Improving poor soil with burned up biomass

2016-06-19 18:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

ScienceDaily: Science in Japan have shown that torrefied biomass can improve the quality of poor soil found in arid regions. Published in Scientific Reports, the study showed that adding torrefied biomass to poor soil from Botswana increased water retention in the soil as well as --the amount of plant growth. When high temperatures and the absence of oxygen are used to bring about the decomposition of biomass residue from agricultural products such as grains, the result is a charcoal-rich substance called biochar....

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...

World could warm by massive 10C if all fossil fuels are burned

2016-05-23 17:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Guardian: The planet would warm by searing 10C if all fossil fuels are burned, according to a new study, leaving some regions uninhabitable and wreaking profound damage on human health, food supplies and the global economy. The Arctic, already warming fast today, would heat up even more 20C by 2300 the new research into the extreme scenario found. I think it is really important to know what would happen if we dont take any action to mitigate climate change, said Katarzyna Tokarska, at the University...
