the most disturbing spectre on the horizon of environmentalists in the West is the one that they feel most guilty about. They survey the output of greenhouse gases of their own economies and note the evident reluctance of everybody to do anything about it even as summers grow warmer, storms …
As nearly as climatologists can tell by studying measurements dating back to the 1850s, the earth's average surface temperature has risen by about one degree Fahrenheit over the last century. But measurements made by orbiting satellites have suggested that the lower atmosphere is cooling, leading some skeptics to argue that …
Decreased sea ice extent and thickness, the earlier onset of spring and influx of insects and other animals from the south are some of the changes which Alaska natives have identified in personal testimonies on the impacts of climate change, compiled in a Greenpeace report.
The 20th century is the hottest for at least a millennium, say scientists, amid concern that the new finding is evidence of global warming caused by man-made pollution . Phil Jones, of the University of East Anglia, says a study of tree rings, ice cores, corals and historical records from …
Reports of how the first half of 1998 have been the warmest six months ever recorded on Earth in more than a hundred years, should turn the heat on for its residents to find solutions that will save the planet from the desertification towards which it is otherwise headed. The …
July was hottest month on record around the world and reflects a dangerous trend certain to get worse unless steps are taken to stop global warming. US Vice-President Al Gore has said.
Scientists have long theorized that climatic changes related to global warming could unleash outbreaks of diseases like malaria, dengue, fever, cholera and heat stroke. But with the modest amount of warming experienced so far, they have been unable to produce much hard evidence. Now the experts have a research gift …
Four months ago, after residents and politicians in Indiana and Illinois screamed bloody murder, a train carrying 22,000 gallons of napalm to an Indiana disposal plant was abruptly halted and turned back to California, where the napalm had been modering since the end of the Vietnam War. In July, another …
Last month was the hottest on Earth since records began more than 100 years ago, and chances are this will be the hottest year in the past six centuries. The Vice-President of the United States, Mr Al Gore, yesterday announced that July temperatures worldwide averaged 16.5 Celsius, about 0.7 degrees …
The proposed Krishna Khore irrigation project in Maharashtra, aimed at bringing relief to farmers in the drought-prone parts of Solarpur district, will cause extensive damaged to the ecology of the area, environmentalists said. The survey was conducted by wildlife scientists from the Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS) and the Centre …

Thousands of readings from satellites and weather stations across the globe have confirmed that the world has been warmer this year than at any time since 1880, when Britain's meteorological …
The forecast of global warming provided to Congress a decade ago by NASA scientist James Hanson "was an astounding failure" and the statement two years later by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) about the "realistic nature of these objections was simply wrong," climatologist Patrick J. Michaels …
In addition to wreaking death and destruction, hurricanes might just contribute to global warming. Scientists at the Bermuda Station for Biological Research in Denver found that hurricanes hurl large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere as their winds furiously churn the ocean over hundreds of square miles. Carbon dioxide …
A high level seminar of the Planning Commission has accused the developed countries of being the biggest contributors to the accumulation, of Green House Gases in the atmosphere which is causing global warming. This, it said, was largely due to their unsustainable life styles and high levels of consumption. The …
Paying other countries to cut their pollution could be the cheapest way for the United States to help control the heat-trapping gases that cause global warming, the Clinton Administration said in a new economic analysis released. A system of buying and selling pollution permits internationally, as proposed by the Administration, …
chlorofluorocarbons (cfcs) are not the only threat to the ozone layer. Nitrous oxide (n2o), also known as laughing gas, has been quietly eating into the layer that screens out harmful ultraviolet radiations. The gas has a tremendous global warming potential, with a heat absorption capacity 250-290 times that of carbon …
Scientists in the US have identified a toxin produced by a strain of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) which could delay development of resistance to Bt pesticides by insects. Bt produces a class of toxins called CryIV. However, insects had started developing resistance to these toxins. Researchers at the University of California …
