Environmental scientists urged to broaden climate advice
2014-09-26 17:09:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: Researchers from the University of Manchester have urged environmentalist scientists to broaden the advice they give on global climate change. The paper, published in the journal Nature Climate Change, argues that some scientists are expressing a strong desire to fix the problems that they highlight in their studies. The researchers argue that there are some problems that come with environmental scientists offering practical solutions that can help societies adapt to fast-changing Earth. Prof...

Scientists rebut NYTimes op-ed 'To Save the Planet, Dont Plant Trees'
2014-09-22 10:39:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mongabay: One of the biggest near-term opportunities to mitigate climate change is to slow down deforestation and forest degradation in the tropics, where the lions share of the worlds forest loss is taking place. Brazil has reduced deforestation rates in the Amazon region by 70%, for example, keeping 3.2 billion tons of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere since 2005 and elevating this nation to global leadership in climate change solutions. In a recent Op-Ed (To Save the Planet, Dont Plant Trees, New...
World carbon budget will be exhausted in a generation, scientists warn

BusinessGreen: Global CO2 emissions reached a record high of 36 billion tonnes in 2013, "eroding the chances" of keeping global warming within internationally recognised safe levels, scientists said today. The 2.3 per cent growth in emissions seen over 2013 is likely to be followed by a further 2.5 per cent rise during this year to 40 billion tonnes -- a level 65 per cent higher than in 1990, according to international research group the Global Carbon Project (GCP), which includes scientists from the universities...

Scientists Report Global Rise in Greenhouse Gas Emissions
2014-09-21 19:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New York Times: Global emissions of greenhouse gases jumped 2.3 percent in 2013 to record levels, scientists reported Sunday, in the latest indication that the world remains far off track in its efforts to control global warming. The emissions growth last year was a bit slower than the average growth rate of 2.5 percent that prevailed over the past decade, and much of the dip was caused by an economic slowdown in China, which is the worlds single largest source of emissions. It may take another year or two to...
