11 leading national experts reach consensus on beneficial biofuels
"Done right," biofuels can be produced in large quantities and have multiple benefits, but only if they come from feedstocks produced with low life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions, as well as minimal competition with food production. view more (2009-07-17)
Aerosols may drive a significant portion of arctic warming
Though greenhouse gases are invariably at the center of discussions about global climate change, new NASA research suggests that much of the atmospheric warming observed in the Arctic since 1976 may be due to changes in tiny airborne particles called aerosols. view more (2009-04-09)
Greenhouse gas from English streams
English chalk streams are less healthy than we thought and are potentially even contributing to global warming, said Dr Mark Trimmer at a Science Media Centre press briefing today. view more (2007-12-11)
Methane gas levels begin to increase again
The amount of methane in Earth's atmosphere shot up in 2007, bringing to an end a period of about a decade in which atmospheric levels of the potent greenhouse gas were essentially stable, according to a team led by MIT researchers. view more (2008-10-30)
Seabird Ammonia Emissions Contribute to Atmospheric Acidity
Ammonia emissions from seabirds have been shown to be a significant source of nitrogen in remote coastal ecosystems, contributing to nutrient enrichment (eutrophication) and acidification in ecosystems. view more (2008-09-23)
This idea doesn't stink: New tech cuts industrial odors, pollutants
A North Carolina State University researcher has devised a new technology that really does not stink. In fact, it could be the key to eliminating foul odors and air pollutants emitted by industrial chicken rendering facilities and - ultimately - large-scale swine feedlots. view more (2009-08-27)
Precision climate modeling forecast by ORNL researchers
Climate modeling of tomorrow will feature precision and scale only imagined just a few years ago, say researchers David Erickson and John Drake of Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Computer Science and Mathematics Division. view more (2006-09-11)
Cow power could generate electricity for millions
Converting livestock manure into a domestic renewable fuel source could generate enough electricity to meet up to three per cent of North America's entire consumption needs and lead to a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs), according to US research published today. view more (2008-07-24)
Major grant drives forward cost efficient solar power
Whether the search for alternative energy sources is driven by our concern about global fossil fuel supplies or over the atmospheric effects of burning of fossil fuels, the government has laid out its aim to cut carbon dioxide emissions by 60% of 1990 levels by 2050, and aims to over- achieve its goal of sourcing 10% of energy from renewables by... view more...

Increased environmental carbon levels - the good news!
Increasing carbon levels can be a good thing in some cases: scientists at the University of Durham propose that higher levels of inorganic carbon can have a positive influence on human health. view more (2006-04-03)
Seeing the forest and the trees
With human emissions of carbon dioxide on the rise, there is growing interest in maintaining the Earth's natural mechanisms that absorb and store carbon. view more (2005-10-24)
Byers Supports Battle to Reduce Buildings CO2 Emissions
£18 million launch for 8 new industry research partnerships Office buildings could soon take a breath of fresh air following the launch of a new industry research partnership to promote the take up of green energies in office buildings by Trade and Industry Secretary Stephen Byers. The partnership, INREB (Integration of New and Renewable... view more... (2001-04-30)
New report on deforestation reveals problems of forest carbon payment schemes
A new study by one of the world's leading forestry research institutes warns that the new push to "reduce emissions from deforestation and degradation," known by the acronym REDD, is imperiled by a routine failure to grasp the root causes of deforestation. view more (2007-12-07)
Dried mushrooms slow climate warming in Northern forests
The fight against climate warming has an unexpected ally in mushrooms growing in dry spruce forests covering Alaska, Canada, Scandinavia and other northern regions, a new UC Irvine study finds. view more (2008-11-03)
Modest CO2 cutbacks may be too little, too late for coral reefs
How much carbon dioxide is too much? According to United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) greenhouse gases in the atmosphere need to be stabilized at levels low enough to "prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system." But scientists have come to realize that an even more acute danger than... view more... (2008-09-23)
Vehicle emissions monitoring validates inspection program and offers policy insights
A long-term Georgia Institute of Technology study continues to validate the effectiveness of Georgia's vehicle emissions inspection program in 13 metro Atlanta counties that are part of a federal ozone level non-attainment area. view more (2007-06-18)
Level of important greenhouse gas has stopped growing
Scientists at UC Irvine have determined that levels of atmospheric methane - an influential greenhouse gas - have stayed nearly flat for the past seven years, which follows a rise that spanned at least two decades. view more (2006-11-21)
A WAKE-UP CALL FOR ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH (p 587)
Issue 23 August 2003 Embargoed 0001 h (London time) 22 August 2003. This week's editorial comments on the new energy bill that will increase US domestic energy supply, concluding that the bill's implications for increased energy consumption rather than conservation is 'a step backwards for health'. The US is responsible for 23% of all... view more... (2003-08-20)
New materials can selectively capture carbon dioxide, UCLA chemists report
UCLA chemists report a major advance in reducing heat-trapping carbon dioxide emissions in the Feb. 15 issue of the journal Science. view more (2008-02-15)
Chemists detect toxic emissions linked to catalytic converters in US
A study scheduled for publication in the Dec. 15 issue of the American Chemical Society's journal, Environmental Science and Technology, shows that for the first time, toxic metals emitted from automotive catalytic converters have been detected in urban air in the United States. view more (2005-12-06)
