Biogenic Carbon Emissions are Not Equivalent to Fossil Fuel Emissions, BIO Tells EPA
2014-05-09 06:00:00| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today
BIO "disagrees with the categorization of biogenic CO2 emissions as equivalent to those of fossil fuels" the trade organization wrote in comments to EPA's Proposed Standards of Performance for Greenhouse Gas Emissions from New Stationary Sources: Electric Utility Generating Units. According to Brent Erickson, executive vice president of BIO’s Industrial & Environmental Section, Electric Utility Generating Units firing biomass, regardless of percentage, should not be subject to proposed ...This story is related to the following:Green & CleanSearch for suppliers of:

Rising carbon dioxide levels affect nutrients in crops, study says
2014-05-08 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LA Times: The increased concentration of carbon dioxide that comes with climate change could mean some basic food plants will carry lower concentrations of iron and zinc -- and deficiencies of those nutrients are already a "substantial global public health problem," scientists reported Wednesday. The edible portions of many of the key crops for human nutrition have decreased nutritional value when compared with the same plants grown at the present ambient [carbon dioxide]. - Study published in the journal...

Carbon pollution could make your sandwich less healthy
2014-05-08 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Times: The massive National Climate Assessment (NCA) that came out yesterday was full of sobering lessons about the way that human-caused global warming is changing life around us. That includes human health: the report found that rising temperatures could exacerbate air pollution and allergies, including asthma, while worsening wildfires and killer heat waves. More extreme weather--including frequent heavy downpours--can raise the risk of food and waterborne illness, and allow disease-carrying pests like...

Nature World: Rising carbon dioxide (CO2) levels are zapping greens and legumes of their nutrients, according to a new study in the journal Nature. Pictured: Researchers using the Free Air Concentration Enrichment (FACE) system at the University of Illinois to simulate future atmospheric conditions. Rising carbon dioxide (CO2) levels are zapping greens and legumes of their nutrients, according to a new study in the journal Nature. Atmospheric CO2 concentrations are currently approaching 400 parts per million...
