Upcoming Developments in International Governance of Marine Carbon Dioxide Removal

Law Columbia

The next week has the potential to bring important developments for international governance of marine carbon dioxide removal (CDR). seaweed) for carbon storage. Solar radiation management is distinct from CDR. to 2 o C in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement.

The definitive CO2/CH4 comparison post

Real Climate

, but it inevitably brings forth a mish-mash of half-remembered, inappropriate or out-of-date comparisons between the impacts of carbon dioxide and methane. So this is an attempt to put all of that in context and provide a hopefully comprehensive guide to how, when, and why to properly compare the two greenhouse gases.

The CO2 problem in six easy steps (2022 Update)

Real Climate

Step 1: There is a natural greenhouse effect. This means that there is an upward surface flux of IR around (~398 W/m 2 ), while the outward flux at the top of the atmosphere (TOA) is roughly equivalent to the net solar radiation absorbed (~240 W/m 2 ). Step 2: Trace gases contribute to the natural greenhouse effect.

There are other things that will get the headlines (the expected time before we get to 1.5ºC or 2ºC, the headline SLR numbers, the ‘unprecedented rate’ statement, constraints on climate sensitivity , carbon cycle feedbacks, the implications for the carbon budgets etc.), 1981) which can be seen here. 1, SPM, AR5.

Analysis: How fast can we stop Earth from warming??

A Greener Life

Picture how a radiator heats a home. Water is heated by a boiler, and the hot water circulates through pipes and radiators in the house. The radiators warm up and heat the air in the room. The radiators are, in fact, cooling down, but their stored heat is still warming the air in the room.

Major US and European labs join forces to tackle climate change

Physics World

It found that greenhouse-gas emissions emitted by the lab in 2018 was 223 800 tonnes of carbon-dioxide equivalent. In 2020, the lab released its first public Environment Report that detailed the status of CERN’s environmental footprint. Leading by example: going green in the lab.

How is Ocean Warming Impacting the Shipping Industry?

Ocean Conservancy

Some in the industry see the warming as an opportunity, as passages through the Arctic open for longer periods, even going so far as to claim there will be lower overall greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the shorter voyages.
