Level of important greenhouse gas has stopped growing
Scientists at UC Irvine have determined that levels of atmospheric methane - an influential greenhouse gas - have stayed nearly flat for the past seven years, which follows a rise that spanned at least two decades. view more (2006-11-21)
A Roundtable for the Media at PrepCom4: Surviving the Third Millennium:
SE Asia is becoming increasingly vulnerable to global change (e.g. global warming, land-use change, urbanisation and dwindling resources). Will advances in modern technology and governance come to the rescue? This is one of the themes to be discussed by seven experts from a partnership of major global environmental change programmes at a... view more... (2002-05-24)
The greenhouse gas that saved the world
When Planet Earth was just cooling down from its fiery creation, the sun was faint and young. So faint that it should not have been able to keep the oceans of earth from freezing. But fortunately for the creation of life, water was kept liquid on our young planet. view more (2009-08-18)
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)
Greenhouse Gas Auction Revenues Can Help Cut Md. Electric Use Significantly, Says Study
Maryland officials can reduce electricity use in the state significantly by investing revenues from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) cap-and-trade auctions in energy efficiency programs, says a new study from a University of Maryland-led research team. It adds that neighboring states might benefit as well. view more (2008-10-23)
Water vapor confirmed as major player in climate change
Water vapor is known to be Earth's most abundant greenhouse gas, but the extent of its contribution to global warming has been debated. view more (2008-11-18)
Study critiques corn-for-ethanol's carbon footprint
To avoid creating greenhouse gases, it makes more sense using today's technology to leave land unfarmed in conservation reserves than to plow it up for corn to make biofuel, according to a comprehensive Duke University-led study. view more (2009-03-03)
Study breaks ice on ancient Arctic thaw
A new analysis of ocean-floor sediments collected near the North Pole finds that the Arctic was extremely warm, unusually wet and ice-free the last time massive amounts of greenhouse gases were released into the Earth's atmosphere - a prehistoric period 55 million years ago. view more (2006-08-10)
Fuel Emissions From Marine Vessels Remain a Global Concern
Marine vessels are no longer resting in a safe harbor. The forecast for clear skies and smooth sailing for oceanic vessels has been impeded by worldwide concerns of their significant contributions to air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions that impact the Earth's climate. view more (2008-09-10)
Researchers find way to cut cattle methane, threat to environment, by 25 percent
Beef farmers can breathe easier thanks to University of Alberta researchers who have developed a formula to reduce methane gas in cattle. view more (2009-05-08)
Simple measures can yield big greenhouse gas cuts, scientists say
New technologies and policies that save energy, remove atmospheric carbon and limit greenhouse gas emissions are needed to fight global climate change - but face daunting technological, economic and political hurdles, a Michigan State University scientist said. view more (2009-10-27)
Geoengineering climate requires more research, cautious consideration and appropriate restrictions
Geoengineering - deliberately manipulating physical, chemical, or biological aspects of the Earth system to confront climate change - could contribute to a comprehensive risk management strategy to slow climate change but could also create considerable new risks. view more (2009-07-22)
PhD student filters water vapour information from satellite data
PhD student Rüdiger Lang has developed a method to obtain information about water vapour from satellite data not specifically measuring this. The research is part of a project from the FOM Institute for Atomic and Molecular Physics (AMOLF), the Space Research Organisation Netherlands (SRON) and the Free University of Amsterdam. Water vapour... view more... (2002-10-24)
At Least Part of Climate Change is Man-Made
Humanity does seem to have been a major contributor to global warming after all. This has been demonstrated by new simulations carried out at the University of Bonn. The Bonn meteorologists used about 30 different models to investigate how the Earth's average annual temperature would have developed with and without the influence of climate gases.... view more...

Carnegie Mellon researcher says China's export trade impacts climate
Carnegie Mellon University's Christopher L. Weber argues that China's new title as the world's largest greenhouse gas emitter is at least partly due to consumption of Chinese goods in the West. view more (2008-07-30)
New laboratory to study the oceans and air
Almost two-thirds of the planet is ocean and this has a major impact on our lives. Now the University of East Anglia (UEA) will be home to the world's first facility dedicated to the study of chemical ocean-air interactions which are important in regulating Earth's climate. Examples include ocean uptake of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide... view more... (2003-11-21)
Stratospheric injections could help cool Earth, computer model shows
A two-pronged approach to stabilizing climate, with cuts in greenhouse gas emissions as well as injections of climate-cooling sulfates, could prove more effective than either approach used separately. view more (2006-09-15)
Methane from microbes: a fuel for the future
Microbes could provide a clean, renewable energy source and use up carbon dioxide in the process, suggested Dr James Chong at a Science Media Centre press briefing today. view more (2007-12-11)
NORTH ATLANTIC SLOWS DOWN THE GREENHOUSE-EFFECT
What sounds to us like bookkeeping of global change and tedious science, has a big meaning for our climate future. After all, traffic and industrial plants in Europe and North America play a particularly large role in the carbon dioxide pollution of the atmosphere and the greenhouse-effect resulting from it. The processes in the North Atlantic... view more... (1999-06-08)
Water vapor feedback is rapidly warming Europe
A new report indicates that the vast majority of the rapid temperature increase recently observed in Europe is likely due to an unexpected greenhouse gas: water vapor. view more (2005-11-09)
