MPs from the Coalition are at odds over climate change policy, with some wanting to abandon the party's net zero by 2050 commitment, while others believe it is crucial for the party's economic and environmental future. Simon Kennedy, the member for the Sydney seat of Cook,
Climate change
Biogas, derived from the microbial decomposition of organic matter, has been gaining recognition as a pivotal component in the global transition towards sustainable energy systems. Contributing directly to climate change mitigation and universal access to clean energy, biogas production reduces greenhouse gas emissions, diverts organic waste from landfills, and strengthens
Climate change
Chinese researchers have pioneered an innovative approach to monitoring methane emissions from landfills using high-resolution satellite remote sensing, paving the way for more effective global emission reduction strategies. This breakthrough study, published in Nature Climate Change, developed a method to accurately quantify landfill methane emissions globally, providing a scientific basis
Climate change
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin has made a drastic decision by eliminating the agency's endangerment finding that greenhouse gases threaten public health, despite decades of scientific evidence and court rulings. This move will have far-reaching consequences, exacerbating health threats from climate change, including
Air pollution
Researchers from Nanjing University have revealed new data on agriculture, highlighting the significant impact of coastal wetland reclamation on greenhouse gas flux processes within coastal ecosystems. Funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, the study characterized the dynamic exchanges within the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum in four representative coastal wetland
