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…
Rivers and streams in the United States are releasing substantially more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than previously…
Country-by-country estimates of CO2 emissions typically include only those emissions produced from the burning of fossil…
The construction of new buildings, power-plants and roads has driven a substantial increase in China’s carbon dioxide emissions…
Life is woven out of air by light – Jacob Moleschott Before starting to write this article, I asked my eight-year-old boy what he knew about how plants grow. He answered: “Plants take food from the air…

Researchers have seen first-hand how future oceans may look, with higher carbon dioxide levels leading to acidification and…
The big question about the carbon tax is not whether it’s a good or a bad idea in theory. The major issue is whether it makes sense for Australia to implement it at a time of great uncertainty, both in…
Dead plant material known as litterfall provides energy to soil microorganisms, leading to a release of stored soil carbon…
Cutting emissions of non-carbon dioxide greenhouse gases could slow changes in climate that are expected in the future. Other…
Wildfires have returned to the Arctic tundra after a 10,000-year absence. Researchers have quantified the amount of soil-bound…
Some of the first evidence that climate change is negatively impacting the ocean carbon sink has been identified. Researchers…
The ability of land ecosystems like crops and soils to slow down climate change may have been overestimated because some of these ‘carbon sinks’ actually emit more greenhouse gases than first thought…
It won’t surprise many people that world carbon emissions have failed to slow down, but the fact we’re now at risk of surpassing targets set for nine years hence, intended to limit the global rise in temperature…
Researchers have developed a coordinated network of sites across Australia to provide measurements of energy, carbon and…
