Thawing permafrost likely to boost global warming
The thawing of permafrost in northern latitudes, which greatly increases microbial decomposition of carbon compounds in soil, will dominate other effects of warming in the region and could become a major force promoting the release of carbon dioxide and thus further warming, according to a new... view more (2008-09-02)

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)

EU research drive to reduce air pollution from traffic
Today the EU signed an agreement with the USA, Japan and China to address air pollution from transport. Signed during a conference in Milan, the accord will allow for joint research on emissions and vehicle testing, and it foresees the creation of a common scientific platform to measure and... view more (2003-12-10)

Have you run out of energy?
Imagine having your own annual greenhouse gas allowance which you 'spend' each time you fill up with petrol or pay an electric or gas bill. It sounds like a scene from a futuristic movie, but this scenario could really happen in the next few years according to researchers at the UK's Tyndall Centre... view more (2004-09-20)

Emission choices lead to starkly different futures for Northeast agriculture, says CU expert at briefing
Farmers will be the first to feel the heat from global warming as they grapple with new and aggressive crop pests, summer heat stress and other sobering challenges that could strain family farms to the limit, warns David Wolfe, a Cornell expert on the effects of climate change on agriculture.   view more (2007-07-12)

Potent greenhouse gas more prevalent in atmosphere than previously assumed

Too little attention is paid to the side effects of emission-limiting measures
With measures aimed at reducing the emission of pollutants such as ammonia, policy makers pay too little attention to the consequences for the emission of other substances. This is revealed in a computer model constructed by Corjan Brink from Wageningen University during his doctoral research. For... view more (2003-01-24)

New study shows fish respond quickly to changes in mercury deposition
Reducing atmospheric mercury emissions should quickly reduce mercury levels in lake fish, according to a three-year study published this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science.   view more (2007-09-20)

Emission Reduction Assumptions for Carbon Dioxide Overly Optimistic, Study Says
Reducing global emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) over the coming century will be more challenging than society has been led to believe, according to a research commentary appearing this week in the journal Nature.   view more (2008-04-03)

First plant producing biodiesel
Bionor Transformaci'łn, S.A. has inaugurated the first plant in the Basque Country for the production of a biodiesel fuel , based on used vegetable oil and other renewable materials. The plant will produce 20,000 tons of biodiesel fuel a year. BIONOR Transformaci'łn, S.A. is a company made up of... view more (2003-05-23)

More research needed to make good on biofuel promise, experts say
While cellulosic biofuels derived from grasses, crop residues and inedible plant parts have real potential to be more efficient and environmentally friendly than grain-based biofuels like corn ethanol, more research and science-based policies are needed to reap these benefits, says an international... view more (2008-10-06)

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 (2002-02-13)

Invisible gases form most organic haze in urban, rural areas
A new study involving the University of Colorado at Boulder shows that invisible, reactive gases hovering over Earth's surface, not direct emissions of particulates, form the bulk of organic haze in both urban and rural areas around the world.   view more (2007-07-10)

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)
