US scientist in race to learn from Indonesia's dying glacierJakarta (AFP) July 2, 2010 The only glacier in the western Pacific could disappear in less than five years, taking with it vital clues about the earth's changing climate, a US scientist said Friday.

Warmer Ecosystems Could Absorb Less Atmospheric Carbon DioxideLondon, UK (SPX) Jul 02, 2010 Research by scientists at Queen Mary, University of London has found that a predicted rise in global temperature of 4 degrees C by 2100 could lead to a 13% reduction in ecosystems' ability to absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. Writing in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B, the scientists describe a new model to predict how the carbon storage capacity of ecosystems would respond to future global warming. They tested their predictions against data collected from experime ... read more |
