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... view more (2004-07-30)

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)

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)

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... view more (2004-04-07)

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)

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)

MIT forges greener path to iron production
MIT engineers have demonstrated an eco-friendly way to make iron that eliminates the greenhouse gases usually associated with its production.   view more (2006-09-13)

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)

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... view more (2005-04-13)

Scientists link volcanic eruptions that formed North Atlantic Ocean to ancient global warming
Scientists examining a spike in worldwide ocean temperatures 55 million years ago have linked it to massive volcanic eruptions that pushed Greenland and northwest Europe apart to create the North Atlantic Ocean.   view more (2007-04-27)

Don't blame cities for climate change, see them as solutions
Cities are being unfairly blamed for most of humanity's greenhouse gas emissions and this threatens efforts to tackle climate change, warns a study in the October 2008 issue of the journal Environment and Urbanization.    view more (2008-09-29)

Forest fires may lead to cooling of northern climate
Countering hypotheses that forest fires in Alaska, Canada and Siberia warm the climate, scientists at UC Irvine have discovered that cooling may occur in areas where charred trees expose more snow, which reflects sunlight into space.   view more (2006-11-17)

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)

New ice cores expand view of climate history
Two new studies of gases trapped in Antarctic ice cores have extended the record of Earth's past climate almost 50 percent further, adding another 210,000 years of definitive data about the makeup of the Earth's atmosphere and providing more evidence of current atmospheric change.   view more (2005-11-28)

New report presents strongest evidence yet of human link to global warming, Duke expert says
Evidence presented in the first phase of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's 4th Assessment Report, released today in Paris, paints the clearest picture yet that human-derived greenhouse gases are playing a significant role in observed global warming.   view more (2007-02-02)

Marine Algae A Weapon Against Global Warming?
"Parforce" an EU-funded research project has discovered a new link between marine algae and climate change. Researchers working on the project found out that iodine vapours, released from algae or plankton, condense over oceans to form aerosols . These aerosols, which tend to counter "global... view more (2002-07-18)

Solar Contribution To 'Global Warming' Predicted To Decrease
New research on the sun's contribution to global warming is reported in this month's Astronomy & Geophysics. By looking at solar activity over the last 11,000 years, British Antarctic Survey (BAS) astrophysicist, Mark Clilverd, predicts that the sun's contribution to warming the Earth will... view more (2003-10-01)

Greenhouse theory smashed by biggest stone
A new theory to explain global warming was revealed at a meeting at the University of Leicester (UK) and is being considered for publication in the journal "Science First Hand".   view more (2006-03-14)

Something new under the Sun
That plants grow better if grown in a greenhouse in the correct climate is nothing new. Dutch researcher Rachel van Ooteghem has designed a control system for an improved solar greenhouse that yields more.   view more (2007-01-31)

Southern ocean carbon sink weakened
Scientists have observed the first evidence that the Southern Ocean's ability to absorb the major greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide, has weakened by about 15 per cent per decade since 1981.   view more (2007-05-21)

Reducing air pollution could increase rice harvests in India
New research from the University of California indicates that reductions of human-generated air pollution could create unexpected agricultural benefits in one of the world's poorest regions. These new findings will be published online the week of Dec. 4 in the journal Proceedings of the National... view more (2006-12-05)

Biodiesel could reduce greenhouse gas emissions
A CSIRO report released today confirms that using pure biodiesel or blending biodiesel with standard fuel could reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the transport sector.   view more (2007-11-28)

Expect a Warmer, Wetter World this Century, Computer Models Agree
Recent episodes of deadly heat in the United States and Europe, long dry spells across the U.S. West, and heavy bursts of rain and snow across much of North America and Eurasia hint at longer-term changes to come, according to a new study based on several of the world's most advanced climate models.   view more (2006-10-23)

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)

A WAKE-UP CALL FOR ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH (p 587)
Issue 23 August 2003 Embargoed 0001 h (London time) 22 August 2003. This week's editorial comments on the new energy bill that will increase US domestic energy supply, concluding that the bill's implications for increased energy consumption rather than conservation is 'a step backwards for... view more (2003-08-20)
