Decline in greenhouse gas emissions would reduce sea-level rise, save Arctic Sea ice
The threat of global warming can still be greatly diminished if nations cut emissions of heat-trapping greenhouse gases by 70 percent this century, according to a new analysis. view more (2009-04-15)
Stratified seawater disrupts the transport of imposex substances
Researchers from the University of Amsterdam have demonstrated that the climate in South Mexico changed following the collapse of the Maya empire. From preserved pollen grains the paleoecologists could deduce that the climate quickly became dryer. The climate becoming dryer, explains the decrease in the population following the collapse of the... view more... (2002-01-24)
Crystal sponges excel at sopping up CO2
Since the Industrial Revolution, levels of carbon dioxide--a major contributor to the greenhouse effect--have been on the rise, prompting scientists to search for ways of counteracting the trend. view more (2005-12-02)
Detox cure for art treasure
Many museums and churches own pieces of art which were treated with toxic pesticides in the past. Between the 1940’s and 80’s, it was quite usual to protect wood against insects and microorganisms with PCP (pentachlorophenol), DDT and lindane. Though the adverse effect was only recognized later: Lindane and PCP evaporate into the air,... view more... (2002-09-09)
Climate change could impact vital functions of microbes
Global climate change will not only impact plants and animals but will also affect bacteria, fungi and other microbial populations that perform a myriad of functions important to life on earth. view more (2008-06-03)
Study yields mixed results on potential for pine trees to store extra carbon dioxide
Southern pines appear to grow and conserve water somewhat better in the carbon-dioxide-enriched atmosphere expected by mid-century, a Duke University study has found. view more (2005-08-10)
Controversial new climate change results
New data show that the balance between the airborne and the absorbed fraction of carbon dioxide has stayed approximately constant since 1850, despite emissions of carbon dioxide having risen from about 2 billion tons a year in 1850 to 35 billion tons a year now. view more (2009-11-11)
Low levels of contamination also influence mortality rate
Navarre doctor Rosa Mar'a Al'¡s Brun has shown, in her PhD thesis defended at the Public University of Navarre, that, despite contamination rates in Pamplona being very low, these still have an influence on death rates. view more (2004-08-20)
Storing carbon dioxide below ground may prevent polluting above
A new analysis led by an MIT scientist describes a mechanism for capturing carbon dioxide emissions from a power plant and injecting the gas into the ground, where it would be trapped naturally as tiny bubbles and safely stored in briny porous rock. view more (2007-02-12)
RAND study: Alternative fossil fuels have economic potential
Alternative sources of fossil fuels such as oil sands and coal-to-liquids have significant economic promise, but the environmental consequences must also be considered, according to a RAND Corporation study issued today. view more (2008-10-08)
Stressed crops emit more methane than thought
Scientists at the University of Calgary have found that methane emission by plants could be a bigger problem in global warming than previously thought. view more (2009-08-18)
North Pole's ancient past holds lessons for future global warming
Detailed information on greenhouse gasses and a subtropical heat wave at the North Pole 55 million years ago is providing information about the Earth's past as well as a portent for its future, according to reports in the June 1 issue of Nature. view more (2006-06-01)
Study Finds Plenty of Carbon Dioxide Storage Capacity Underground in Kentucky
As concern has grown over the effects of the human release of carbon dioxide (CO2) gas into the atmosphere, so too has research into technologies to manage CO2. view more (2006-10-09)
'Green' roofs may help put lid on global warming
"Green" roofs, those increasingly popular urban rooftops covered with plants, could help fight global warming, scientists in Michigan are reporting. view more (2009-09-24)
Increased carbon dioxide in atmosphere linked to decreased soil organic matter
A recent study at the University of Illinois created a bit of a mystery for soil scientist Michelle Wander - increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere was expected to increase plant growth, increase plant biomass and ultimately beef up the organic matter in the soil -- but it didn't. view more (2008-03-12)
ESF Task Force for Clean Solar Energy
The European Union and its member states are being urged by leading scientists to make a major multi million Euro commitment to solar driven production of environmentally clean electricity, hydrogen and other fuels, as the only sustainable long-term solution for global energy needs. view more (2006-06-13)
Climate swings have brought great CO2 pulses up from the deep sea
May 10, 2007, The Earth Institute at Columbia University—A study released today provides some of the first solid evidence that warming-induced changes in ocean circulation at the end of the last Ice Age caused vast quantities of ancient carbon dioxide to belch from the deep sea into the atmosphere. view more (2007-05-14)
Planet-sized solutions for global warming: International experts evaluate the options
Big ideas for reducing the impacts of climate change are being evaluated by an international line-up of leading scientists from the US, mainland Europe and the UK at a symposium in Cambridge this week. The scientists are coming together to evaluate which large-scale bio-engineering, geo-engineering and chemical engineering ideas to combat global... view more... (2004-01-05)
Replacing corn with perennial grasses improves carbon footprint of biofuels
Converting forests or fields to biofuel crops can increase or decrease greenhouse gas emissions, depending on where - and which - biofuel crops are used, University of Illinois researchers report this month. view more (2008-12-03)
Study critiques corn-for-ethanol's carbon footprint
To avoid creating greenhouse gases, it makes more sense using today's technology to leave land unfarmed in conservation reserves than to plow it up for corn to make biofuel, according to a comprehensive Duke University-led study. view more (2009-03-03)
