Beijing restrictions offer case study in emissions of key atmospheric gases
The Chinese government's restrictions on Beijing motorists during a three-day conference last November -- widely viewed as a dress rehearsal for efforts to slash smog and airborne pollutants during the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing -- succeeded in cutting the city's emissions of one important class of atmospheric gases by an impressive 40... view more...

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)
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)
NASA study illustrates how global peak oil could impact climate
The burning of fossil fuels -- notably coal, oil and gas -- has accounted for about 80 percent of the rise of atmospheric carbon dioxide since the pre-industrial era. Now, NASA researchers have identified feasible emission scenarios that could keep carbon dioxide below levels that some scientists have called dangerous for climate. view more (2008-09-11)
Global Warming: Cuts in Greenhouse Gas Emissions Would Save Arctic Ice, Reduce Sea Level Rise
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)
Storage of greenhouse gasses in Siberian peat moor
Wet peat moorlands form a sustainable storage place for the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide but are also a source of the much stronger greenhouse gas methane. According to Dutch researcher Wiebe Borren, peat moorlands will counteract the greenhouse effect under the present climatic conditions. view more (2007-01-31)
Scientists find mercury threatens next generation of loons
A long-term study by the Wildlife Conservation Society, the BioDiversity Research Institute, and other organizations has found and confirmed that environmental mercury-much of which comes from human-generated emissions-is impacting both the health and reproductive success of common loons in the Northeast. view more (2008-03-05)
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)
Technological breakthrough in the fight to cut greenhouse gases
Scientists at Newcastle University have pioneered breakthrough technology in the fight to cut greenhouse gases. view more (2008-04-25)
Catalysis discovery takes aim at NOx emissions
A discovery in molecular chemistry may help remove a barrier to widespread use of diesel and other fuel-efficient "lean burn" vehicle engines. Researchers at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have recorded the first observations of how certain catalyst materials used in emission control devices are... view more...

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)
Growth versus global warming
Houses on stilts, small scale energy generation and recycling our dishwater are just some of the measures that are being proposed to prepare our cities for the effects of global warming. view more (2009-10-14)
New findings contradict a prevailing belief about the inner ear
A healthy ear emits soft sounds in response to the sounds that travel in. Detectable with sensitive microphones, these otoacoustic emissions help doctors test newborns' hearing. A deaf ear doesn't produce these echoes. view more (2008-02-13)
Carnegie Institution
The future of the Earth could rest on potentially dangerous and unproven geoengineering technologies unless emissions of carbon dioxide can be greatly reduced, a new study has found. view more (2009-09-01)
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)
X-rays For Cars
A new device that X-rays coatings on car body parts will help manufacturers ensure that vehicles are properly protected from corrosion. The machine flashes radiation onto the surface of body panels and measures the fluorescent emissions given off. Gaps or defects are then easily spotted, allowing manufacturers to ensure that protective coatings... view more... (1998-10-26)
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)
Electricity: Transforming our current system
A long-term replacement strategy for Britain's ageing electricity network is being developed. It involves the use of computer modelling techniques to simulate the conditions under which a new system would operate. This would indicate how investment should be made in the electricity distribution network to best serve society in the long run. The... view more... (2001-12-05)
NOAA study shows nitrous oxide now top ozone-depleting emission
Nitrous oxide has now become the largest ozone-depleting substance emitted through human activities, and is expected to remain the largest throughout the 21st century, NOAA scientists say in a new study. view more (2009-08-28)
Alarming growth in expected CO2 emissions in China, finds UC analysis
The growth in China's carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions is far outpacing previous estimates, making the goal of stabilizing atmospheric greenhouse gases even more difficult, according to a new analysis by economists at the University of California, Berkeley, and UC San Diego. view more (2008-03-11)
