Introduction Indoor air pollution Improved stoves Wood-gas stoves Charcoal Resources Half of humanity cooks over woodfires -- the poorer half. But it's not enough -- more than 2 billion people are facing fuelwood shortages. For most, there's little alternative to burning wood -- wood energy is here to stay.
In fact burning wood is no bad thing: the efficient use of wood fuel is much more eco-friendly than more efficient and convenient fuels like kerosene and natural gas (LPG). And as long as wood burning is sustainable and doesn't cause deforestation, its CO2 emissions are neutral -- the CO2 released in the fire simply gets recycled back into more trees. In fact the evidence shows that woodfuel use is not a major cause of deforestation (the main causes are commercial logging and pressure for more farmland) . , Wood Energy News, Vol. 12 No. 2, FAO-RWEDP, 1997 , Dr. Library&page=Document&DocumentID=5729 by Prof. Acre | Environmental Jobs | CSR Jobs & Sustainability Jobs | Climate Change Recruitment. Isaac Held's Blog. 44. Heat uptake and internal variability — part II I’m returning to an argument discussed in post #16 regarding the decomposition of the global mean warming into a part that is forced and a part that is due to internal variability.
I am not looking here for the optimal way of doing this decomposition. I am just interested in getting a better feeling for whether an increasing ocean heat content over time is a “smoking gun” for the forced component being dominant, a term Jim Hansen and others have used in this context. I’ll assume that we know that the heat flux has been into, not out of, the earth system (ie the oceans) averaged over the period in question, which could be the last half century or any period longer than a decade or two to insure that we can think in terms of a transient climate sensitivity (or transient climate response TCR) for the forced component. (AR5 WG1 Ch. 3 has a synthesis of the observations of ocean heat content). Read the rest of this entry » 43. 41. 40. . 38. Welcome to CMI. United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.

April 09 2014 | Research Reports New Commentary Urges Climate Scientists to “Set the Record Straight” We just published a commentary in Earth’s Future, a new online, open-access journal published by the American Geophysical Union. The commentary is entitled: “Climate Scientists Need to Set the Record Straight: There is a scientific consensus that human-caused climate change is happening.”
In the commentary, we argue that the climate science community needs to do more to communicate the scientific consensus because: (a) most Americans don’t know there is a scientific consensus on this point; (b) this lack of awareness undermines people’s engagement in the issue; and (c) research by our team – and others – has shown that simple messages that communicate this basic scientific conclusion are highly effective, especially with political conservatives. We encourage you to download the commentary and join the effort to set the record straight. Continue reading Continue reading Continue reading Topics. BBC/OU Open2.net - Climate Change.
