Fireworks that mark public leave the air pollutant ozone according to research conducted at the Jawaharlal Nehru University , in India. Ozone in the lower atmosphere works as a respiratory irritant, a greenhouse gas and a plant toxin. Its production from oxygen in this part of the atmosphere was previously …
Norwegian researchers believe that dumping carbon dioxide in the ocean could lock up the greenhouse gas for centuries. The natural process of carbon dioxide dissol-ving into the surface of the ocean can be hastened by injecting the gas into deep waters. Researchers from the Nansen Environmental and Remote Sensing Center, …
the atmosphere can no more cleanse itself naturally as well as it used to. Its ability to do so has weakened over the past decade, possibly because of a change in the mix of pollutants emanating from industrialised nations, report us -based researchers. Atmospheric levels of the atmosphere's main cleansing …
The international treaties for the protection of the ozone layer and the global climate are closely related. Not only has the Montreal Protocol for the protection of the ozone layer served as a useful example in developing the international climate regime, but policies pursued in both issue areas influence each …
although emissions trading between industrialised countries to meet reduction targets will officially begin only when the Kyoto Protocol comes into force, private companies in countries like the uk , Denmark, France and Norway are already engaging in such trading. The latest addition to this list is the us . As …
greenhouse gas emissions have caused the world's oceans to heat up significantly over the last 50 years, according to two latest studies. The Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian oceans have collectively warmed an average of 0.06
Climate change will have a negative impact on food production in tropical developing countries, reports a document of the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO). It states that the losses of production associated with climate change will be higher than those linked with weather-related disasters like cyclones. The FAO said that …
australia will not endorse the Kyoto Protocol. "The Australian government has always said that it will not ratify the treaty ahead of the us ,' said Robert Hill, the country's environment minister.

In this paper the authors have estimated for 1990 and 1995 the inventory of greenhouse gases CO2, CH4 and N2O for India at a national and sub-regional district level. The district level estimates are important for improving the national inventories as well as for developing sound mitigation strategies at manageable …
Scientists from Imperial Collegeukhave come out with the first observed evidence of increase in greenhouse effect on Earth between 1970 and 1997. Previous studies in this area have depended on theoretical simulations because of lack of data. Howeverthe researchers at the Imperial College reached their conclusions after analysing data collected …
the infrastructure for coordinating research about various worldwide environmental changes must be restructured for taking correct decisions on issues such as greenhouse gas emission policies. This was stated in a report by the National Research Council (nrc), which aims to influence president George Bush's administration. The report
The IPCC report came in for criticism from none other than China, the host of the Shanghai conference. Chinese representatives blamed the forum of ignoring views of scientists who believe global warming is a part of normal climatic fluctuations instead of a consequence of rising carbon dioxide emissions. "The organisation …
for the first time, in an unequivocal verdict, scientists have held human activities responsible for most of the warming of the Earth's atmosphere over the last 50 years. Latest assessment of scientific studies of climate change by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (ipcc) predicts that such actions will continue …
Minute traces of specially designed greenhouse gases can be used to heat up Mars and make the planet habitable much faster than anyone thought possible. "On the Earth these gases may be pollution, but on Mars they are medicine,' says Chris McKay, who organised a meeting at the National Aeronautics …
it is time to take out sun creams, ultraviolet protective sunglasses, wide brimmed hats and clothing with long sleeves because the largest ever ozone hole over Antarctica has just been detected by the us National Aeronautics and Space Administration ( nasa) . The ozone hole over the Antarctic is the …
This study looks at the linkages between dams and climate change. It analyses the climate change legal regime as represented by the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and its Kyoto Protocol and attempts to highlight the relevance of its provisions, decisions and processes to the planning, appraisal, design, construction, …
canada's greenhouse gas emissions, in 1998, were 19 per cent more than the target set under the Kyoto Protocol, the country's environment ministry has revealed. The ministry says that emissions from the electricity sector are 28 per cent above the 1990 levels and have continued to grow as coal is …
