Ants play significant role in reducing global carbon emissions, suggests report
2014-07-17 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: A 25-year study conducted by the Geological Society of America has concluded that ants are one of the most powerful biological agents of mineral decay, offering an insight into accelerated methods of carbon dioxide (CO2) storing, or sequestration. The investigation has specifically centred on how the insects interact with minerals, extracting what they need and thus processing the captured resource. By understanding the geo-biology behind ant-mineral interactions, the team hope to geoengineer...
Australian parliament repeals carbon tax, emissions trading scheme

Carbon Emissions: The World Isn't Doing Enough - UN Report
2014-07-10 15:41:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: A recent report from a group of international science institutions claims that the world's top greenhouse gas emitters are largely failing to cut enough carbon emissions in time to prevent drastic climate change. The report releases key preliminary findings from a more detailed report that is slated for release next spring. The authors, experts from 30 scientific institutions from 15 of the world's top greenhouse gas emitting countries, wanted their key findings on the table now to help direct...

Rising Global Warming Speeds Up Carbon Dioxide Emissions of Ocean Waters

Business Times: A new study released by researchers from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland has said the release of carbon dioxide emissions by the world's oceans is being heightened up by the continued rise of global warming temperatures. Scientists studied a 26,000-year-old sediment core from the Gulf of California to find out how the ocean's ability to take up atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) has changed over time. The team specifically analysed the abundance of silicon and iron concentrations of fossilised...
