Masdar And The Dicey Science Of Carbon Credits | Green Prophet

It makes some sense that Masdar City, a carbon neutral city being built in Abu Dhabi, should receive carbon credits. But rewarding large oil companies such as Abu Dhabi’s ADNOC even though they continue to emit carbon into our choking atmosphere, is a much tougher sell.

According to The National, the UN-administered carbon credit scheme will reward Masdar with $1.45 million in carbon credits each year.

[Computer model BS: If the Earth warms to 62 F, maybe apes will go extinct?]: Apes running 'out of time' due to global warming

Global warming may change ape behaviour, which in turn could cause them to run 'out of time', reveals a study.

The study states that rising temperatures and changes in rainfall patterns have strong effects on ape behaviour, distribution and survival, pushing them even further to the brink of extinction.

The researchers, from Roehampton University, Bournemouth University and the University of Oxford used data from 20 natural populations to model the effects of climate change on ape behaviour and distribution.
