EPA Should Recognize Roles Of Biomass, Biotechnology In Mitigating Global Warming, BIO Says
2014-06-09 10:54:14| pollutiononline Home Page
The Environmental Protection Agency should recognize that carbon emissions from renewable biomass are fundamentally different from those of fossil fuels and that biotechnology can and must play a key role in mitigating fossil carbon emissions, the Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) noted recently in response to the agency’s Carbon Pollution Emission Guidelines for Existing Stationary Sources: Electric Utility Generating Units
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...

Global warming playing a role in Australias record heat
2014-06-07 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: On the heels of the warmest 12-month period in Australia's recorded history, parts of the country experienced an unusually strong stretch of warm autumn weather in May. Global warming has aided the string of record-breaking temperatures, according to Australia's Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) and other scientists, and will continue to increase the odds that new records will be set in the future. Maximum temperature anomalies (compared to 1961--1990 average) across Australia from May 8 to 26, 2014....

Global Warming Alert: Soaring Temperatures Threatens Coral Reefs - UN

International Business Times: A U.N. report released on Thursday said the continuing rise in the average temperature of the Earth's climate system is posing irreversible damages to the coral reefs in the world's smaller islands. The study by the United Nations' Environment Programme (UNEP) said coral reefs found along the Indian Ocean to the Caribbean are at risk of the warming waters which kill the tiny animals that form corals with their stony skeletons. Of all the ecosystems on Earth, the "corals .. are probably the...
How Weeds Could Help Feed Billions in a Warming World

Yale Environment 360: Weeds that resemble knee-high grass grow in planter pots in a small room at a U.S. Department of Agriculture lab just outside Washington, D.C. Light, heat, and carbon dioxide reach the plants at steady levels. For more than a month, the weeds have sustained the same conditions expected to be earths norm 35 years from now -- carbon dioxide levels equivalent to an urban traffic jam, and temperatures tipping into the dangerous zone for the planets health. N. Burgos, University of Arkansas Red rice...
