Carnegie Mellon studies how climate change impacts food production
The old adage, "We are what we eat,'' may be the latest recipe for success when it comes to curbing the perils of global climate warming. view more (2008-04-22)
Toward the design of greener consumer products
So you're a manufacturer about to introduce a new consumer product to the marketplace. Will that product or the manufacture of the product contribute to global warming through the greenhouse effect? view more (2009-09-17)
Link between tropical warming and greenhouse gases stronger than ever, say scientists
New evidence from climate records of the past provides some of the strongest indications yet of a direct link between tropical warmth and higher greenhouse gas levels, say scientists at the University of California, Santa Barbara. view more (2005-10-14)
Miscounting bioenergy benefits may increase greenhouse gas release
A fixable error in the way carbon is counted in current U.S. climate legislation and in the Kyoto Protocol could undermine efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by using biofuels, says a premier group of national environmental and land use scientists. view more (2009-10-23)
Verification of national methane estimates now possible
New methods for verifying estimated greenhouse gas emissions, developed by scientists at Royal Holloway, University of London, will play a significant role in assessing reductions in methane emissions, important in national compliance with Kyoto protocol targets. David Lowry, Craig Holmes, Nigel Rata and Euan Nisbet of Royal Holloway’s... view more... (2001-04-25)
Global warming could lead to a greener Greenland (embargoed until 18.00 BST)
Research published in Nature suggests that enough greenhouse gases could be in the atmosphere as early as 2050 to melt the massive ice-sheet that covers Greenland. As a result, sea levels could rise by around seven metres over the next 1,000 years. Along with colleagues in Belgium and Germany, Dr Jonathan Gregory, of the Centre for Global... view more...

Greenhouse Gases - Nothing To Blame For?
In the nearest future we may witness global cooling in spite of increasing concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. That can happen, if the following hypothesis is correct: not the growth of greenhouse gases concentration provokes temperature to rise, but vice versa. It is generally believed nowadays that greenhouse gases are... view more... (2004-07-30)
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)
Plan to conserve forests may be detrimental to other ecosystems
Conserving biodiversity must be considered when developing plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from deforestation, researchers warn in today's edition of Science. view more (2008-06-13)
World needs climate emergency backup plan, says expert
In submitted testimony to the British Parliament, climate scientist Ken Caldeira of the Carnegie Institution said that while steep cuts in carbon emissions are essential to stabilizing global climate, there also needs to be a backup plan. view more (2008-11-10)
Nitrous Oxide Emissions Respond Differently to No-Till Depending on the Soil Type
The practice of no-till has increased considerably during the past 20 yr. The absence of tillage coupled with the accumulation of crop residues at the soil surface modifies several soil properties but also influence nitrogen dynamics. view more (2008-10-23)
Reducing greenhouse gases may not be enough to slow climate change
Because land use changes are responsible for 50 percent of warming in the US, policymakers need to address the influence of global deforestation and urbanization on climate change, in addition to greenhouse gas emissions. view more (2009-11-11)
Energy Lab Sets Aggressive Greenhouse Gas Reduction Goal
The U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has pledged to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 75 percent from 2005 to 2009. view more (2007-12-06)
New greenhouse gas identified
A gas used for fumigation has the potential to contribute significantly to future greenhouse warming, but because its production has not yet reached high levels there is still time to nip this potential contributor in the bud, according to an international team of researchers. view more (2009-03-12)
Potent greenhouse gas more prevalent in atmosphere than previously assumed
A powerful greenhouse gas is at least four times more prevalent in the atmosphere than previously estimated, according to a team of researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego. view more (2008-10-24)
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)
Methane gas levels begin to increase again
The amount of methane in Earth's atmosphere shot up in 2007, bringing to an end a period of about a decade in which atmospheric levels of the potent greenhouse gas were essentially stable, according to a team led by MIT researchers. view more (2008-10-30)
Compost can turn agricultural soils into a carbon sink, thus protecting against climate change
Applying organic fertilizers, such as those resulting from composting, to agricultural land could increase the amount of carbon stored in these soils and contribute significantly to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. view more (2008-02-25)
Greenhouse gas bubbling from melting permafrost feeds climate warming
A study co-authored by a Florida State University scientist and published in the Sept. 7 issue of the journal Nature has found that as the permafrost melts in North Siberia due to climate change, carbon sequestered and buried there since the Pleistocene era is bubbling up to the surface of Siberian thaw lakes and into the atmosphere as methane, a... view more...

Study: Soybean oil reduces carbon footprint in swine barns
One of agriculture's most versatile crops could one day play a role in combating climate change, Purdue University research shows. view more (2009-02-27)
