Almost 75% of 184 Paris Agreement pledges were judged insufficient to slow climate change; Only 28 European Union nations and 7 others will reduce emissions…
Two million-year-old ice from Antarctica recently uncovered by a team of researchers provides a clearer picture into the connections between greenhouse gases and climate in…
For the first time, an EPFL-led team of scientists has measured the total amount of CO2 emissions from mountain streams worldwide. This research builds on…
The process could work on the gas at any concentration, from power plant emissions to open air. A new way of removing carbon dioxide from…
Enzymes use cascade reactions to produce complex molecules from comparatively simple raw materials. Researchers have now copied this principle. An international research team has used…
Rutgers-led study casts doubt on Himalayan rock weathering hypothesis. A key theory that attributes the climate evolution of the earth to the breakdown of Himalayan…
People are less motivated to take action if its outcome is uncertain, and this could be true for climate-related issues. The uncertainty in climate response…
SUNCAT researchers discover a way to improve a key step in these conversions, and explore what it would take to turn the climate-changing gas into…
In independent studies, two Princeton University research teams recently identified surprisingly large sources of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas, being leaked into the atmosphere. Pound…
Nitrous oxide is a greenhouse gas and ozone-depleting substance. The ability to exploit this gas as a chemical reagent is an attractive prospect, both as…
MIT researchers find a way to eliminate carbon emissions from cement production — a major global source of greenhouse gases. It’s well known that the…
A new way to convert carbon dioxide into the building block for sustainable liquid fuels was very efficient in tests and did not have the…
For decades pollution in China has paralleled economic growth. But this connection has been weakened in recent years, according to a new international research study…
A team of scientists has concluded that earth experienced a previously underestimated severe mass-extinction event, which occurred about 260 million years ago, raising the total…
Rice University’s ‘green’ invention reduces carbon dioxide into valuable fuels. A common greenhouse gas could be repurposed in an efficient and environmentally friendly way with…
In the brain, when neurons fire off electrical signals to their neighbors, this happens through an “all-or-none” response. The signal only happens once conditions in…
Washington State University researchers have created a sustainable alternative to traditional concrete using coal fly ash, a waste product of coal-based electricity generation. The advance…
