Study Shows Which Countries are Responsible for Cost of Environmental Damages from Global Warming

Tropical forests are home to more of the world's terrestrial biodiversity than any other habitat, but are increasingly threatened by the impact of human activities. Illegal logging, in particular, poses a severe and increasing threat to tropical forests worldwide. But, until now, its impact on tropical wildlife has not been quantified.

Study Shows Which Countries are Responsible for Cost of Environmental Damages from Global Warming

All countries have contributed to recent climate change, but some much more so than others. Those that have contributed more than their fair share have accumulated a climate debt, owed to countries that have contributed less to historical warming.

Advanced Climate Model Simulations Show Broad Disagreement in Annual CO2 Sequestration Amount in Northern Eurasia

In a new assessment of nine state-of-the-art climate model simulations provided by major international modeling centers, Michael Rawlins at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and colleagues found broad disagreement in the amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) annually sequestered in tundra and boreal ecosystems of Northern Eurasia, a vast, understudied region of the world.

Pieter Hoff Published

Dutch inventor Pieter Hoff published "The Treesolution" about solving CO2 over-concentration and climate change. The interesting part of the book is that Hoff doesn't discuss whether climate change exists. He explains that that discussion distracts the attention from the real problem: the undisputable fact that CO2 concentration in the air rises measurable.
