Global warming
Scientists have discovered that climate change driven ocean warming can significantly increase the risk of methane release into the atmosphere from sediments in the coastal Baltic Sea. According to research conducted by Songjun Li and colleagues at Linnaeus University, long-term warming of marine sediments can lead to a 50-fold increase
Global warming
Researchers have made significant findings in understanding the relationship between greenhouse gas concentrations and climate change in a warmer-than-modern world. By analyzing paleoceanography data, scientists have reconstructed atmospheric CO2 concentration in the Late Miocene, a period crucial for understanding Earth's climate history. The study highlights the importance of
Global warming
Investigations by Guru Ghasidas Vishwavidyalaya researchers have shed new light on the impact of human activities on global warming. According to their study, over the past 250 years, anthropogenic activities have increased atmospheric carbon dioxide levels by nearly 40%. This surge is primarily attributed to fossil fuel combustion and deforestation,
Global warming
A groundbreaking study has been published by the Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences, detailing a novel framework for downscaling CO2 emissions and sinks in China. The research, funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, employs a hybrid training method that integrates multi-resolution inverse fluxes with national-scale coarse grids
Global warming
New research published in the International Journal of Greenhouse Gas Control proposes that direct air capture facilities be powered by dedicated large-scale nuclear power plants, potentially offering a cost-effective solution for removing CO2 from the atmosphere. Direct air capture (DAC) technology has gained attention as a promising approach for mitigating
Global warming
Research on global warming and climate change reveals significant unexplained heat anomalies in the atmosphere and ocean over the past few years. Although greenhouse gas emissions from human activities are known to contribute to global warming, the recent patterns of temperature change remain unclear. The study, funded by reputable organizations
Global warming
A recent study by researchers from Colorado State University has found that stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) can help limit future warming and mitigate some of the adverse impacts of climate change. The study compared the projected effects of a climate change scenario to three different SAI scenarios in four Global

Russia is seeking a comprehensive and binding agreement on climate change that involves all countries, rather than a treaty that only obliges developed nations to cut emissions of greenhouse gases. The statement comes as the 15th UN Climate Change Conference, a result of two-year international talks on a binding treaty

The Copenhagen climate change conference was overshadowed by concerns over "carbon tariffs" proposed by developed countries, sparking fears of trade protectionism under the guise of environmental care. Developing nations argue that these tariffs are unfair, as they face additional costs for emissions reductions they cannot afford. The principle

The city's plan, announced by Mayor Bloomberg and City Council Speaker Quinn on Earth Day, aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from buildings, the largest source of CO2 emissions in American cities. The Greener, Greater Buildings Plan, would create New York City's first Energy Code, improve
Air pollution
The Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) decision to label greenhouse gas emissions as an environmental threat has sparked concerns within the American Forest and Paper Association (AFandPA), which believes that the Clean Air Act is an inflexible tool to regulate climate change. The association emphasizes that adopting climate change
