Permafrost... It's Chill

During periods of thaw, soil, rocks, small plants, and gases are released from their frozen pockets of ice. Envision water bodies, forests, bogs, streams and ocean ecosystems now receiving thawing water laden with soil and dissolved nutrients; carbon, nitrogen, and other dissolved nutrients are released which organisms use and breathe as additional heat-trapping gases into the atmosphere. Like a sponge, permafrost landscapes have absorbed and released carbon and nutrients during repeated climate swings. Today, the sponge is being squeezed by dramatic warming of northern latitudes, at a rate that is unprecedented for at least 3 million years.

Every year, millions of people make New Year's resolutions that are almost impossible to accomplish. This year, if you'd like to be a bit more environmentally conscious it only takes a few small changes to make a big impact.

China Regulates CO2 Emissions
http://click.1105newsletters.com/?qs=e08bd630bb24fb6b6393ef3b08337d250c80326fe9ad0cf3d7bed523c19bb189d8341464714cc712
In mid-November, the top echelons of China's leadership met for the 3rd Plenum of the 18th Communist Party of China Central Committee and introduced broad economic reforms that could have major impacts on China's goal to drastically reduce CO2 emissions per unit of GDP. In light of China's overall economic expansion and the complexity of the country's fuels market, it is difficult to predict which way these reforms will go but easy to understand that the stakes are high.

Will Montana Coal Go to China?
http://click.1105newsletters.com/?qs=e08bd630bb24fb6beadb02f148f58bd41e7d1647b5366c8eca37ef1a444beaed0998d97085d4b909
As the U.S. set its sights on regulating emissions from coal-fired power plants and eliminating dirty coal from the U.S. market, U.S. coal producers started looking for a new market that would be willing to accept "dirty coal." They found that market, ironically, thousands of miles away, in China. A plan to ship coal from the richest coal reserves- Montana and Wyoming's Powder River Basin-to Chinese and other Asian ports has stirred up opposition from a variety of environmental groups that want comprehensive calculations of the coal's full impact (including the environmental impacts of mining and shipping). These groups raise the question of whether China really wants U.S. coal in the first
place. Underlying these concerns is the fact that Powder River Basin coal is another carbon time bomb, with more potential emissions that our planet can tolerate. Two federal agencies will make decisions this year about the scope of the environmental review for coal export projects that will go a long way towards showing whether this administration is serious about reigning in CO2 pollution.
