Why Your Company Should Buy Carbon Offsets
2014-09-05 10:22:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Huffington Post: Most of us want to do something good for the environment. An easy way is to spend a few dollars buying carbon offsets, perhaps to make us feel less guilty about that long-haul flight we're planning. Turns out those offsets could be more valuable than we thought. A study released on Wednesday and led by Imperial College London found that offsetting one tonne of carbon dioxide can bring up to $664 in benefits to the communities where carbon reduction projects are based. The biggest share comes...

Blue and Green: New research has valued the benefits of carbon offsetting at $664 (403) per tonne, judging the positive impacts on communities where carbon reduction projects take place. As a result, researchers say businesses have an opportunity to use the voluntary carbon market in their sustainability strategies. The research Unlocking the hidden value of carbon offsetting was carried out by the Imperial College London in partnership with the International Carbon Reduction and Offsetting Alliance (ICROA)....

Carbon emissions from electricity grid rise after carbon price repeal
2014-09-04 07:58:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Carbon emissions from the electricity grid rose after the repeal of the carbon price, with analysts predicting further increases as coal-fired power takes a greater share of Australias energy mix. In the year to August 2014, emissions were 1m tonnes higher when compared with the year to June 2014. This is equivalent to an increase of 0.8% in emissions. The data from the National Electricity Market, which covers about 80% of Australias population, shows that the leap in emissions is the largest...
Carbon stored in worlds soils more vulnerable to climate change than expected
2014-09-04 00:10:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: The response of soil microbial communities to changes in temperature increases the potential for more carbon dioxide to be released from the world's soils as global temperatures rise, scientists have revealed. The potential for global warming to stimulate decomposition rates in soils, and thus release large quantities of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, has long been considered to be one of the potentially most important positive feedbacks to climate change. However, the results from more recent...
