This week, carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere finally crossed the 400 parts-per-million mark. The last time that happened was 3-5 million years ago during the Pliocene epoch, several million…

For the first time in five million years the earth’s atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide is about to rise above 400…
Rising levels of ocean acidification may not be as damaging for marine life as previously thought. Growing concerns over…
Dust blown off the Southern Ocean is directly related to past rapid climate change. Oceanographic processes are linked to…
A carbon price of under $100 per tonne of carbon dioxide would help to make fossil fuels less economical than renewable energies…
Microbes have been found thriving in even the deepest spot on the ocean floor. Research found the Mariana trench, nearly…
A new study clarifies the link between carbon dioxide and temperature increases. Ice core samples from the last glacial period…
You may not immediately think of world records when you consider chemistry, but that’s exactly what some chemists are thinking about during their research. Many, working on something called metal-organic…
The Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency’s 2012 report, indicates that global CO₂ emissions increased by 3% in 2011…
Greenhouse gas cuts pledged by developed countries will not be enough to stop temperatures rising by 2 degrees by 2100, according to Chinese researchers who argue wealthy nations should bear greater responsibility…
Elevated levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide affect carbon cycling and accelerate soil carbon loss in forests. The evidence…
Severe droughts, floods and landslides devastated parts of the world last year as carbon dioxide concentrations climbed to the highest levels in recorded history, according to a global report on climate…
We price carbon. This is nothing new. The first time this explicitly happened, Vanilla Ice hit number one in Australia, and Bryan Adams was topping the global charts with “(Everything I do) I do it for…
You’ll doubtless have heard Australia is introducing a “carbon tax” this Sunday to reduce “carbon pollution”. What is being controlled is not just any carbon but emissions of a specific gas, carbon dioxide…
The recent furore about the carbon tax in this country has not been a celebration of enlightened debate. I think much of the debate misses a vital aspect of carbon use, namely, that using carbon to make…
Ancient land-crawling animals may have used the complex bone structures in their skin to process carbon dioxide, deterring…
Bacteria that live in seabeds could provide vital knowledge about the global carbon cycle. The bacteria deep in the ocean…
In his latest article for The Conversation Dr. David Karoly reports on the proceedings of a recent Canberra symposium on “Geo-engineering the Climate”. In his article, Dr. Karoly presents an insightful…
DURBAN CLIMATE CHANGE CONFERENCE: A paper published yesterday shows global industrial emissions of carbon dioxide, overwhelmingly from fossil fuels, jumped by 5.9% from 2009 to 2010. This is a big increase…
One of the biggest challenges in our fight against climate change is reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the energy sector. Approximately 87% of current global primary energy supplies (and 67…
