Agence France-Presse: Vegetation will release far less extra carbon dioxide in a warming world than previously assumed, giving humans a bit more room in the fight against climate change, scientists reported recently. Despite this good news, efforts to curb greenhouse-gas emissions must still be stepped up to avoid dire climate impacts, the researchers cautioned. Earth`s plants and soil microbes absorb and exude huge quantities of heat-trapping carbon dioxide, the main driver of global warming. Over the course of a...

Eat less meat to avoid dangerous global warming, scientists say

Guardian: Growing food for the worlds burgeoning population is likely to send greenhouse gas emissions over the threshold of safety, unless more is done to cut meat consumption, a new report has found. A widespread switch to vegetarianism would cut emissions by nearly two-thirds, it said. In three decades, emissions related to agriculture and food production are likely to account for about half of the worlds available carbon budget - the limited amount of carbon dioxide and its equivalents that can...

Guardian: A record number of Americans believe global warming will pose a threat to their way of life, new polling data shows, amid strengthening public acceptance that rising temperatures are being driven by human activity. I think a shift in public opinion and consciousness has been underway for several years now, Michael Mann, a prominent climate scientist at Pennsylvania State University, told the Guardian. A spokesman for 350 Action, the political arm of climate activist group 350.org, said meanwhile...
