New study re-writes the rules of carbon analysis
2015-06-30 17:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: A new study published in Nature Climate Change has found analyses of carbon emissions may be misleading as they failed to include the impacts of policies such as trading schemes, emission caps or quotas. "The inclusion of policy mechanisms can radically alter the outcomes from life-cycle analyses and result in counter-intuitive outcomes," said Associate Professor Andrew Macintosh from The Australian National University (ANU) College of Law, lead author of the study. "Traditional life-cycle analysis...

Waste key to global climate protection, German study says
2015-06-30 12:18:52| Waste Management - Topix.net
Growing amounts of waste put an increasing burden on the climate, particularly in newly industrialising countries, where greenhouse gas emissions are rising, according to a new study for the German environment agency. While Germany has been able to reduce harmful emissions through waste processing, the waste management industry in many developing and newly industrialising countries, as well as in numerous OECD countries and the United States, could do much more to contribute to climate protection.

Soil water, microbes influence carbon in world's coldest desert, study finds
2015-06-30 03:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Soil water and microbes' respiration contribute to fluctuations of carbon dioxide in the world's coldest desert, where climate change is expected to increase underground moisture and microorganisms, an Arizona State University and Dartmouth College study finds. The findings appear in the journal Antarctica Science. In the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica, climate warming is creating wetter conditions that are changing the soil in this climate-sensitive ecosystem. Previous studies have shown that...

Recent mercury pollution on the rise, but quick to change, study shows
2015-06-29 23:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: A Dartmouth-led study using a 600-year-old ice core shows that global mercury pollution increased dramatically during the 20th century, but that mercury concentrations in the atmosphere decreased faster than previously thought beginning in the late 1970s when emissions started to decline. The findings suggest that present-day efforts to cut mercury emissions will reduce pollution more quickly than current models predict. The study appears in the journal Environmental Science & Technology. ...
