Global Warming
Content and discussion related to global warming-- the science behind it and views from all angles: environmental, cultural, political, economic.
It's easy to shrug off climate change deniers who use incomplete or inaccurate data in their arguments, but it's a harder pill to swallow when supposedly reputable organizations dupe us with exaggerated claims. Yet that's exactly what happened recently with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which purportedly stretched the truth by claiming that deforestation is responsible for 20% of all CO2 produced by people.

The carbon dioxide emissions caused by the destruction of tropical forests have been significantly overestimated, according to a new study. The work could undermine attempts to pay poor countries to protect forests as a cost-effective way to tackle global warming.The loss of forests in countries such as Brazil and Indonesia is widely assumed to account for about 20% of all carbon dioxide produced by human activity – more than the world's...

Tulane University has released a greenhouse gas emissions inventory, a tool that measures an institutions impact on global climate change. The new inventory covers calendar years 2006-2008 and accounts for all Tulane's campuses in New Orleans, as well as campuses and other research buildings in Harahan, Covington and Belle Chasse, La., and in Houston and Biloxi.

In today's news:Gore clears carbon dioxide of most blameBy Andrew Bolt, Australian Herald SunThis is big. Al Gore is now saying carbon dioxide isn’t actually to blame for most of the warming we saw until 2001:"Gore explored new studies - published only last week - that show methane and black carbon or soot had a far greater impact on global warming than previously thought. Carbon dioxide – while the focus of the politics of climate change...

This could leave some companies who have bought certain forest carbon offsets feeling taken.

http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_02.c.298937.de/dp918.pdfAbstract:
Methane is a major anthropogenic greenhouse gas, second only to carbon dioxide (CO2) in its impact on climate change. Methane (CH4) has a high global warming potential that is 25 times as large as the one of CO2 on a 100 year time horizon according to the latest IPCC report. Thus, CH4 contributes significantly to anthropogenic radiative forcing, although it has...
