Rising surface ozone reduces plant growth and adds to global warming
Scientists from three leading UK research institutes have today released new findings that could have major implications for food production and global warming in the 21st century. view more (2007-07-26)
Landmark U.S. Geological Survey Study
A new landmark study published today documents for the first time the process in which increased mercury emissions from human sources across the globe, and in particular from Asia, make their way into the North Pacific Ocean and as a result contaminate tuna and other seafood. view more (2009-05-04)
Adaptation to global climate change is an essential response to a warming planet
Temperatures are rising on Earth, which is heating up the debate over global warming and the future of our planet, but what may be needed most to combat global warming is a greater focus on adapting to our changing planet, says a team of science policy experts writing in this week's Nature magazine. view more (2007-02-08)
'Immediate And Long-term Health Benefits' From Reduction In Sulphur Emissions (p 1646)
Reducing the sulphur content of pollutants can have a substantial impact in reducing death from respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, conclude authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET which describes the effect of a public-health initiative in Hong Kong. A change in law to restrict sulphur emissions was introduced in Hong Kong in... view more... (2002-11-20)
Physicists find evidence for highest energy photons ever detected from Milky Way's equator
Physicists at nearly a dozen research institutions, including New York University, have discovered evidence for very high energy gamma rays emitting from the Milky Way, marking the highest energies ever detected from the galactic equator. view more (2005-12-14)
'Clunkers' Program Is Expensive Way to Cut Carbon Emissions
New UC Davis estimates say the federal government's Cash for Clunkers program is paying at least 10 times the "sticker price" to reduce emissions of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide. view more (2009-08-14)
Unexpected growth in atmospheric CO2
A team of scientists has found that atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) growth has increased 35 percent faster than expected since 2000. The findings are published this week in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). view more (2007-10-23)
Researchers find way to cut cattle methane, threat to environment, by 25 percent
Beef farmers can breathe easier thanks to University of Alberta researchers who have developed a formula to reduce methane gas in cattle. view more (2009-05-08)
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)
To climate-change worries, add one more: extended mercury threat
Mercury pollution has already spurred public health officials to advise eating less fish, but it could become a more pressing concern in a warmer world. view more (2009-01-08)
Ancient climate change may portend toasty future
Scientists, including Ken Caldeira of the Carnegie Institution's Department of Global Ecology, have found that the Earth's global warming, 55 million years ago, may have resulted from the climate's high sensitivity to a long-term release of carbon. view more (2006-12-08)
Mobile laboratory "sniffs" traffic pollutants
A new mobile laboratory makes it possible to study traffic pollutants in actual traffic conditions. The mobile laboratory, which can be used to measure exhaust gases both on roads and in tunnels as well as in underground sites, can shed new light on the amount and size distribution of exhaust gases. Fine particles in exhaust gasses are being... view more... (2003-06-02)
Concentrating emissions
Researchers at MIT have shown the benefits of a new approach toward eliminating carbon-dioxide (CO2) emissions at coal-burning power plants. view more (2009-09-22)
Automated tailgating cuts pollution
An automated way of allowing cars to drive much closer to each other in heavy moving traffic, so-called platooning, could cut congestion, save fuel and cut greenhouse gas emissions, according to research published today in Inderscience's International Journal of the Environment and Pollution. view more (2007-07-12)
Carbon sinks: Issues, markets, policy
With reducing carbon emissions on the national agenda, a group of expert panelists will discuss methods, markets, testing and policy issues on how carbon sinks or carbon sequestration may be used to reduce atmospheric CO2. view more (2008-09-29)
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)
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)
Terror warning over laptops
DUNCAN GRAHAM-ROWE, WASHINGTON DC AIRLINERS could be brought down by terrorists using modified versions of almost any personal electronic equipment, a security expert has warned. He says passengers should be barred from carrying any electronic gadgets onto aircraft until planes are able to detect them. Chet Uber, a technology expert at Security... view more... (2002-09-11)
Thawing permafrost increases greenhouse gas emission from subarctic mires
The permafrost in the mires of subarctic Sweden is undergoing dramatic changes. The part of the soils that thaws in the summer, the so-called active layer, has become deeper since 1970 and the permafrost has disappeared altogether in some locations. This has lead to significant changes in the vegetation composition and subsequent increase in... view more... (2004-02-24)
