Cutting down forests for agriculture vents excess carbon dioxide into the air just as industrial activities and the burning of fossil fuels do. But whether policies to stabilize greenhouse gases in the atmosphere should include this terrestrial source of carbon dioxide is under debate. According to a new study this week in Science, failing to include land use changes in such policies could lead to massive deforestation and higher costs for limiting carbon emissions. http://www.physorg.com/news162739940.html Space & Earth Thu, 28 May 2009 14:32:55 EST news162739940 (PhysOrg.com) -- Emitting carbon dioxide slower will not prevent dangerous climate change unless it involves phasing out carbon dioxide emissions altogether, before we reach an upper limit of one trillion tonnes of carbon, a team led by Oxford University scientists has concluded. http://www.physorg.com/news160325270.html Space & Earth Thu, 30 Apr 2009 15:48:55 EST news160325270 Specific measures to tackle climate change, such as emissions trading, will only be successful if they are coherently supported by other government policies addressing economic and social issues, says a report published today by the Partnership for European Environmental Research (PEER). PEER membership is formed from seven of the biggest European environmental research institutes. http://www.physorg.com/news157285578.html Space & Earth Thu, 26 Mar 2009 11:31:34 EST news157285578 Sweden's government on Wednesday presented what it described as Europe's "most ambitious" strategy to improve energy efficiency and cut greenhouse gas emissions. http://www.physorg.com/news156002589.html Space & Earth Wed, 11 Mar 2009 15:04:01 EST news156002589 Long-term climate change policy in the U.S. and abroad is likely to change very slowly, warns a researcher who calls for stronger short-term goals to reduce carbon emissions, according to a study published in Decision Analysis, a journal of the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS). http://www.physorg.com/news134145006.html Space & Earth Tue, 01 Jul 2008 15:30:06 EST news134145006
