Carbon time-bomb Siberia threatens catastrophic climate change
2015-05-11 23:40:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Express: Experts have said thawing permafrost in little-known peat bogs in the frozen Russian wilderness could expedite the global warming process. Vast swathes of marshland in Siberia are starting to emit greenhouse gases 30 times more potent than carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The threat comes from bogs around the size of mainland France which absorbed carbon dioxide over thousands of years before freezing over during the last Ice Age. Now for the first time in 11,000 years, the thick permafrost...

Carbon price vital for zero-emission goal: World Bank
2015-05-11 22:39:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Agence France-Presse: Safely reaching the UN's climate target requires governments to have a long-term vision that includes carbon pricing, the World Bank said Monday. A price on carbon dioxide (CO2), the principal greenhouse gas, "is an efficient way to raise revenue while encouraging lower emissions," the Bank said. The report, "Decarbonizing Development: Three Steps to a Zero Carbon Future," suggests three essentials for curbing emissions of global-warming gases. United Nations members have set the goal of...
Carbon emissions from peatlands may be less than expected

ScienceDaily: Duke University scientists have discovered a previously unknown dual mechanism that slows peat decay and may help reduce carbon dioxide emissions from peatlands during times of drought. "This discovery could hold the key to helping us find a way to significantly reduce the risk that increased drought and global warming will change Earth's peatlands from carbon sinks into carbon sources, as many scientists have feared," said Curtis J. Richardson, director of the Duke University Wetland Center and...
