"My emphasis will be on being purposeful, methodical, calm, and conscientious," he told Fairfax radio. "And the last thing I want...

West Australian: Battlelines have already been drawn for the next Parliament, with Labor's most influential figures vowing to oppose Tony Abbott's core pledge to abolish the carbon tax. As business groups swung behind the Prime Minister-elect to demand Labor respect Mr Abbott's "clear mandate", outgoing deputy prime minister Anthony Albanese and senior Labor MPs said they had their own mandate to protect. Mr Abbott emphasised his carbon mandate claim when he met the secretary of the Department of Prime Minister...

Microbes Living in Deep Ocean Absorb Carbon Using Chemical Energy
2013-09-06 17:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: They may not absorb enough carbon to curtail global warming, but the microbes that call the deep ocean home absorb enough of it to merit further study, according to a paper published in the International Society of Microbial Ecology (ISME) Journal. Lead author of the paper Tim Mattes, an associate professor of civil and environmental engineering at the University Iowa, explained that while most are familiar with the role of trees and grass in absorbing carbon from the air, organisms such as bacteria...

Dark Ocean Carbon Absorption Not Enough To Restrict Global Warming
2013-09-06 16:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
RedOrbit: A new study led by the University of Iowa shows that although microbes that live below 600 feet where light doesnt penetrate the so called dark ocean-- might not absorb enough carbon to curtail global warming, they do absorb considerable amounts of carbon, meriting further study. The findings of this study were published in the International Society of Microbial Ecology Journal. While many people are familiar with the concept of trees and grass absorbing carbon from the air, Tim Mattes, associate...
