Assigning Historic Responsibility for Extreme Weather Events

November 2017
Friederike E. L. Otto, Ragnhild B. Skeie, Jan S. Fuglestvedt, Terje Berntsen, Myles R. Allen
Nature Climate Change
Recent scientific advances make it possible to assign extreme events to human-induced climate change and historical emissions. These developments allow losses and damage associated with such events to be assigned country-level responsibility.Read More →

Grazed and confused? Ruminating on cattle, grazing systems, methane, nitrous oxide, the soil carbon sequestration question – and what it all means for greenhouse gas emissions

October 2017
Tara Garnett, Cécile Godde, Adrian Müller, Elin Röös, Pete Smith, I.J.M. de Boer, Erasmus K.H.J. zu Ermgassen, Mario Herrero, Corina van Middelaar, Christian Schader, Hannah H. E. van Zanten
Oxford University
The report dissects claims made in the debate about so called ‘grass-fed’ beef, the greenhouse gases the animals emit, and the possibility that, through their grazing actions, they can help remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Read More →
