Scientists have developed a new way of tackling global warming by feeding cattle a daily dose of bacteria to stop them belching out methane as they graze. Cows, and to a lesser extent sheep, are responsible for nearly a quarter of the global emissions of methane, a greenhouse gas. Contrary …
a team of scientists at Ohio University in the us is working on technology that uses algae, sunlight and the natural process of photosynthesis to absorb carbon dioxide ( co 2 ) from the combustion of coal. The result: reduced greenhouse gas emissions. co 2 has been identified as the …
Carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere are at their highest in 20 million years, two British scientists have revealed. Paul Pearson, of the University of Bristol, in the west of England, and Martin Palmer, of Imperial College, London, reported in the magazine Nature that they used the evidence of plankton …
a team of us and European scientists have identified a new greenhouse gas that traps heat more effectively than all other known greenhouse gases. Trifluoromethyl sulfur pentafluoride ( sf5 cf3 ) is a synthetic gas and is 18,000 times more effective in trapping atmospheric heat as compared to carbon dioxide, …
australia's greenhouse gas emissions have increased by at least 16.9 per cent during 1990-98, according to a government survey. This means that it has crossed its Kyoto Climate Change Protocol target, which stipulates an eight per cent increase by 2010. A survey conducted by the National Greenhouse Gas Inventory shows …
In 1981-82, some farmers from Hoshiarpur and Nawanshehar districts approached scientists at Punjab Agricultural University (PAU), Ludhiana. Their wheat crops had turned white, animals were diseased with healthy cattle dying within months of purchase. Soil analysis indicated selenium (Se) levels above toxic limits in an area of 1,000 hectares of …
The burning of fossil fuels leads to the release of carbon dioxide and other gases into the atmosphere. Once in the atmosphere, these gases act like glass walls and trap heat on the Earth's surface. If the rise in carbon emissions goes unchecked, the planet's average temperature could rise by …
support from unexpected quarters has come as a welcome surprise for developing countries which have demanded that international climate change negotiations be based on the principle of equity. A study by the uk 's Royal Commission on Environmental Pollution ( rcep ) says that an effective, enduring and equitable climate …
according to a recently published article, greenhouse gas (ghg) emissions reduction programme undertaken by us cities could help meet 10 per cent of the total target usa has to meet under its Kyoto Protocol obligations. Urban planners in the us believe that enthusiastic participation by the municipalities in such programmes …
the New Zealand government recently passed an energy efficiency bill to cut down on greenhouse gas emissions. Greens party co-leader Jeanette Fitzsimons said the bill is the first piece of legislation in the country to address climate change. The Energy Efficiency and Conservation Bill, put forward by the Greens, gives …
mirrors orbiting outer space; giant reflectors between the Earth and the Sun; trillions of helium balloons in the air. Does this read like a sci-fi script to you? These are some of the rather elaborate solutions to counter the rising carbon dioxide ( co2 ) levels in the atmosphere. These …
australia has for the first time expressed concerns over the implementation of the Kyoto Protocol that sets an international agenda to cut greenhouse gas emissions from 2002. It feels that political pressure in the us due to the presidential election in November would impede attempts to set a pace on …
IF you are a twelve or thirteen-year-old school child in Kansas, USA one of your text-books is to be doctored by fundamentalists. The modified sections are on historical geology and palaeontology. Chapters on fossils, and oil and gas deposits are to be deleted. For the young of Kansas, the history …
THE great compressed natural gas (CNG)-diesel debate has touched new, abysmal levels of absurdity! Consider the choice before us. On the one hand we have the noisy, foul-smelling, poison-belching diesel engines that choke our cities and their citizenry in noxious fumes and clouds of suspended particulate matter. On the other, …
the giant us oil company Texaco Inc has quit from the Global Climate Coalition ( gcc ), a business group that opposes the Kyoto Treaty's approach to combat global warming. The gcc is also an aggressive critic of scientific studies linking global warming to emissions from fossil fuels. After Ford …
unbelievable, but true, ice crystals found inside the seafloor have more energy than all the world's fossil fuels put together. Before the 1970s, scientists did not even know that they existed under the sea. But several expeditions later, some startling findings have come to light about methane hydrate - a …
