The world's oceans are absorbing less carbon dioxide (CO2), a Yale geophysicist has found after pooling data taken over the past 50 years. With the oceans currently absorbing over 40 percent of the CO2 emitted by human activity, this could quicken the pace of climate change, according to the study, which appears in the November 25 issue of Geophysical Research Letters. Jeffrey Park, professor of geology and geophysics and director of the Yale...

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands - Even after the U.S. and China set targets this week for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the world's combined pledges ahead of next month's climate summit fall far short of what experts say is needed to avert dangerous global warming.

With the unraveling of the temperature aspect of global warming, what about the other half of the equation? What about the rise in CO2 levels in the atmosphere. The AGW theory rests on two pillars; the rise in CO2 levels in the atmosphere correlated with the rise in temperatures over the previous several decades. As even Ken [...]

Global warming alarmists cannot be trusted as the grim scenarios they paint are reminiscent of the Jimmy Carter-era predictions of an oncoming ice age...Al Gore’s recent attack on Indians who use kerosene stoves is in poor taste. His private plane uses more fuel in 500 miles than 1,000 poor families would use in three years.

Today, new studies published in The Lancet show that strategies to reduce greenhouse gases also benefit human health. The Lancet series highlights case studies on four climate change topics -- household energy, transportation, electricity generation, and agricultural food production. Researchers say that cost savings realized from improving health will offset the cost of addressing climate change and, therefore, should be considered as part of...

OPINION: Despite world attention, humans emit more greenhouse gases every year than they did the year before. It's a situation that Australia needs to help turn around if we don't want to bear the brunt of climate change, says Chief Scientist Professor Penny Sackett.

Air pollution in Tehran, photo: Hamid Najafi via flickr. Forget about climate change for one moment, a series of six papers appearing in The Lancet says that reducing CO2 and other greenhouse gases has "major direct health benefits." The papers examine case studies in electricity generation, household energy use, transportation and food and agriculture and the health implications for each in both high- and low-income nations:...Read the full...

Greenhouse gas emissions have kept increasing, reaching a record level since the pre-industrial era, the UN climate agency warned Monday, just weeks before a crucial climate change summit."Levels of most greenhouse gases continue to increase," said the World Meteorological Organisation in a statement."In 2008, global concentrations of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide, which are the main long-lived greenhouse gases in the atmosphere...

Obama will travel to Copenhagen next month to attend the climate change conference, ending weeks of uncertainty over whether he would go and after intense pressure from Europe for his presence. Obama will offer to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 17 per cent from 2005 levels by 2020, a 30 per cent reduction by 2025 and a 42 per cent drop by 2030... After he attends the summit on December 9, he will fly to Oslo to collect his recently awarded...

ZDNet - Found 1 hour agoCurrent climate change theory says CO2 is one of the gases that is causing global warming. Researchers say the additional CO2 entering the atmosphere is stable and can remain for thousands of years. As fast as plants absorb CO2, more is being added. The IPCC says the additional CO2 is partially due ... Price of global warming cuts may stop deal at U.N. meeting - USA Today...
