Artificial trees: How ASU scientists are hoping to slow global warming
2015-11-11 23:35:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Arizona Republic: Scientists at Arizona State University are developing new technology capable of capturing excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, a task they believe is paramount to current efforts to reduce emissions. "We're essentially trying to find a way to balance the carbon budget," said Christophe Jospe, chief strategist for ASU's Center for Negative Carbon Emissions. CO2 traps heat, and though the Obama administration's Clean Power Plan addresses current emission levels, scientists at the CNCE say...

Thermal sensitivity of marine communities reveals most vulnerable to global warming
2015-11-11 19:05:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: The sensitivity of marine communities to ocean warming rather than rising ocean temperatures will have strong short-term impacts on biodiversity changes associated with global warming, according to new research. The study, involving scientists from the Universities of Southampton (UK), Stockholm (Sweden) and Tasmania (Australia), found that while some communities a set of interacting species are comprised of species that live at the edge of how much heat they can tolerate, others may have...

Australia: Greens back 1.5-degree warming limit, turning up heat on Labor, Coalition

Sydney Morning Herald: The Australian Greens have endorsed calls by Pacific Island nations for a climate treaty limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees, putting further distance between its policies and those of the Turnbull government and the Labor Opposition. The move comes as the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) revealed carbon-dioxide levels reached another annual record in 2014, continuing a "relentless rise", according to its chief Michel Jarraud. The national conference of the Greens over the weekend...

Warming set breach 1C threshold
2015-11-09 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BBC: Global temperatures are set to rise more than one degree above pre-industrial levels according to the UK's Met Office. Figures from January to September this year are already 1.02C above the average between 1850 and 1900. If temperatures remain as predicted, 2015 will be the first year to breach this key threshold. The world would then be half way towards 2C, the gateway to dangerous warming. The new data is certain to add urgency to political negotiations in Paris later this month aimed...

World Bank: Global Warming Could Send Millions into Poverty by 2030
2015-11-09 14:24:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Without the right policies to keep the poor safe from extreme weather and rising seas, climate change could drive over 100 million more people into poverty by 2030, the World Bank said on Sunday. In a report, the bank said ending poverty - one of 17 new U.N. goals adopted in September - would be impossible if global warming and its effects on the poor were not accounted for in development efforts. But more ambitious plans to reduce climate-changing emissions - aimed at keeping global temperature...
