The beginning of Leviticus talks about burned animal offerings, but somehow we don't think this is what the writers had in mind.

Soil carbon storage not the climate change fix it was thought, research finds
2016-09-23 02:14:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Hopes that large amounts of planet-warming carbon dioxide could be buried in soils appear to be grossly misplaced, with new research finding that the ground will soak up far less carbon over the coming century than previously thought. Radiocarbon dating of soils, when combined with previous models of carbon uptake, has shown the widely assumed potential for carbon sequestration to combat climate change has been overestimated by as much as 40%. Scientists from the University of California, Irvine...

Greenland may be losing ice even faster than we thought
2016-09-22 14:23:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Washington Post: Rapidly melting Greenland may be shedding its ice even faster than anyone suspected, new research suggests. A study just out in the journal Science Advances finds that previous studies may have underestimated the current rate of mass loss on the Greenland ice sheet by about 20 billion tons per year. Generally, scientists estimate ice loss in Greenland (and elsewhere around the world) using data from satellites. But the new study suggests these satellite studies may have included some incorrect...
Global warming: Greenland ice melting 7 per cent faster than thought

Press Trust of India: Greenland lost nearly 2,700 gigatonnes of ice from 2003-2013, 7.6 per cent more than previously thought, a new study has found. According to researchers from Ohio State University in the US, the hotspot that feeds Icelands active volcanoes has softened the mantle rock beneath Greenland in a way that ultimately distorted their calculations for ice loss in the Greenland ice sheet. This caused them to underestimate the melting by about 20 billion metric tonnes or 20 gigatonnes per year. That means...
