Guardian: Talks must start urgently on the world's "carbon budget" the amount of greenhouse gas that can be poured into the atmosphere without triggering dangerous climate change as without radical policies to cut emissions humanity will exceed the limit within 15 to 25 years, the world's leading climate economist has warned. Lord Stern, the former World Bank chief economist and author of the landmark study of the economics of global warming, said the world faced a stark choice. On Friday, after days...

Methane Out, Carbon Dioxide In?
2013-09-27 19:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: A University of Virginia engineering professor has proposed a novel approach for keeping waste carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. Andres Clarens, an assistant professor of civil and environmental engineering at U.Va.'s School of Engineering and Applied Science, and graduate student Zhiyuan Tao have published a paper in which they estimate the amount of carbon dioxide that could be stored in hydraulically fractured shale deposits after the methane gas has been extracted. Their peer-reviewed...
Australia: Carbon cycle tracked as Victoria's forests breathe

Age: Nestled among the dry eucalypt forests behind Nagambie, north of Melbourne, the 36-metre metal ''flux tower'' looks out of place. Far above the sparse grey box and lemon gums it sends out an infrared beam that, 20 times a second, measures the transfer of carbon dioxide between the atmosphere and the landscape. The project is part of scientific efforts to understand one of the big unknown questions in climate science: will soil, trees and plants continue to soak up large amounts of CO2 as the...

Worlds Carbon Budget to Be Spent in Three Decades
2013-09-27 14:22:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
World Resources Institute: The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Changes (IPCC) Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) has delivered an overwhelming consensus that climate change impacts are accelerating, fueled by human-caused emissions. We may have just about 30 years left until the worlds carbon budget is spent if we want a likely chance of limiting warming to 2 degrees C. Breaching this limit would put the world at increased risk of forest fires, coral bleaching, higher sea level rise, and other dangerous impacts. When Will...
