Cutting Methane, Soot Not Enough to Tackle Warming
2014-11-04 22:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: If the race to warm the planet were a children's allegory, carbon dioxide would be considered the tortoise, while soot and methane would play the role of the hare. In reality, as in fairy tales, the tortoise is going to win. Recent focus on targeting methane, soot and other short-term pollutants to combat climate change is not going to keep global warming in check if CO2 is not also slashed to stop its long-term impact, a new study says. The research, published this week in the Proceedings...

Soot from Canadian wildfires may have increased Greenland ice melt

He is with the Geological Survey of Greenland and Denmark. They found that soot is covering immense areas of the ice-sheet, darkening and increasing its heat absorption, causing melting to increase. The soot may be from a variety of sources including burning of coal, diesel, dung and wood. Its also thought that greatly increased soot this year is due to...

Climate Impact of Soot Is Exaggerated, Study Says
2014-09-27 16:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: The global warming effect of 'black carbon,' or soot, has been greatly exaggerated due to mistaken assumptions about the atmospheric altitude at which its particles are concentrated, according to a new study. Emissions should be the focus of climate efforts, rather than soot, say team in a Nature paper. Soot plumes belch from chimneys, stoves and forest fires, causing numerous health ailments and, it was thought, a contribution to climate change second only to carbon dioxide. But when recent...
