Acid damage to coral reefs could cost $1 trillion

2014-10-08 19:46:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

New Scientist: Ocean acidification is set to cost us $1 trillion by 2100 as it eats away at our tropical coral reefs. That's the warning from a report released today by the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity, which assesses the economic impacts the problem could have. The ocean's pH is now 8.0, down from 8.1 in the mid-18th century. Because the pH scale is logarithmic, this change means that, over the past 250 years, the world's oceans have seen a 26 per cent increase in acidity - a result...

ScienceDaily: More than $100 trillion in cumulative public and private spending, and 1,700 megatons of annual carbon dioxide (CO2) -- a 40 percent reduction of urban passenger transport emissions -- could be eliminated by 2050 if the world expands public transportation, walking and cycling in cities, according to a new report released by the University of California, Davis, and the Institute for Transportation and Development Policy (ITDP). Further, an estimated 1.4 million early deaths could be avoided annually...

The $90 Trillion Climate-Stabilizing Cookbook

2014-09-16 22:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Climate Central: We're baking the world; on track to raise global temperatures by more than 7°F by burning fuels, raising livestock, bulldozing forests, and allowing cities to sprawl as they grow. Pulling the planet out of the costly slow-cooker of old-fashioned traditions in time to avoid the worst of global warming might not be easy. But doing so would make the world a richer place. That was the message in The New Climate Economy Report, a 72-page paper produced by an international panel of leading economists,...
