Drought Weakens the Amazons Ability to Capture Carbon
2015-03-09 16:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: During drought, trees across the Amazon continue to stretch their limbs. But they shirk one of their more important, planet-saving tasks: inhaling carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. In the drought of 2010, the ability of the Amazon's trees, shrubs, bushes and vines to absorb carbon was greatly diminished, according to new research that used on-the-ground measurements for the first time. That data reveals a slightly higher estimate than recent computer and satellite studies and paints a worrisome...

Canada: Carbon pricing is no free lunch

LF Press: A new Nanos poll has confirmed what anyone who has been paying attention could have told our politicians years ago. That is, Canadians support reducing greenhouse gas emissions linked to climate change up until the moment we have to spend our own money to do it. When asked whether they'd be willing to pay higher gasoline taxes to fight climate change, 57% of Canadians surveyed disagreed, compared to only 41% in favour. (The poll surveyed 1,000 Canadians from Feb. 22 to 27, with a 3.1% margin...

Climate summits pledges on carbon cuts wont avert global disaster
2015-03-07 22:45:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Pledges at this years climate summit to cut carbon emissions are likely to fall far short of the targets needed to avoid heating the planet by more than 2C. That is the stark conclusion of a report by a team led by British economist Nicholas Stern. The group, based at the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change at the London School of Economics, concludes that action planned by countries in particular the European Union, the US and China will still leave the world emitting 10bn tonnes...

Industrial carbon credits could help Louisiana restore its coastline, report says
2015-03-06 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New Orleans Advocate: The ability of coastal wetlands to absorb, and retain, carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases could be a means to help restore parts of Louisiana's disappearing coastline, according to a new report released Thursday. The amount of carbon credits that could be generated by some coastal restoration techniques could produce between $400 million and $1 billion in revenue that could go toward coastal restoration in the state. An additional $140 million up to $630 million could be generated by preventing...
