A new study is the latest to suggest that reductions in atmospheric sulphur may be driving global warming at a rate faster ...

Using traditional crossbreeding, researchers have created a new strain of rice that produces much less methane, a potent ...

Quench those emissions and we’ll dent global methane pollution substantially. MethaneSAT and Carbon Mapper circle the Earth north-south in a polar orbit. As the planet turns below them—like a ...

Although the impact of underwater methane emissions on carbon in the atmosphere is thought to be relatively minor, we still need to know how the emissions will fully affect the planet as it warms.

The methane enters the atmosphere where it warms the planet 82 times faster over a period of twenty years than the more prevalent greenhouse gas carbon dioxide. So can we create cows that belch ...

The four-legged robot is part of a pilot project that Orange County Waste & Recycling has been testing to help it find the ...

From January to March, the night sky will host a spectacular parade of planets featuring Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus ...

Reducing sulphur in the air may inadvertently increase natural emissions of methane from wetlands such as peatlands and swamps, a new study has found. The resulting additional future release of 20-34 ...

Under his watch, the United States became the world's largest exporter of 'natural gas', every fossil fuel major's favorite euphemism for a product composed primarily of planet-warming methane.

A key difference lies in each setter’s assessment of methane’s potential to heat the planet. Once it’s in the atmosphere, methane degrades into less potent greenhouse gases in about a decade.
