Earth Wins Time as Land & Seas Absorb More Carbon
2015-05-17 18:55:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate News Network: Half of all the carbon emissions from burning fossil fuels remain in the atmosphere. The good news is that only half remain in the atmosphere, while the rest have been taken up by the living world and then absorbed into the land, and the ocean. That is, as carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere have risen, so also has the planets capacity to soak up atmospheric carbon. The implication is that what engineers call positive feedback-in which global warming triggers the release of yet more greenhouse...
Has Kyoto protocol made any difference to carbon emissions?
2015-05-17 05:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Under the Kyoto protocol most developed nations other than the US committed themselves to targets for cutting or slowing their emissions of the key greenhouse gases that cause climate change. The targets varied between nations. Some were allowed to increase their emissions by a certain amount; others were required to make significant cuts. The average target was a cut of around 5% relative to 1990 levels by 2012 (or more accurately 200812). To give a sense of how countries have performed against...

Shellfish species shrinking as rising carbon emissions hit marine life
2015-05-16 21:45:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Sea creatures are set to shrink as the worlds oceans become more acidic. That is the startling warning given by an international group of biologists who have charted the likely impact of rising carbon dioxide levels on marine life. The group reveals that not only are hundreds of marine species likely to be wiped out as more and more carbon dioxide is dissolved in the Earths oceans but also that creatures that do survive in particular those with shells, such as clams, oysters and snails will...
Rulings require feds to consider carbon impact of coal mines

Associated Press: Beset by power plant closures, growing regulatory scrutiny and proposed changes in how they pay royalties, coal mines are facing a new obstacle -- a review of how coal extracted and burned will impact the air and global warming. Under a series of rulings by U.S. judges in Denver over the last year, federal agencies that approve mining projects have been told to take into account coal's indirect environmental impact along with traditional concerns about mine dust and equipment emissions. The...
