Irish Times: As global carbon dioxide, emissions teetered on the threshold of 400 parts per million (PPM) for the first time in three million years, delegates from countries all over the world yesterday started another round of talks on how to tackle climate change. Hawaiis Mauna Loa Observatory recorded CO2 levels of 399.72ppm last week. It looks like the world is going to blow through the 400ppm level without missing a beat, said Ralph Keeling of the US Scripps Institution of Oceanography, which runs...

Carbon dioxide concentration to hit record levels this week
2013-04-29 20:44:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: The concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has reached 399.72 parts per million (ppm) and is likely to pass the symbolically important 400ppm level for the first time in the next few days. Readings at the US government's Earth Systems Research laboratory in Hawaii, are not expected to reach their 2013 peak until mid May, but were recorded at a daily average of 399.72ppm on 25 April. The weekly average stood at 398.5 on Monday. Hourly readings above 400ppm have been recorded six times...
Increased Carbon Dioxide Levels Damage Coral Reefs
2013-04-17 10:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Public Radio: Scientists have been worried about coral reefs for years, since realizing that rising temperatures and rising ocean acidity are hard on organisms that build their skeletons from calcium carbonate. Researchers on Australia's Great Barrier Reef are conducting an experiment that demonstrates just how much corals could suffer in the coming decades.

Carbon dioxide removal can lower costs of climate protection
2013-04-12 22:16:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Directly removing CO2 from the air has the potential to alter the costs of climate change mitigation. It could allow prolonging greenhouse-gas emissions from sectors like transport that are difficult, thus expensive, to turn away from using fossil fuels. And it may help to constrain the financial burden on future generations, a study now published by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) shows. It focuses on the use of biomass for energy generation, combined with carbon capture...
