india, Brazil, China, Russia, the us and nine other countries have signed the us -led Methane to Markets Partnership, an initiative that aims to capture the emission of the greenhouse gas (ghg) methane and use it as a fuel. Signed by ministers from each country in Washington dc, usa, on …
vapid cure is better than prevention. That's the us' policy on global warming. The us has now devised a new strategy to deal with the second most prevalent greenhouse gas in the atmosphere
increased ozone concentration at ground level is damaging crops worth millions of dollars in the uk. Lisa Emberson of the Switzerland-based Stockholm Environment Institute recently developed a method to calculate the amount of ozone that crops absorb, taking into account species-specific data and environmental conditions (such as the growing season, …
Antarctica has mostly cooled over the last 30 years. But this trend is likely to rapidly reverse, according to computer simulations of the us National Aeronautical and Space Administration (NASA). The study indicates that the South Polar region is expected to warm during the next 50 years. At present, depleted …
California in the US has adopted the world's first plan to reduce the emission of green house gases (GHG) from motor vehicles. The new rules necessitate cutting exhaust from cars and light trucks by 25 per cent and from larger trucks and sport utility vehicles by 18 per cent in …
THE Russian president, Vladimir Putin, has decided to ratify the Kyoto Protocol (it seeks to stabilise greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere). That should soon propel the languishing pact into force, making it international law, once he has sought the Russian Duma's approval (see Almost there). But the pact would …
Proposals for greenhouse-gas reductions have been met with widespread skepticism in the developing world, in part because such countries find their conventional air-pollution problems more pressing. The goal of this article is to examine whether reductions in carbon emissions that are ancillary to conventional pollutant reductions from a policy to …
Trade clean air for green-house gases. What do you get? Pollution? Not necessarily. Money? Almost certainly. Under the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, most developed countries agreed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by an average 5.20 per cent between 2008 and 2012. The European Union, which is one of its signatories, is …
India and Global Climate Change belongs to that happy genre of books that are written pedantically and don't make many concessions for lay readers. But if you persevere you will be rewarded because the subject itself is so gripping. And that is because among the myriad conversations taking place on …
us chemists have found a way to promote soil's natural ability to soak up the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide. As per the findings of James E Amonette and his co-researchers from the us department of energy, maintaining a proper alkalinity level plus frequent watering can coax the soil to retain …
There is dramatic evidence that various Greenhouse Gases are responsible for Global Warming and climate change. This present study discusses the potential of Organic Agriculture both to avoid and to sequester Greenhouse Gases (GHG), and makes comparisons with conventional agriculture. The second part describes how Organic Agriculture can be considered …
controlling the polluting sulphur emissions of ships has become imperative after recent research has proved that they are as harmful as the potent greenhouse gas carbon dioxide. One way to control the pollution is the use of abatement technology that treats the fumes before they are released into the environment. …
australian researchers have recently made an amazing announcement: atmospheric levels of methane, the second most potent greenhouse gas, have stopped rising. "Over the past four years there has been no growth in atmospheric methane concentrations. There was a 15 per cent rise during the preceding 20 years and a 150 …
The Ninth Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), also known as COP-9, is being held in Milan, Italy. The previous conference, COP-8, took place in New Delhi from October 23 to November 1, 2002. Can the lessons from New Delhi be applied …

Toyota is said to be most prepared to face the emerging …
The New Zealand government has dropped the contentious proposal to charge a levy from farmers for methane emitted by their livestock. The plan had been opposed fiercely by the farming community (see: 'Smells like trouble', Down To Earth, August 15, 2003). In New Zealand, methane emissions from ruminants are responsible …
sixteen rice millers of Burdwan and its adjoining districts in West Bengal have joined hands to sell carbon credits to developed nations by switching over to a non-polluting mode of power generation. If their plans come to fruition, they may reap financial rewards under the Kyoto Protocol's Clean Development Mechanism …
Electronic grocery shopping, whereby customers place their orders via the internet, has a potential to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases (ghgs). A research done in Finland shows that emissions decreased by 87 per cent in the study area (Helsinki) when groceries were bought online, as compared to the general situation
