Fossil Fuel, Wildfire, and Fort McMurray
2016-05-30 11:45:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Science Blogs: Four weeks after a wildfire began in the Canadian province of Alberta, thousands of structures in Fort McMurray have been destroyed, over 100,000 people have been evacuated, and 2200 square miles have gone up in smoke. The fire has also shut down commercial extraction of tar sands, a source of fossil fuel and the reason for Fort McMurrays prosperity. Greg Laden points out the perverse cause and effect of it all: tar sands contribute to global warming, global warming contributes to weather variation...

Stuff: An 8C rise would occur if we kept burning fossil fuels, which would change the face of the planet, a climate scientist says. Q: What would happen to the atmosphere if we burned all our fossil fuels? A: Professor James Renwick, school of geography, environment and earth sciences, Victoria University says: If we were to use up all of our planet's fossil-fuel resources, we'd increase the global average temperature by about 8 degrees Celsius globally by 2300, Canadian scientists report in Nature...

What happens if burn all the fossil fuels?
2016-05-29 08:23:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Ars Technica: It has been decades since we recognized the threat of climate change, yet very few governments have instituted policies that address the threat. The first strong international agreement was only established very recently. Meanwhile, the companies that supply fossil fuels continue to push exploration for new supplies. Under those circumstances, it's fair to consider what would happen if the burning of fossil fuel continued unabated. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change typically considers...
Burning all fossil fuels would scorch Earth: study

PhysOrg: Average temperatures would climb by up to 9.5 degrees Celsius (17 degrees Fahrenheit)-five times the cap on global warming set at climate talks in Paris in December, they reported. In the Arctic region-already heating at more than double the global average-the thermometer would rise an unimaginable 15 C to 20 C. Burning all known reserves of oil, gas and coal would inject about five trillion tonnes of heat-trapping carbon into the atmosphere, mainly in the form of carbon dioxide, a team wrote...
