Ancient Arctic water cycles are red flags to future global warming
Ancient plant life recovered in recent Arctic Ocean sampling cores shows that at the time of the last major global warming, humidity, precipitation levels and salinity of the ocean water altered drastically, along with the elevated temperatures and levels of greenhouse gases.   view more (2006-08-14)

KTH research: Increased combustion reduces carbon dioxide emissions
New, previously overlooked technology could dramatically reduce emissions of carbon dioxide. Bio-energy facilities that capture carbon dioxide from combustion gases would even make it possible to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The idea of capturing carbon dioxide and storing... view more (2001-11-23)

Reduced greenhouse gas emissions required to avoid dangerous increases in heat stress, researchers say
A study led by a Purdue University researcher projects a 200 percent to 500 percent increase in the number of dangerously hot days in the Mediterranean by the end of the 21st century if the current rate of greenhouse gas emissions continues. The study found France would be subjected to the largest... view more (2007-06-18)

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)

New observations and climate model data confirm recent warming of the tropical atmosphere
For the first time, new climate observations and computer models provide a consistent picture of recent warming of the tropical atmosphere.   view more (2005-08-12)

Human activities are boosting ocean temperatures in areas where hurricanes form, new study finds
Rising ocean temperatures in key hurricane breeding grounds of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans are due primarily to human-caused increases in greenhouse gas concentrations.   view more (2006-09-12)

Disease damages wheat roots, thwarts water uptake
Alterations in irrigation schedules may be needed when wheat streak mosaic infection is suspected in winter wheat crops, according to a Texas Agricultural Experiment Station researcher in Amarillo.   view more (2006-03-02)

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... view more (2004-05-28)

Researchers at the University Jaume I put environmentally-friendly refrigerants to the test
Keeping food cool in the fridge or switching on the air conditioning at the office can be costly for the environment. The gases that have been used up till now for refrigeration (mainly the so-called HCFCs, such as R22) contain high proportions of chlorine, one of the elements responsible for the... view more (2004-06-28)

Southern Ocean could slow global warming
The Southern Ocean may slow the rate of global warming by absorbing significantly more heat and carbon dioxide than previously thought, according to new research.   view more (2006-12-06)

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)

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)

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)

NASA Study Links "Smog" to Arctic Warming
NASA scientists have found that a major form of global air pollution involved in summertime "smog" has also played a significant role in warming the Arctic.   view more (2006-03-15)

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)

Sun's direct role in global warming may be underestimated, Duke physicists report
At least 10 to 30 percent of global warming measured during the past two decades may be due to increased solar output rather than factors such as increased heat-absorbing carbon dioxide gas released by various human activities.   view more (2005-10-03)

Methane gyrations last 2,000 years show human influnece on atmosphere
Humans have been tinkering with greenhouse gas levels in Earth's atmosphere for at least 2,000 years and probably longer, according to a surprising new study of methane trapped in Antarctic ice cores conducted by an international research team.   view more (2005-09-09)

Subtropical Arctic
The North Pole, synonymous with all things very cold, once had a subtropical climate according to scientists now returning from the Arctic .   view more (2004-09-06)

Can ancient rocks yield clues about catastrophes like Hurricane Katrina?
Hurricane Katrina and other natural catastrophes in recent years have shown how vulnerable mankind is in the face of nature.   view more (2005-09-08)

A warming climate can support glacial ice
New research challenges the generally accepted belief that substantial ice sheets could not have existed on Earth during past super-warm climate events.   view more (2008-01-11)

Adapting agricultural practices to reduce the greenhouse effect
More than one-third of the greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere stem from agriculture and forestry. One of the current concerns is to find ways of managing agriculture differently in order to increase the level of carbon storage in soils and limit emission of gases that contribute to global... view more (2004-11-23)

Ancient rocks show how young Earth avoided becoming giant snowball
A greenhouse gas that has become the bane of modern society may have saved Earth from completely freezing over early in the planet's history, according to the first detailed laboratory analysis of the world's oldest sedimentary rocks.   view more (2007-02-06)

US fires release large amounts of carbon dioxide
Large-scale fires in a western or southeastern state can pump as much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere in a few weeks as the state's entire motor vehicle traffic does in a year.   view more (2007-11-01)

Climate History Rewritten: Arctic Ice an Early Arrival
For the first time, scientists have pulled up prehistoric geologic records from the frigid vault of the Arctic Ocean. One of the findings, evidence of glacial Arctic ice from 45 million years ago, recasts a critical chapter of global climate history.   view more (2006-06-01)

Arctic ice meltdown continues with significantly reduced winter ice cover
As far as temperatures drop in the Arctic winter - on average to -34°C (-29°F) - a new study shows that in the last two years sea ice is shrinking on the surface of Arctic waters to record low levels.   view more (2006-09-14)
