The Revenge of the Climate Reparations
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach Much of the current angst at the UN regarding climate has to do with the idea of “climate reparations”. These are an imaginary debt supposedly…
And then, they came for the fishermen… 'high seas should be closed to all fishing.'
From the University of British Columbia and the department of eco-nuttery, comes this statement sure to produce blowback. I suspect it is just a matter of time before recreational fishing…
Now, another previously unknown part of the carbon cycle is known: deep sea fish
From the University of Southampton Deep sea fish remove 1 million tonnes of CO2 every year from UK and Irish waters Deep sea fishes remove and store more than one…
A 'regime of wildfire' contributed to carbon sequestration 15,000 years ago
The next time somebody says wildfires in the USA are “unprecedented” show them this. Buried fossil soils found to be awash in carbon “It looks like there was an incredible…
A climate benefit has been discovered in melting ice sheets
From the European Association of Geochemistry and the “Nature always finds a way” department comes carbon capture on the tiniest scale. Study shows iron from melting ice sheets may help…
Climate change accelerating, dirt blamed
from Northern Arizona University Study finds accelerated soil carbon loss, increasing the rate of climate change Research published in Science today found that increased levels of carbon dioxide in the…
Claim: Safe long term storage of CO2 is possible
From the GFZ GeoForschungsZentrum Potsdam, Helmholtz Centre , probably too little too late, as CO2 sequestration projects worldwide are closing. Conclusion of an international project for the geological storage of…
Climate Craziness of the Week: Plants blamed for us not roasting since 1950
From the Department of irrelevant “what ifs”, and Princeton University, comes this story about what Earth would be like if we didn’t have plants pumping the carbon cycle since the…
Carbon capture and storage – the Edsel of energy policies
Guest essay by Steve Goreham Originally published in The Washington Times The war on climate change has produced many dubious “innovations.” Intermittent wind and solar energy sources, carbon markets that…
'plug-and-play' CO2 Scrubbers
From MIT, while “plug-and-play” is cited, it’s just a paper. Getting the carbon out of emissions Proposed method could be more efficient than previous systems and easier to retrofit in…
Carbon sequestration driver: Spiders, why did it have to be spiders?
From the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies New study shows predators affect the carbon cycle A new study shows that the predator-prey relationship can affect the flow of…
National Laboratory pans ocean carbon sequestration scheme
Questions rise about seeding for ocean C02 sequestration – Argonne National Laboratory LEMONT, Ill – A new study on the feeding habits of ocean microbes calls into question the potential…
CO2 sequestration research stumbles onto something useful: a big lithium strike in Wyoming
Guest post by Alec Rawls Most lithium (the lightest metal) is now mined in the Andes (image above), but it looks like the U.S. has more than a little of it…
Modeling future CO2 sequestration
From the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) CO2 removal can lower costs of climate protection According to the analysis, carbon dioxide removal could be used under certain requirements…
James Hansen Says Coal Is Greening The Planet!?!
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach There’s an interesting measure of atmospheric CO2, called the “airborne fraction”. The airborne fraction is the fraction of the CO2 emitted each year which remains…
Impractical Proposal: Dry Ice Sequestration on Antarctic Ice Sheets
An updated proposal to store CO2 on Antarctica Story submitted by John Tillman Story body: In 1995 two Japanese scientists suggested storing carbon dioxide in Antarctic ice caves. Now three…
Now what is 'death train' Hansen going to do? Clean coal process developed to extract energy without burning or CO2
From James Hansen’s, Bill McKibben’s and Joe Romm’s worst nightmare department, comes this uplifting science story from the Ohio State University. Basically they found a way to oxidize coal and…
University of New Hampshire invertedly overheats soil, and pronounces a climate change result
From the University of New Hampshire comes this press release that made me recoil when I read the methodology involved because it is Mannian-Tiljanderish in the approach. Instead of doing…
