The Tundras Greenhouse Gas Contribution
2013-10-10 22:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
RedOrbit: Arctic tundra is often thought of as a barren wasteland that has no direct bearing on global events. However, a team of Scandinavian scientists is warning that the tundra could be a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions if temperatures in the Arctic continue to rise. "The soil below the tundra contains very large quantities of carbon more than twice as much as is present in the planet`s entire atmosphere, explained Magnus Lund, an Arctic researcher from Aarhus University in Denmark....

Greenhouse gas emissions from livestock can be cut by 30%, says FAO
2013-09-26 01:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Greenhouse gas emissions from livestock could be cut by up to 30% if farmers adopt better techniques without having to overhaul entire production systems, according to a study released on Thursday by the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO). The FAO said emissions associated with livestock added up to 7.1 gigatonnes (GT) of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2-eq) per year or 14.5% of all human-caused greenhouse releases, slightly less than its controversial estimate in 2006. In its highly...
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions could prevent premature deaths
2013-09-24 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LiveScience: Reducing the flow of the greenhouse gases that spur global warming could prevent up to 3 million premature deaths annually by the year 2100, a new study suggests. Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide trap heat, helping warm the globe. The surge in carbon dioxide levels due to human activity since the Industrial Revolution is now causing an overall warming of the planet that is having impacts around the globe. And the burning of fuel generates not only carbon dioxide, but also air pollutants...
