If that much near-surface permafrost thaws, it could release considerable amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, and that could amplify global warming. We could be underestimating the rate of global temperature increase.
- David Lawrence (I)Deepening our understanding of the global environmental services, in addition to the local environmental services provided by no-till activities, is of critical importance as the world faces a major challenge in reducing the risks associated with greenhouse gas emissions and global climate change.
- Michael WalshAdding greenhouse gases to CEPA is an essential step in Canada`s plan to meet its Kyoto Protocol target.
- John BennettWe now have the specter that new forests might increase greenhouse warming through methane emissions rather than decrease it by sequestering CO2. This paper will undoubtedly unleash controversy, not the least of which will be political.
- David LoweDenmark, the Netherlands and Germany have detailed plans to cut their greenhouse emissions by 20 to 50 percent.
- Alana BeardChina will soon emit more greenhouse gases than America, but its regime knows if it caps aspirations there will be a revolution.
- Alfred Russel WallaceGiven that, and assuming that we begin to adjust to issues like climate change and the greenhouse effect, Denver`s location in the center of the country becomes a tremendous advantage.
- Alison LewisFrom what I understand of the domestic offset program, the government has decided they would like to have any investments in greenhouse gas reduction projects stay in Canada,
- Antoinette DeshoulieresU.S. states discharge a heavy responsibility to invest on behalf of millions of public employees. We believe it is inevitable that at some point the U.S. will join the other G8 countries and introduce limitations on the emissions of greenhouse gases. That is why we are leading investor collaboration to gather the data on corporate greenhouse gas emissions required to undertake prudent investment management. And that is why CalPERS, CalSTRS and the California Treasury are participants in the Carbon Disclosure Project. We encourage fund managers interested in our business to follow suit.
