Mongabay: Peatlands in the Peruvian Amazon store ten times the amount of carbon as undisturbed rainforest in adjacent areas, making them critical in the battle to fight climate change, finds a new study published in Environmental Research Letters. While peatlands in Southeast Asia - namely Sumatra, Borneo, and New Guinea - are best known to tropical ecologists, they are also found in other parts of the world, including the Amazon. The new research looks specifically at an area known as the Pastaza-Maraón...

Global carbon dioxide emissions increase to new all-time record, but growth slowing down
2014-12-17 23:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: 2013 saw global CO2 emissions from fossil fuel use and cement production reach a new all-time high. This was mainly due to the continuing steady increase in energy use in emerging economies over the past ten years. However, emissions increased at a notably slower rate (2%) than on average in the last ten years (3.8% per year since 2003, excluding the credit crunch years). This slowdown, which began in 2012, signals a further decoupling of global emissions and economic growth, which reflects mainly...
