Gas from thawing permafrost could add further to global warming, study says
2016-02-26 04:35:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Arctic permafrost that is thawing due to global warming is releasing greenhouse gases, further compounding the problem of climate change, according to a study released on Thursday. As the permafrost thaws, changes in the way its soil microbes function and the soil carbon decomposes add to the emissions of carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere, according to the study by U.S. and Chinese scientists. Carbon dioxide and methane are the main greenhouse gases that trap heat and contribute to...
Study: California Leak Was Top Methane Release in U.S. History

Scientists say a gas leak that forced thousands of people from their Los Angeles homes was the largest reported release of climate-changing methane in U.S. history. A study published Thursday in the journal Science says the Southern California Gas Co.

UPDATE 1-Ottawa should scrap railway grain revenue cap -study
2016-02-25 20:56:54| Railroads - Topix.net
Feb 25 Ottawa should phase out over seven years its cap on the amount of revenue railways can earn transporting grain, a study for the Canadian government recommended on Thursday, a move long urged by railways and opposed by farmers and grain handlers. A review of Canadian transportation laws, aimed at modernizing the system, recommended that Western Canadian grain movement become more "commercially grounded."

Study: Bigger Carbon Cuts Needed Prevent Catastrophic Global Warming
2016-02-25 15:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: If the world hopes to avoid the most catastrophic effects of climate change, humanity must emit less than half the carbon dioxide than previously thought in the coming years, a new study shows. In order to keep global warming to no more than 2°C (3.6°F) the basis for the Paris climate agreement struck last year scientists have devised a carbon budget for how much carbon can be emitted before warming crosses into catastrophic territory.

Study calls for leaner carbon budget to slow warming
2016-02-25 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: If the world hopes to avoid the most catastrophic effects of climate change, humanity must emit less than half the carbon dioxide than previously thought in the coming years, a new study shows. In order to keep global warming to no more than 2°C (3.6°F) -- the basis for the Paris climate agreement struck last year -- scientists have devised a "carbon budget' for how much carbon can be emitted before warming crosses into catastrophic territory. Their estimates range from about 590 gigatons (1...
