For awhile it was neck and neck, but China has now clearly pulled ahead of the United States and become the world's dominant source of carbon dioxide emissions.
A few days after Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper pitched his government's environmental plan to leaders in Europe, an underground campaign emerged back at home. It wasn't Greenpeace. There were no environmental activists staging a sit-in at the parliament buildings.
On a dairy farm in the Golden State's agricultural heartland, utility PG&E; Corp began on Tuesday producing natural gas derived from manure, in what it hopes will be a new way to power homes with renewable, if not entirely clean, energy.
For a long time it is rumored that CO2 has caused the climate change (so called earth warming) and that it's the fault of all of us. This fairytale is rammed into our minds by the media and even in Austrian English lessons. I say: STOP IT!
Nine ways in which the Earth could be tipped into a potentially dangerous state that could last for many centuries have been identified by scientists investigating how quickly global warming could run out of control.
It may be that all the cards have been dealt and all hands are losers..
The French polar expedition led by Jean Louis Etienne that was to begin in April of this year is compromised after his helium balloon with which he had planned to complete the mission crashed into a house in a small town in the south of France.
Climate modelers already had their hands full explaining what warmth-loving crocodiles were doing in the high Arctic 90 million years ago in the Cretaceous period.
A Duke University-led analysis of available records shows that while the North Atlantic Ocean's surface waters warmed in the 50 years between 1950 and 2000, the change was not uniform.
Crocodiles in the Arctic? There are new findings regarding a phase of rapid global greenhouse warming that took place 55 million years ago. This period of climate change is regarded as the best fossil analogue to current and future greenhouse warming.
A new idea could explain how the climate of early Mars became warm enough to support oceans. Scientists believe sulphur dioxide released from ancient volcanoes created a balance similar to Earth's carbon cycle, which controlled the climate.
This article tries to answer a question about the greenhouse effect: "Greenhouse gases prevent the infrared rays from leaving the Earth's atmosphere, but why do they not prevent additional solar radiation from entering the atmosphere?"
Globally averaged concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere reached their highest levels ever recorded in 2006, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) said on Friday.
The following statement was issued today by Stephanie Meeks, acting president and CEO of The Nature Conservancy: "We commend Senators Lieberman and Warner for their vital leadership on this critical issue, the most important environmental issue of our time.
Dr. Richard Lindzen words (professor in atmospheric science at MIT) leave a chilling effect on the greenhouse controversy: "The impact on temperature per unit carbon dioxide goes down, not up, with increasing CO2.
Tthe study, titled "Sustainable Bioenergy: A Framework for Decision Makers," also warns that an unregulated biofuels boom will spawn deforestation, deplete soil nutrients, and undermine food security by monopolizing farmland.
GONE are the days when hemp-shoed Greens hurled invective at besuited businessmen, while corporate leaders derided environmental types for seeking an unattainable utopia. Increasingly the rival sides agree with each other.
The oceans burped … twice. About 13,000 and 18,000 years ago, carbon dioxide poured into the atmosphere in two giant belches that drove concentrations of the greenhouse gas from 180 to 265 parts per million, where it held relatively steady until the Industrial Revolution.
Norway plans to be the first country in the world to become "carbon neutral" and cut its net greenhouse gas emissions to zero by 2050.
Switching from gasoline to ethanol - touted as a green alternative at the pump - may create dirtier air, causing slightly more smog-related deaths, a new study says. Nearly 200 more people would die yearly from respiratory problems if all vehicles in the United States ran on a m …
A view into the Kadershev Scale and it's relation to Global Warming Awareness.
This could very well be the greatest hoax perpetuated on citizens by their government in all of history.
Are the automakers bluffing when they say they can't hit California's new emissions targets? If so, the Union of Concerned Scientists is calling their bluff.
New research aimed at understanding the link between carbon dioxide emissions and climate change in boreal systems has found clear links between both Spring and Fall temperature changes and carbon uptake/loss.
