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)
Health toll of climate change seen as ethical crisis
The public health costs of global climate change are likely to be the greatest in those parts of the world that have contributed least to the problem, posing a significant ethical dilemma for the developed world, according to a new study. view more (2007-11-08)
Forests damaged by Katrina may contribute to global warming
Researchers led by biologist Jeffrey Chambers of Tulane University have determined that the losses inflicted by Hurricane Katrina on Gulf Coast forest trees are enough to cancel out a year's worth of new tree biomass (trunks, branches and foliage) growth in other parts of the country. view more (2007-11-16)
Global warming will negatively impact tropical species
Global warming is likely to reduce the health of tropical species, scientists from UCLA and the University of Washington report May 6 in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. view more (2008-05-06)
Shift toward services industries won't end global warming
The shift toward a service-based economy won't automatically reduce the amount of greenhouse gases (GHS) in the air, a University of Minnesota researcher has found. His research contradicts assumptions about global warming often preferred by some economists and national policy experts. view more (2006-11-02)
Crops feel the heat as the world warms
Over a span of two decades, warming temperatures have caused annual losses of roughly $5 billion for major food crops, according to a new study by researchers at the Carnegie Institution and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. view more (2007-03-16)
Winds of Change May Influence Insurance and Forestry in Industries
The impacts of extreme events, such as windstorms, on the insurance and forestry industries is to be investigated in a new Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research project, which also aims to shed light on the likely occurrence of future high winds due to global warming. Windstorms have important... view more (2001-02-01)
Fly population set to double with global warming
A leading biological scientist from the University of Southampton is warning of massive increases in the UK's fly population if temperatures continue to rise. view more (2004-09-27)
Aircraft and radar antenna help test instruments for space mission
The CLRC Chilbolton Observatory in Hampshire has been host to scientists from the UK, France, Germany and the Netherlands who have been testing radar and lidar instruments on board three separate aircraft, together with many ground-based instruments, to test the feasibility for a future European... view more (1998-10-20)
New evidence that global warming fuels stronger Atlantic hurricanes
Atmospheric scientists have uncovered fresh evidence to support the hotly debated theory that global warming has contributed to the emergence of stronger hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean. view more (2007-03-01)
Global warming is reducing ocean life, increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide, say scientists
Alarming new satellite data show that the warming of the world's oceans is reducing ocean life while contributing to increased global warming. view more (2006-12-07)
Laboratory scientists study soot in megacity pollution
A team of Los Alamos scientists recently returned from a month-long data-gathering trip to Mexico City as part of an international, multi-agency environmental science collaboration. view more (2006-05-09)
Carnegie Mellon researchers to curb CO2 emissions
Carnegie Mellon University's Chris T. Hendrickson and H. Scott Matthews along with Alex Carpenter and Heather MacLean of the University of Toronto challenge Canadian officials to take the lead in eliminating dangerous carbon dioxide emissions that fuel global warming. view more (2008-04-03)
Prehistoric global warming may have contributed to fossil preservation
Prehistoric global warming episodes from massive atmospheric pollution involving carbon dioxide and methane could have created and preserved "mass kills" of wildlife, according to a University of Oregon study presented at the Geological Society of America's annual meeting. view more (2005-10-13)
Foresight for physics technologies is healthy - The Physics Congress 2002
The key role of physics in delivering solutions to problems such as climate change and global warming was highlighted by Professor David King, Head of the Office of Science and Technology and Government Chief Scientific Adviser, in a talk to scientific innovators at the Institute of Physics Annual... view more (2002-04-08)
LSU professor helps India prepare for impact of global warming
Growing concern over the potential impact of global warming has spurred action from Louisiana to India. view more (2007-04-16)
Heatwave on the top of the world
The French Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPPC, or GIEC in French) has just announced the conclusions of its 4th report, which restates that global warming has increased the average temperature by 0.74°C over the last century. view more (2007-03-02)
Glimpse to past adds weight to global warming forecasts
A new examination of the period of global warming that planet Earth underwent 130,000 years ago is helping scientists to confirm the accuracy of projections for the next century - particularly over Canada's North. view more (2006-03-24)
Scripps-led Global Ocean Warming Research Paper Published in Science
Research led by scientists at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego, that describes the first clear evidence of human-produced warming in the world's oceans will be published June 2, 2005, in the peer-reviewed journal Science. view more (2005-06-03)
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)
The Arctic and Global Warming
A warmer Arctic Ocean may mean less food for the birds, fish, and baleen whales and be a significant detriment to that fragile and interconnected polar ecosystem, and that doesn't bode well for other ocean ecosystems in the future. view more (2006-02-21)
Global warming dramatically changed ancient forests
The migration of subtropical plants to northern climates may not be too far-fetched if future global warming patterns mirror a monumental shift that took place in the past. view more (2005-11-14)
Century of data shows intensification of water cycle but no increase in storms or floods
A review of the findings from more than 100 peer-reviewed studies shows that although many aspects of the global water cycle have intensified, including precipitation and evaporation, this trend has not consistently resulted in an increase in the frequency or intensity of tropical storms or floods... view more (2006-03-16)
Carbon sink capacity in northern forests reduced by global warming
An international study investigating the carbon sink capacity of northern terrestrial ecosystems discovered that the duration of the net carbon uptake period (CUP) has on average decreased due to warmer autumn temperatures. view more (2008-01-03)
Regional warming-induced species shift in NW Mediterranean marine caves
The north-western Mediterranean Sea has a high biodiversity reflecting a mixture of temperate and subtropical species. But this basin already shows signs of large-scale warming. Marine cave communities with endemic and specialised species are particularly at risk since they are naturally fragmented... view more (2003-04-08)
