Methane-eating bacteria are found in extreme environments such as active geothermal hot springs. Advanced X-ray techniques yield insights into a bacterial enzyme that turns methane…
A recent study focusing on “the L.A. megacity” — an area encompassing all of Los Angeles County and areas beyond — found that urban greenery…
Full moon in Tromsø, Norway. Credit: Maja Sojtaric High tides may even counter the potential threat of submarine methane release from the warming Arctic. It…
The time of day when an electric vehicle (EV) is charged can have a large impact on reducing its emissions. In California, home to half…

Study finds simple changes in road resurfacing practices could improve gas mileage for heavy vehicles and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Every time you hear a…
This graphic illustrates the vapor buoyancy effect, in which cold, humid air rises because it is lighter than dry air. Credit: Da Yang/UC Davis The…
New research compared greenhouse gas footprints of online versus traditional shopping. When consumers are trying to decide between traditional and online shopping, many factors come…
Rochester researchers in Greenland drill for ice cores, which contain air bubbles with small quantities of ancient air trapped inside. By measuring the carbon-14 isotope…
A thin section of an ice core collected at Taylor Glacier in Antarctica. The ice core samples contain tiny air bubbles with small quantities of…
Mediterranean-type climates face immediate drops in rainfall when greenhouse gases rise, but this could be stopped quickly if emissions are cut. This is the finding…
In the improved electrolyzer, the reaction happens in a thin layer that combines a copper-based catalyst with Nafion, an ion-conducting polymer. The unique arrangement of…

Humans are helping to increase the Earth’s plant and tree cover, which absorbs carbon from the atmosphere and cools our planet. However, the boom of…
Scientists were expecting to see global emissions of HFC-23 drop by almost 90 percent between 2015 and 2017, but researchers have now shown that concentrations…
