Australia: Fall in greenhouse gas emissions biggest in 24 years
2014-06-13 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Sydney Morning Herald: Biggest drop in 24 years: Emissions are falling in the power sector - for now. Australia posted its biggest annual reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in 24 years of records in 2013 as the carbon tax helped drive a large drop in pollution from the electricity sector. The latest greenhouse gas inventory, released online without fanfare by the federal government, showed annual emissions excluding changes in land use were estimated at 538.4 million tonnes of carbon-dioxide equivalent in 2013,...

China striving hard to achieve 'peak' greenhouse gas emissions
2014-06-11 08:21:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Commodity Online: City-dwelling Chinese may still be choking on smog, but amid all the haze, China may turning a corner in its fight on pollution. Top Chinese officials have hinted at the fact that China is working hard to achieve "peak" greenhouse gas emissions, which may come sooner than observers expect. "Peak pollution" refers to the point at which a developing country's economy reaches a high enough level of production to ensure it will continue to grow even as it begins to work on reducing pollution rates....
Helping Farmers Around The World Fight Greenhouse Gas Emissions And Climate Change

RedOrbit: Helping farmers around the globe apply more precise amounts of fertilizer nitrogen can combat climate change. That`s the conclusion of a study published this week in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. In the paper, researchers at Michigan State University (MSU) provide an improved prediction of nitrogen fertilizer`s contribution to greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural fields. The study uses data from around the world to show that emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O),...
Warming climates intensify greenhouse gas given out by oceans
2014-06-08 12:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
PhysOrg: Rising global temperatures could increase the amount of carbon dioxide naturally released by the world's oceans, fuelling further climate change, a study suggests. Fresh insight into how the oceans can affect CO2 levels in the atmosphere shows that rising temperatures can indirectly increase the amount of the greenhouse gas emitted by the oceans. Scientists studied a 26,000-year-old sediment core taken from the Gulf of California to find out how the ocean's ability to take up atmospheric CO2...
