Pacific Northwest forests could store more carbon, help address greenhouse issues
The forests of the Pacific Northwest hold significant potential to increase carbon storage and help mitigate greenhouse gas emissions in coming years, a recent study concludes, if they are managed primarily for that purpose through timber harvest reductions and increased rotation ages. view more (2009-07-06)
Action needed now for Minnesota to reach goals in reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 2015
The state of Minnesota must act now if it wants to reach its Minnesota Next Generation Energy Act goals of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 15 percent by 2015, according to a team of University of Minnesota transportation and public policy researchers. view more (2008-07-23)
Biofuel carbon footprint not as big as feared, Michigan State University research says
Publications ranging from the journal Science to Time magazine have blasted biofuels for significantly contributing to greenhouse gas emissions, calling into question the environmental benefits of making fuel from plant material. But a new analysis by Michigan State University scientists says these dire predictions are based on a set of... view more... (2009-01-16)
Carbon emissions trading in Europe: Lessons to be learned
For the past three years, the European Union has been operating the world's largest emissions trading system and the first system to limit and to trade carbon dioxide emissions. view more (2008-06-11)
Purdue researchers propose way to incorporate deforestation into climate change treaty
Purdue University researchers have proposed a new option for incorporating deforestation into the international climate change treaty. view more (2008-04-23)
Complex carbon picture clearer
Study shows that more plant litter resulting from higher CO2 could boost the amount of carbon released into the atmosphere. view more (2007-12-12)
Researchers Predict Future Of Federal Climate Change Policy
The future of federal climate change policy is likely to include a host of strategies such as a national cap on carbon dioxide emissions, mandatory standards on renewable energy, mandatory efficiency standards on vehicles and products, and a national carbon dioxide cap-and-trade scheme, according to new research conducted by the University of New... view more...

Revealing new applications for carbon nanomaterials in hydrogen storage
An international research team, involving Professor Rajeev Ahuja at Uppsala University and researchers in the USA, set out to understand the mechanism behind the catalytic effects of carbon nanomaterials. view more (2009-03-12)
Researchers make breakthrough in the production of double-walled carbon nanotubes
In recent years, the possible applications for double-walled carbon nanotubes have excited scientists and engineers, particularly those working on developing renewable energy technologies. view more (2008-12-23)
Kyoto will have little effect on global warming
Life expectancy and prosperity will continue to rise and food production should keep up with population growth, but the Kyoto agreement will have little effect on global warming according to this week's Christmas issue of the BMJ. Using official statistics and global trends, Bj'¸rn Lomborg, Director of the Danish Environmental Assessment Institute... view more... (2002-12-18)
Better regional monitoring of CO2 needed as global levels continue rising
Monitoring Earth's rising greenhouse gas levels will require a global data collection network 10 times larger than the one currently in place in order to quantify regional progress in emission reductions, according to a new research commentary by University of Colorado and NOAA researchers appearing in the April 25 issue of Science. view more (2008-04-25)
Decoding mushroom's secrets could combat carbon, find better biofuels & safer soils
Researchers at the University of Warwick are co-ordinating a global effort to sequence the genome of one of the World's most important mushrooms - Agaricus bisporus. view more (2007-07-18)
Air pollution from ships - a serious threat
Emissions from ships may bring as much nitrogen oxide to the atmosphere as the total amount of emissions coming from the USA. International shipping along the Norwegian coast and in the Northern Atlantic Ocean contributes largely to the formation of ground-level ozone and acidification of the shores. Air pollution from ships may be twice as bad as... view more... (2004-03-30)
Cold storage solution for global warming?
Researchers from the University of Leicester and the British Geological Society (BGS) have proposed storing CO2 in huge underground reservoirs as a way of reducing emissions- and have even identified sites in Western Europe that would be suitable. view more (2007-02-07)
Dramatic developments at Kilauea Volcano: Scientists work to keep public safe and informed
Explosive eruptions and noxious gas emissions at Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii this week have prompted scientists to work around the clock to understand what will happen next and how to keep the public out of harm's way. view more (2008-03-28)
Is global warming unstoppable?
In a provocative new study, a University of Utah scientist argues that rising carbon dioxide emissions - the major cause of global warming - cannot be stabilized unless the world's economy collapses or society builds the equivalent of one new nuclear power plant each day. view more (2009-11-23)
Emission choices lead to starkly different futures for Northeast agriculture, says CU expert at briefing
Farmers will be the first to feel the heat from global warming as they grapple with new and aggressive crop pests, summer heat stress and other sobering challenges that could strain family farms to the limit, warns David Wolfe, a Cornell expert on the effects of climate change on agriculture. view more (2007-07-12)
Yale report cites emerging carbon finance market
Climate change is an unprecedented global problem and an emerging carbon finance market will play a critical role in addressing it, asserts a newly published Yale report. view more (2008-11-07)
Siberian lakes burp "time-bomb" greenhouse gas
Frozen bubbles in Siberian lakes are releasing methane, a greenhouse gas, at rates that appear to be "... five times higher than previously estimated" and acting as a positive feedback to climate warming, said Katey Walter, in a paper published today in the journal Nature. view more (2006-09-08)
Dust threatens Kyoto protocol
On the eve of the Earth Summit in Johannesburg, scientists at UCL have detected a flaw in the Kyoto protocol`s global plans to reduce the impact of global warming, all because of something as simple as atmospheric dust. Dr Mark Maslin of UCL`s Environmental Change Research Centre explains: "Dust is vital to the health of the planet. This is not... view more... (2002-08-07)
