Carbon Dioxide Levels Just Hit Their Highest Point 800,000 Years
2014-04-09 10:59:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ThinkProgress: The concentration of carbon dioxide, the greenhouse gas that drives climate change, hit 402 parts per million this week - the highest level recorded in at least 800,000 years. The recordings came from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association`s Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii, which marked another ominous milestone last May when the 400 ppm threshold was crossed for the first time in recorded history. Carbon dioxide (CO2) levels spike every spring but this year the threshold was crossed...
U.S. Wind Power Cut Nearly 100 Million Tons Carbon Emissions in 2013

EcoWatch: Wind energy figures from 2013 keep pouring in and they continue to impress. According to a report preview from the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA), wind generation reduced carbon dioxide emissions in the power sector by 4.4 percent. That`s good for 96 million metric tons, or the equivalent of taking 16.9 million cars off the road. Wind energy is leading the U.S. to a low carbon future," Emily Williams, a senior policy analyst for AWEA, said in a statement. "Not only is wind energy...
Carbon dioxide in atmosphere may be reduced by deserts,study says

Prensa Latina: A new study has found that arid regions, among the biggest ecosystems on the planet, soak up unexpectedly large amounts of carbon. As levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) rise in the atmosphere, the deserts are likely to absorb more of the greenhouse gas and lower its impact. "They are a major sink for atmospheric carbon dioxide, so as CO2 levels go up, they'll increase their uptake of CO2 from the atmosphere," said Professor Dave Evans, from Washington State University in the US. "They'll help take...

Businesses call for stronger policy to avoid trillion tonne carbon milestone
2014-04-08 07:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: A coalition of global businesses has called on world leaders to prevent a trillion tonnes of carbon from entering the atmosphere, by promoting clear low-carbon policies. The Trillion Tonne Communiqué, a coalition of 70 companies including Mars, Unilever, Adidas and EDF, and co-ordinated by the Prince of Waless Corporate Leaders Group, has called for the measures in order to avoid climate disasters. The Communiqué said that governments must set targets to achieve zero net emissions before 2100...

Brazing Paste joins carbon steel parts.
2014-04-07 14:30:35| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today
Paired with copper filler metals, EFK Brazing Paste can be dispensed through automatic applicators and handheld squeeze bottles. Product is for use in brazing of carbon steel parts in exothermic and endothermic controlled atmosphere furnaces. Paste exhibits no hot or cold slump, will not spatter, and leaves minimal residue under broad range of part cleanliness and atmosphere conditions. In addition, EFK will adhere to part surfaces even after application and drying for 2–4 hr. This story is related to the following:Brazing Paste
