Even more carbon emitted tropical forests

Earth Times: A journal has an interesting article to challenge current climate change theory and global warming solutions in - Global Change Biology. The underestimate of carbon loss arises from selective logging and set fires which can be grouped together as hidden emissions. The hidden nature of tropical deforestation methodology is part of the main problem too. Satellite assessments are unable to view such slow change, but these depredations cause 40% of Brazilian CO2 emissions from deforestation. The Amazon...

Carbon In 15,000 Year-Old Soil Is Contributing To Climate Change
2014-05-26 16:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
HNGN: Scientists found carbon in soil that covered the Earth thousands of years ago. These soils could contribute to global climate change if disturbed through "erosion, agriculture, deforestation, mining and other human activities," a University of Wisconsin-Madison news release reported. "There is a lot of carbon at depths where nobody is measuring," Erika Marin-Spiotta, a University of Wisconsin-Madison assistant professor of geography and the lead author of the new study, said in the news release....

Northern hemisphere hits carbon dioxide milestone in April

Reuters: Carbon dioxide levels throughout the northern hemisphere hit 400 parts per million (ppm) for the first time in human history in April, an ominous threshold for climate change, the World Meteorological Organization said on Monday. The 400 ppm level in the atmosphere, up 40 percent since wide use of fossil fuels began with the Industrial Revolution, is rapidly spreading southwards. First recorded in 2012 in the Arctic, it has since become the norm for the Arctic spring. The WMO expects the global...

There Is a Whole Lot of Carbon in Deep, Ancient Soils

Softpedia: Researchers warn carbon in deep, ancient soils might become a contributor to climate change and global warming In a paper published in the journal Nature Geoscience this May 26, a team of researchers say that, according to evidence at hand, chances are that there is quite a lot of carbon trapped in deep, ancient soils. Besides, the team of specialists warns that, all things considered, it is possible that this carbon will one day become a contributor to ongoing phenomena such as climate change...
Buried Fossil Soils From Long Before Industrialization Are Deep In Carbon

Science 2.0: Soil from thousands of years ago that is now deeply buried has been found to be rich in carbon, adding a new dimension to figuring out the planet's carbon cycle. The element carbon comes in many forms and cycles through the environment land, sea and atmosphere just as water in various forms cycles through the ground, oceans and the air. Scientists have long known about the carbon storage capacity of soils, the potential for carbon sequestration, and that carbon in soil can be released to the...
