Deciphering the ‘SPM AR6 WG1’ code

Real Climate

The problems with the SPM are similar those from the previous fifth assessment report which prompted me to write a post in 2013. I think in hindsight that my concerns from 2013 to some extent were supported by the fact that the IPCC organised an Expert Meeting on Communication, Oslo, Norway, 9–10 February 2016.

Susannah Pierce: A Climate Villain Painting Big Oil Green

Enviromental Defense

Just days before the conference she was featured in an article where she attempted to shift blame away from the fossil fuel industry by saying that oil companies can only decarbonize as fast as the rest of the economy – a comment that completely ignores the fact that the oil and gas industry is Canada’s largest source of greenhouse gas emissions.

Forest recovery in the age of megafires – how can we predict if forests grow back?

HumanNature

Forests are incredibly good at storing carbon, in both soils and plants. When forests burn, that carbon is released into the atmosphere and contributes to greenhouse gases (mostly as carbon dioxide). Normally when a forest regrows after a fire, it’s able to capture that carbon dioxide and store it again.

The ITLOS Advisory Opinion and Marine Geoengineering: More Questions, Few Answers

Law Columbia

The first, known as greenhouse gas (GHG) removal , seeks to mitigate climate change by pulling GHGs – most commonly carbon dioxide – out of the atmosphere and durably storing them. based company—Planktos— announced plans to undertake a project aimed at removing and storing carbon dioxide.

Tackling Agricultural Methane: An Overview of the Science

Legal Planet

Agricultural greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the raising of livestock and growth of crops for human consumption represent 14% of global GHG emissions. While burning methane to generate energy releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, the overall climate impact is reduced and the gas could potentially replace fossil fuel sources.)

The Bottom Line: Are incentives enough to offset the costs of “carbon-smart” farming practices?
