Japan, the birthplace of the Kyoto Protocol, has actually seen carbon emissions increases rose by nearly 9% above 1990 emissions levels, according to new data released yesterday.
Under the Kyoto Protocol, Japan is committed to reducing its emissions by six percent from the benchmark year in the period between 2008 and ...

This composite image shows the fraction of the photosynthetically available radiation that was absorbed by land vegetation for photosynthesis in the continental United States during the period March 24-April 8, 2000. The image shows the proportion of sunlight actually absorbed by plants versus the total available energy in those wavelengths ...

Global Carbon Sinks Organized by Intensity - Yellow, Red, Blue, Purple
All living organisms contain carbon. Organisms that absorb more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere than they emit are called "carbon sinks." Those that emit more carbon dioxide than they absorb are called "carbon sources."
Rainforests and oceans are ...
