Disturbed Tropical Forests Store Carbon But Are Slow to Regain Plant Biodiversity, Study Says
2013-11-06 18:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Environment 360: In tropical forests that are regrowing after major disturbances, the ability to store carbon recovers more quickly than plant biodiversity, researchers from the U.K. have found. However, even after 80 years, recovering forests store less carbon than old-growth forests, according to a study published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B. This is likely because regenerating forests are often dominated by small, fast-growing trees and it may take centuries for larger trees, which hold more carbon,...

CO2 pollution levels at annual record high, U.N. says
2013-11-06 10:56:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Detroit Free Press: World carbon dioxide pollution levels in the atmosphere are accelerating and reached a record high in 2012, the U.N. weather agency said today. The heat-trapping gas, pumped into the air by cars and smokestacks, was measured at 393.1 parts per million last year, up 2.2 ppm from the previous year, said the Geneva-based World Meteorological Organization in its annual greenhouse gas inventory. That is far beyond the 350 ppm that some scientists and environmental groups promote as the absolute...
Gap between emissions cuts and dangerous climate change widens, report says
2013-11-06 07:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ClimateWire: Keeping global temperatures below a dangerous threshold by 2020 risks becoming a distant dream, a new U.N. Environment Programme report finds. Greenhouse gas emissions levels are "considerably higher" than what will be needed to keep the global average temperature increase below 2 degrees Celsius, making it increasingly likely that the world will have to rely on costlier technologies like carbon capture and sequestration in order to meet the threshold in the coming decades, the "Emissions Gap...
