Arctic Methane Emissions Certain to Trigger Warming
2014-05-02 02:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: As climate change melts Arctic permafrost and releases large amounts of methane into the atmosphere, it is creating a feedback loop that is "certain to trigger additional warming," according to the lead scientist of a new study investigating Arctic methane emissions. The study released this week examined 71 wetlands across the globe and found that melting permafrost is creating wetlands known as fens, which are unexpectedly emitting large quantities of methane. Over a 100-year timeframe, methane...

Wetland emissions mean more methane
2014-05-01 22:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate News Network: Methane emissions are rising globally because wetlands especially in northern latitudes are releasing more than anyone had realised, a team of researchers based in Canada says. Apart from fossil fuels and agricultural production, methane emissions also come from natural sources such as microbes in saturated wetland soils, and scientists say new studies show it is much more damaging than carbon dioxide emissions. The bad news is that global emissions of methane appear to be rising. The...
