as the onset of the worst of human-caused global warming. Countries with high per capita emissions carry a carbon debt while countries with lower per capita...

Triple Pundit: Later this year ministers, scientists, diplomats and heads of state from more than 190 countries will convene in Paris for COP 21 with the ambitious goal of adopting a binding international treaty to limit greenhouse gas emissions from human activity. The enormity of that task can be distilled to one number: two. Climate scientists warn that a 2 degrees Celsius rise of average global temperatures from pre-industrial levels is a conservative maximum to avoid the most devastating impact of rapid climate...
Ten Carbon Majors Support Global Climate Deal

Role of fresh water lakes, reservoirs in the global carbon cycle
2015-09-07 21:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Lakes make up less than 3 percent of the landscape, but they bury more carbon than all the world's oceans combined. In the global carbon cycle, fresh water lakes and reservoirs are hot spots of carbon cycling and important players in the global carbon cycle. Understanding that role, as well as the impacts of climate change on fresh water lakes and reservoirs, is central to the work of Kevin Rose, who recently joined the faculty at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI). With a focus on aquatic ecology...
Nations seek shared post-2050 carbon emissions goal

Nikkei: Negotiations are gaining momentum toward a new treaty that would set post-2050 targets for reducing global greenhouse gas emissions, giving individual nations more time to bring their own short- and medium-term goals up to speed. Parties to a United Nations climate change framework aim to adopt a new global treaty at the 21st Conference of the Parties, or COP21, in Paris from Nov. 30 to Dec. 11. But countries are far from agreement on specific emissions targets. France, host of the conference,...
