Rising Global Warming Speeds Up Carbon Dioxide Emissions of Ocean Waters
2014-06-10 23:55:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Business Times: A new study released by researchers from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland has said the release of carbon dioxide emissions by the world's oceans is being heightened up by the continued rise of global warming temperatures. Scientists studied a 26,000-year-old sediment core from the Gulf of California to find out how the ocean's ability to take up atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) has changed over time. The team specifically analysed the abundance of silicon and iron concentrations of fossilised...

EPA carbon proposal crucial step in addressing global climate change
2014-06-10 17:21:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mongabay: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) June 2nd regulation proposal hit all the expected chords. Following on the heels of a January regulation for new power plants, the Clean Power Plan focuses on all existing electric generation. By 2030, the plan aims to reduce 2005-level carbon dioxide emissions by 30 percent and soot and smog-causing pollutants by 25 percent. It may also alter the national and global climate change dialogue more than expected. As mongabay.com reported before its release,...

Mountain forests store 40 percent more carbon than expected
2014-06-10 15:44:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mongabay: It's not easy to measure carbon in mountain forest ecosystems. For one thing, climbing into these forests can be difficult, exhausting, and even treacherous. For another, many mountain rainforests are almost constantly blanketed by clouds-hence the term "cloud forest"-making it problematic to measure above-ground carbon storage from the air or satellite. But a new review study in Biogeosciences found that many estimates of carbon storage in montane tropical forests have been largely underestimated....
