LIVING GREEN - Tuesday, March 11, 2008
-----------------------------------------------------------
Good morning,
A report on msnbc.com recently indicates that the task of
cutting greenhouse gas emissions enough to avert a
dangerous rise in global temperatures may be far more
difficult than previous research suggested, indicating
that it would require the world to cease carbon emissions
altogether within a matter of decades.
Please scroll down for more details.
Thanks for reading,
Your Living Green editor

Using advanced computer models to factor in deep-sea warming
and other aspects of the carbon cycle that naturally creates
and removes carbon dioxide (CO2), the scientists, from
countries including the United States, Canada and Germany,
are delivering a simple message: The world must bring carbon
emissions down to near zero to keep temperatures from rising
further.
Although many nations have been pledging steps to curb emis-
sions for nearly a decade, the world's output of carbon from
human activities totals about 10 billion tons a year and has
been steadily rising.
But Caldeira and Oregon State University professor Andreas
Schmittner now argue that it makes more sense to focus on a
temperature threshold as a better marker of when the planet
will experience severe climate disruptions. The Earth has
already warmed by 0.76 degrees Celsius (nearly 1.4 degrees
Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial levels. Most scientists
warn that a temperature rise of 2 degrees Celsius (3.6
degrees Fahrenheit) could have serious consequences.
