Global Warming Caused by CFCs, Not Carbon Dioxide, Researcher Claims in Controversial Study
2013-05-30 20:24:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are to blame for global warming since the 1970s and not carbon dioxide, according to a researcher from the University of Waterloo in a controversial new study published in the International Journal of Modern Physics B this week. CFCs are already known to deplete ozone, but in-depth statistical analysis now suggests that CFCs are also the key driver in global climate change, rather than carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, the researcher argues. "Conventional thinking says...

Land-based carbon offsets: False hope?
2013-05-30 17:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Leading world climate change experts have thrown cold water on the idea that planting trees can offset carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels. Professor Brendan Mackey of Griffith University Climate Change Response Program is the lead author of an international study involving researchers from Australia and the U.K. Their findings are reported in "Untangling the confusion around land carbon science and climate change mitigation policy," published in the scientific journal Nature Climate Change....

We've reached a troubling carbon dioxide milestone
2013-05-29 13:16:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New Scientist: Atmospheric scientist Ralph Keeling explains the importance of measuring a CO2 concentration of 400 parts per million at the observatory his father set up The Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii has reportedly recorded a carbon dioxide concentration there of 400 parts per million for the first time. How significant is that? It's a psychological milestone. Every year in the last few decades, CO2 concentrations have been going up by about 2 ppm per year. Those changes go unnoticed but people pay...

EU Lawmakers Seek Limits on Carbon Fix Should Block Attempt Fail

Bloomberg: Lawmakers from the biggest group in the European Parliament are seeking to restrict a proposed carbon-market fix should their attempt to block the stopgap measure fail, according to a document obtained by Bloomberg News. The European Union may delay the sales of no more than 900 million carbon allowances to reduce oversupply in the EU emissions-trading system and may intervene only once until 2020, according to an amendment to the carbon-market rescue plan proposed by three members of the European...
