Higher temperature alone led to increased losses of pollutants, whereas higher organic carbon content retained more pollutants in the model ecosystems.

Previous studies have suggested that temperature and, more specifically, atmospheric carbon dioxide levels influence body size more via an indirect impact on food availability and nutritional content.

Today, as we pump more CO2 into the atmosphere, slightly more flows from the atmosphere into the ocean, leaving enough to increase the atmospheric CO2 concentration, and increasing the oceans carbon content.

(Don't take that as good news, because it has correspondingly lower energy content so you burn more of it as compared to higher carbon coal like Anthracite; Powder River coal is mined largely because of its low sulfur content).

The gasoline also did contain some hydrogen that burned to form water, so the 3:1 ratio Jeff references probably was for gasoline (not containing ethanol) but adjusted for the mass content of the hydrogen in the gasoline and is likely more accurate than the 3.67 ratio of carbon to carbon dioxide masses.

The carbon content then declines for two reasons — there is less forest becoming farm and more farmland over which to average the gains.

For example, we have captured that forests have much higher carbon content than farmland, and that farms using conservation techniques contain more carbon than those using conventional practice.

And while indicators like ocean heat content may respond more quickly or dramatically to the carbon emissions that cause climate change, surface temperature is more closely related to the effects of climate change — and the effects, after all, are what climate policies at any level are intended to ease.

Victor argues that policymakers should instead focus on a suite of «vital signs» that are more tightly linked to carbon emissions, including atmospheric carbon - dioxide concentrations, ocean heat content, and high - latitude temperature changes.

On Sunday, the best climate policy in the world got even better: British Columbia's carbon tax — a tax on the carbon content of all fossil fuels burned in the province — increased from $ 25 to $ 30 per metric ton of carbon dioxide, making it more expensive to pollute.

If you're putting organics out back, probably the best use for that is to put it in our landfills to help us create methane gas to create energy or to bring it to a wheelabrator plant to create energy, because that organic waste is going to have a carbon content that's going to help us create more energy.

From the more than 60,000 coal samples in the File, 5,426 were identified as containing data on heat value and the ultimate analysis (6) needed for developing the relationship between carbon and heat content of the coal, that is, the carbon dioxide emission factors.
