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)
New Centre For Satellite Observation Established In North Wales
North Wales is to play a major role in using information from earth-orbiting satellites to improve predictions of future environmental change. The School of Ocean Sciences at University of Wales, Bangor will be part of a national Centre of Excellence in Earth Observation which is to be established with funding of £2 million from the Natural... view more...

Singapore researchers first to transform carbon dioxide into methanol
Scientists at Singapore's Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (IBN) have succeeded in unlocking the potential of carbon dioxide -- a common greenhouse gas -- by converting it into a more useful product. view more (2009-04-16)
Unlocking the frozen secrets of comet Wild 2
Eleven months ago, NASA's Stardust mission touched down in the Utah desert with the first solid comet samples ever retrieved from space. Since then, nearly 200 scientists from around the globe have studied the minuscule grains, looking for clues to the physical and chemical history of our solar system. view more (2006-12-20)
Spring agricultural fires have large impact on melting Arctic
Scientists from around the world will convene at the University of New Hampshire June 2-5, 2009, to discuss key findings from the most ambitious effort ever undertaken to measure "short-lived" airborne pollutants in the Arctic and determine how they contribute in the near term to the dramatic changes underway in the vast,... 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)
World to be even hotter by century's end
If Earth's past cycles of warming and cooling are any indication, temperatures by the end of the century will be even hotter than current climate models predict, according to a report by University of California, Berkeley, researchers. view more (2006-05-25)
Climate Change Affecting Earth's Outermost Atmosphere
Carbon dioxide emissions from the burning of fossil fuels will produce a 3 percent reduction in the density of Earth's outermost atmosphere by 2017 view more (2006-12-12)
Greenhouse gases likely drove near-record US warmth in 2006
Greenhouse gases likely accounted for over half of the widespread warmth across the continental United States in 2006, according to a new study that will be published 5 September in Geophysical Research Letters, a publication of the American Geophysical Union. view more (2007-08-29)
Managing Carbon Loss
As the United States continues to develop alternative energy methods and push towards energy independence, cellulosic-based ethanol has emerged as one of the most commercially viable technologies. view more (2008-12-04)
New membrane strips carbon dioxide from natural gas faster and better
A modified plastic material greatly improves the ability to separate global warming-linked carbon dioxide from natural gas as the gas is prepared for use, according to engineers at The University of Texas at Austin who have analyzed the new plastic's performance. view more (2007-10-12)
Some of Earth's climate troubles should face burial at sea, scientists say
Making bales with 30 percent of global crop residues - the stalks and such left after harvesting - and then sinking the bales into the deep ocean could reduce the build up of global carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by up to 15 percent a year, according to just published calculations. view more (2009-01-29)
Ocean acidification may contribute to global shellfish decline
Relatively minor increases in ocean acidity brought about by high levels of carbon dioxide have significant detrimental effects on the growth, development, and survival of hard clams, bay scallops, and Eastern oysters, according to researchers at Stony Brook University's School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences. view more (2009-10-27)
Improved predictions of warming-induced extinctions sought
In the March 2007 issue of BioScience, an international team of 19 researchers calls for better forecasting of the effects of global warming on extinction rates. view more (2007-03-01)
World premier for newly composed music for ice instruments
World premier for newly composed music for ice instruments: The ensemble "Voices of Ice" play at the Ice Globe Theater in the northern part of Sweden. Tuesday, March 18 is the world premier at the Ice Globe Theater in Jukkasj'Īrvi for two newly composed musical pieces by the Swedish composers Karin Rehnqvist and Bill Brunson.

Health professionals must help tackle climate change
Climate change is a major public health threat which health professionals must help to tackle, argues an expert in this week's BMJ. view more (2006-06-09)
Your own private global warming
A group of researchers from the British Antarctic Survey have collected individuals from a wide range of species commonly found in Antarctic waters and subjected them to increasing levels of water temperature to learn how each species is prepared to cope with the conditions that they are likely to experience in the future. view more (2009-06-30)
Focus on methane to save the planet
SMALL print in the Kyoto Protocol threatens to make global warming more severe than it need be over the next 10 years or so. An obscure rule is discouraging countries from applying cheap technologies that could dramatically curb global warming in the short term, warns a British climate scientist.... view more...

Future climate change in North-Western Europe may come as a shock
North-Western Europe could be in for some sudden climatic surprises in the future, say scientists speaking at the launch of a new book on global environmental change*. North-Western Europe is kept warm by an ocean current known as the North Atlantic Current, an extension of the Gulf Stream which brings warm water from the tropics to the north.... view more...

When it comes to forest soil, wildfires pack 1-2 punch
For decades, scientists and resource managers have known that wildfires affect forest soils, evidenced, in part, by the erosion that often occurs after a fire kills vegetation and disrupts soil structure. view more (2008-10-17)
