Including Harvested Grain Biogenic CO2 to Address a Critical Flaw in Climate Accounting
Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The international climate accounting system excludes both the biogenic CO2 sequestered in harvested crops and the biogenic CO2 emissions that occur when grain is digested or burned as biofuel. Despite being described in the literature as a critical flaw in climate accounting all parties within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate

Energy input is primary controller of methane bubbling in subarctic lakes [PDF]
, 2014 Emission of methane (CH4) from surface waters is often dominated by ebullition (bubbling), a transport mode with high‐spatiotemporal variability. Based on new and extensive CH4 ebullition data, we demonstrate striking correlations (r2 between 0.92 and 0 ...

False Twins: Intergenerational Injustice in Nuclear Deterrence and Climate Inaction
Global Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Nuclear deterrence and climate inaction wrong future generations by imposing potential existential harm through climate‐related disasters and nuclear winter. While increasingly explored in tandem, key differences in their intergenerational justice dimensions are overlooked. First, the timelines for imposing harm differ.
