Computer models show how deep carbon could return to Earth's surface
2013-03-18 22:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Computer simulations of water under extreme pressure are helping geochemists understand how carbon might be recycled from hundreds of miles below Earth's surface. The work, by researchers at the University of California, Davis, and Johns Hopkins University, is published March 18 in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Carbon compounds are the basis of life, provide most of our fuels and contribute to climate change. The cycling of carbon through the oceans, atmosphere...

With a Big If, Science Panel Finds Deep Cuts Possible in Auto Emissions and Oil Use
2013-03-18 21:37:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New York Times: A panel convened by the National Academy of Sciences has concluded that deep cuts in oil use and emissions of greenhouse gases from cars and light trucks are possible in the United States by 2050, but only with a mix of diverse and intensified research and policies far stronger than those pursued so far by the Obama administration. Sadly, much of the report has a "same as it ever was" feel, including a push for "feebates" on efficient vehicles balanced by a surcharge on gas guzzlers (something...

Deep trouble: How sea-rise could cause havoc in South Florida

Miami Herald: The maps were intended to show how rising sea levels threaten some of Miami-Dade Countys most vital facilities. If they prove anywhere close to accurate, the fate of three major sewage plants would represent only the tip of a hulking, hugely expensive iceberg of concerns for South Florida. Drawn up by climate scientists as part of an environmental lawsuit, the maps indicate the plants in coastal South Miami-Dade, North Miami and Virginia Key would remain dry in coming decades. But theyd be...
