Methods for monitoring CO2 emissions have limitations, inadequate for international climate treaty
Current methods for estimating greenhouse gas emissions have limitations that make it difficult to monitor CO2 emissions and verify an international climate treaty, says a new National Research Council letter report to the administrator of NASA, Charles F. Bolden Jr. view more (2009-08-03)
A new measure of global warming from carbon emissions
Damon Matthews, a professor in Concordia University's Department of Geography, Planning and the Environment has found a direct relationship between carbon dioxide emissions and global warming. view more (2009-06-11)
Fish oils reduce greenhouse gas emissions from flatulent cows
The benefits to animals of omega 3 fatty acids in fish oils have been well documented - helping the heart and circulatory system, improving meat quality and reducing methane emissions. view more (2009-03-30)
UA scientists part of Supreme Court case on carbon dioxide emissions
Four faculty members from The University of Arizona in Tucson were part of an amicus curiae brief supporting the plaintiff in today's historic U.S. Supreme Court decision on carbon dioxide emissions and climate change. view more (2007-04-03)
US faces burning emissions issue
Severe United States wildfires can contribute as much as vehicles to carbon emissions in some US states, although the amount is highly variable. view more (2007-11-01)
Biodiesel won't drive down global warming
EU legislation to promote the uptake of biodiesel will not make any difference to global warming, and could potentially result in greater emissions of greenhouse gases than from conventional petroleum derived diesel. view more (2007-04-23)
Groundbreaking Canada-US study proves link between emissions and mercury pollution in fish
A groundbreaking environmental study to be published in a prestigious American science journal proves that mercury atmospheric emissions will end up in fish in as little as three years. view more (2007-09-18)
Denver to Barcelona: Global cities and greenhouse gas emissions
Denver released the largest amount of greenhouse gases (GHG) and Barcelona the smallest amount in a new study documenting how differences in climate, population density and other factors affect GHG emissions in global cities. view more (2009-09-24)
Emissions irrelevant to future climate change?
Climate change and the carbon emissions seem inextricably linked. However, new research published in BioMed Central's open access journal Carbon Balance and Management suggests that this may not always hold true, although it may be some time before we reach this saturation point. view more (2008-04-28)
Chemical Industry Gives Mixed Response to Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Scheme
The Chemical Industries Association (CIA) today expressed concern that the UK's allocation of greenhouse gas emissions is still not finally decided, but applauded the UK Government's decision to press the European Commission for approval of the revised limits. view more (2005-02-15)
Improving China's acid rain control strategy
Scientists are reporting the first evidence that China's sharp focus on reducing widespread damage to soil by acid rain by restricting sulfur dioxide air pollution may have an unexpected consequence: Gains from that pollution control program will be largely offset by increases in nitrogen emissions, which the country's current policy largely... view more...

Emissions rising faster this decade than last
The latest figures on the global carbon budget to be released in Washington and Paris today indicate a four-fold increase in growth rate of human-generated carbon dioxide emissions since 2000. view more (2008-10-02)
Climate protocol may save Amazon region
If Brazil gets a climate protocol, like the Kyoto Protocol for the rich countries, it will be possible to create an incentive for the country to reduce the deforestation of the Amazon region. The Kyoto Protocol targets a reduction of emissions of carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases. In a new study, Martin Persson, in collaboration with Christian... view more... (2004-05-28)
CO2 emissions increasing faster than expected
Carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels - the principal driver of climate change - have accelerated globally at a far greater rate than expected over recent years. view more (2007-05-22)
Explaining the methane mystery
Scientists have explained why atmospheric levels of the greenhouse gas methane have stabilised in recent years, but warn that increases could resume in the near future. view more (2006-09-28)
Verification of national methane estimates now possible
New methods for verifying estimated greenhouse gas emissions, developed by scientists at Royal Holloway, University of London, will play a significant role in assessing reductions in methane emissions, important in national compliance with Kyoto protocol targets. David Lowry, Craig Holmes, Nigel Rata and Euan Nisbet of Royal Holloway’s... view more... (2001-04-25)
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)
Carnegie Mellon urges industry to broaden carbon footprint calculations
Carnegie Mellon University researchers are urging companies to embrace new methods for following the trail of dangerous carbon emissions that are responsible for much of the world's global warming threats. view more (2008-08-18)
Childhood cancers strongly linked to air pollution in early life
Childhood cancers are strongly linked to pollution from engine exhausts, concludes research in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. view more (2005-08-11)
Don't blame cities for climate change, see them as solutions
Cities are being unfairly blamed for most of humanity's greenhouse gas emissions and this threatens efforts to tackle climate change, warns a study in the October 2008 issue of the journal Environment and Urbanization. view more (2008-09-29)
