Will Nations Embrace Opportunity to Reduce Black Carbon Emissions and Slow Arctic Warming?
2013-02-05 22:14:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: Arctic nations have an extraordinary opportunity to show global leadership to slow regional warming and melting by embracing a proposal to launch talks on an agreement to reduce emissions of the climate pollutant black carbon. Arctic environment ministers have the power to send a strong signal to the Arctic Council when they gather Feb. 5 and Feb. 6 in Jukkasjärvi, Sweden--only the second time ever--acknowledging black carbon reductions as a priority for regional environmental protection. The...

Sea Urchins Offer a Clue To New Way to Capture Carbon Dioxide
2013-02-05 18:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Environment 360: British researchers have discovered that sea urchins use nickel particles on their exoskeletons to effectively capture CO2 and turn it into a solid form, an intriguing finding that could offer an inexpensive way to capture and store carbon from fossil fuel-fired power plants. Scientists from Newcastle University were studying how marine organisms absorb CO2 to make shells and skeletons when they discovered that sea urchin larvae have a high concentration of nickel on their exoskeletons, which helps...

Could the humble sea urchin hold the key to carbon capture?
2013-02-05 14:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: The discovery that sea urchins use nickel particles to harness carbon dioxide from the sea could be the key to capturing tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. Experts at Newcastle University, UK, have discovered that in the presence of a nickel catalyst, CO2 can be converted rapidly and cheaply into the harmless, solid mineral, calcium carbonate. This discovery, which is published February 5 in the academic journal Catalysis Science & Technology, has the potential to revolutionize...
