Arctic Thawing Could Cost the World $60tn, Scientists Say

Methane released by a thinning permafrost may trigger catastrophic climate change and devastate global economy. Polar Cruises/Flickr Rapid thawing of the Arctic could trigger a catastrophic “economic timebomb” which would cost trillions of dollars and undermine the global financial system, say a group of economists and polar scientists. Governments and industry have expected the widespread warming of the Arctic region in the past 20 years to be an economic boon, allowing the exploitation of new gas and oilfields and enabling shipping to travel faster between Europe and Asia. But the release of a single giant “pulse” of methane from thawing Arctic permafrost beneath the East Siberian sea “could come with a $60tn [£39tn] global price tag”, according to the researchers who have for the first time quantified the effects on the global economy. Even the slow emission of a much smaller proportion of the vast quantities of methane locked up in the Arctic permafrost and offshore waters could trigger catastrophic climate change and “steep” economic losses, they say.

Reach for the Sun

Photosynthesis, in the form of biochar, may be one of our best defenses against climate change. @Doug88888/Flickr A gigantic, steaming-hot mound of compost is not the first place most people would search for a solution to climate change, but the hour is getting very late. “The world experienced unprecedented high-impact climate extremes during the 2001-2010 decade,” declares a new report from the United Nations’ World Meteorological Organization, which added that the decade was “the warmest since the start of modern measurements in 1850.” Among those extreme events: the European heat wave of 2003, which in a mere six weeks caused 71,449 excess deaths, according to a study sponsored by the European Union. In the United States alone, 2012 brought the hottest summer on record, the worst drought in 50 years and Hurricane Sandy. Besides the loss of life, climate-related disasters cost the United States some $140 billion in 2012, a study by the Natural Resources Defense Council concluded. We can expect to see more climate-related catastrophes soon. In May scientists announced that carbon dioxide had reached 400 parts per million in the atmosphere. Meanwhile, humanity is raising the level by about 2 parts per million a year by burning fossil fuels, cutting down forests, and other activities. To keep reading, click here.

ExxonMobil subsidiary, with arm twisted behind back, agrees to treat fracking wastewater

ExxonMobil subsidiary, with arm twisted behind back, agrees to treat fracking wastewater

eutrophication&hypoxia

XTO’s fracking waste made its way into a tributary of the Susquehanna River.

XTO Energy, an ExxonMobil subsidiary, will reluctantly shell out $20 million to properly treat and dispose of fracking wastewater in Pennsylvania and West Virginia. It will also pay a $100,000 EPA fine as part of a settlement agreement [PDF] over water-pollution charges [PDF].

From PennLive:

The company is accused of violating the Clean Water Act by releasing over approximately 65 days between 6,300 and 57,373 gallons of fluids that contained barium, calcium, iron, manganese, potassium, sodium, strontium, bromide, chloride and total dissolved solids.

A DEP inspector discovered a valve open on one of 57 tanks and its contents flowing on the ground. The fluids got into a subsurface spring and a tributary of the West Branch of the Susquehanna River.

Each of the tanks had a capacity of 21,000 gallons and the one with the valve open was connected with five others, EPA says.

ExxonMobil last year narrowly missed beating its own record for the highest annual profit of any company in history, so we’re guessing it could help out subsidiary XTO with a little cash if need be.
