With special treatment, minerals called zeolites — commonly found in cat litter — can efficiently remove the greenhouse gas from the air, researchers report. Methane…
New CU Boulder study shows iodine from desert dust can decrease ozone air pollution but could prolong greenhouse gas lifetimes. When winds loft fine desert…
Plants Buy Us Time to Slow Climate Change – But Not Enough to Stop It New research from Berkeley Lab and UC Berkeley shows that…
Using carbon tax revenue to fund free green electricity and public transport could significantly reduce individual households’ greenhouse gas emissions, a new study has found. …
Longest continuously-monitored methane emissions record shows how market forces and oilfield practices can impact greenhouse gas emissions. As important as emissions of the greenhouse gas…
The University of Arizona team created maps of global temperatures for each 200-year interval since the last ice age. A University of Arizona-led effort to…
Most consumers want to make food purchases that are smart for their wallets, their health, and the environment. And while switching to a vegetarian or…
The UN Environment Program (UNEP), with support from the European Union, today launched a new Observatory to drive action on reducing methane emissions – a…
Air passengers will soon be able to cut their carbon footprint when traveling on flights that are routed using satellites. An agreement signed today between…
The economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic caused CO2 emissions from buildings and construction to fall significantly in 2020, but a lack of real transformation in…
Climate projections should not stop at year 2100. To fully grasp and plan for climate impacts under any scenario, researchers and policymakers must look well…
Although sun radiation was relatively low, the temperature on the young Earth was warm. An international team of geoscientists has found important clues that high…
On a farm where cows freely relieve themselves as they graze, the accumulation and spread of waste often contaminates local soil and waterways. This can…
Using precision instruments and new mapping and machine-learning tools, a research team has been pinpointing sources of the greenhouse gas. In October 2016, an aircraft…
Today, human sources are responsible for 60% of global methane emissions, coming primarily from the burning of fossil fuels, decomposition in landfills, and the agriculture…
Extensive chains of volcanoes have been responsible for both emitting and then removing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), stabilizing temperatures at Earth’s surface. An international research…
Between 35.6% and 95% of 20th century ocean surface climates — defined by surface water temperature, pH, and the concentration of the mineral aragonite —…
Highest resolution global warming simulation conducted to date reveals possible end of El Niño/ La Niña temperature cycle. The cycling between warm El Niño and…
