CO2, Mass Extinction of Species, and Climate Change
Andrew Glikson
Earth and paleoclimate scientist, Australian Earth and paleoclimate scientist, Australian National University
The release of more than 370 billion tons of carbon (GtC) from buried early biospheres, adding more than one half of the original carbon inventory of the atmosphere (~590 GtC), as well as the depletion of vegetation, have triggered a fundamental shift in [...]

Environmental activists are attacking a $60 billion deal that will keep Chinese power stations supplied with Australian coal for at least the next two decades. Under the agreement announced last week, the Australian coal and iron ore mining company Resourcehouse will build a new mining complex to give China Power International Development 30 million tonnes [...]

Pinpointing Emissions at Their Source
The Greenhouse Neutral Foundation was recently alerted to this breaking technology by Alex Salkever of Picarro. Alex directed us to the video below and on viewing; we were excited by the potential of this technology and its broad deployment. While emissions of methane (CH4 a greenhouse gas 25 times a potent as a CO2 for [...]

Activist Biggers fights uphill battle against dirty coal
High unemployment and powerful industry make new mining limits unlikely
Most of us take it for granted that when we flip the switch, the lights will go on. Sure, we write the electric company a monthly check, but otherwise lend no thought to the source of the power — like urban kids clueless that chicken originates [...]

Climate ‘Tipping Points’ May Arrive Without Warning, Says Top Forecaster
(PhysOrg.com) — A new University of California, Davis, study by a top ecological forecaster says it is harder than experts thought to predict when sudden shifts in Earth’s natural systems will occur — a worrisome finding for scientists trying to identify the tipping points that could push climate change into an irreparable global disaster.
“Many scientists [...]

When Coal Flows Between Countries, Who ‘Owns’ the CO2 that results?
Greenhouse Neutral Foundation comment: I have long said that Australia while claiming to have around 1.46% of total global emissions of CO2 exports its contribution proudly for the emissions of 30% of total world export coal. This hypocrisy seems now to be gaining some other popular consensus and discussion. I am pleased to finally see [...]
