A recent paper emphasizes broader strategies for tackling climate change, including addressing CO2 sensitivity, aerosol impacts, and policy measures. It predicts accelerated global warming and…
Scientists have discovered that methane trapped under Svalbard’s permafrost can escape, risking a warming cycle. Frequent methane accumulations found in wellbore studies highlight the potential…
New research reveals that fire-ice, or frozen methane which is trapped as a solid under our oceans, is at risk of melting due to climate…

Researchers at the University of Miami have discovered that carbon dioxide’s greenhouse effect intensifies as its atmospheric concentration increases, challenging long-standing beliefs about its constant…
Flaring, in which excess natural gas is intentionally burned into the air, is one way methane is released from oil and gas facilities. NASA’s EMIT…
The 2023 MIT Energy Initiative Conference focused on action over debate in climate change mitigation, with advances in technology and distributed energy systems taking center…
Cardiovascular deaths in the U.S. from extreme heat are projected to double or triple by mid-century if greenhouse gas emissions are not reduced. In nationwide…
A section of sediment core material from Wax Lips Lake in northern Greenland from a study where ancient aquatic plant fossils revealed that past warming…
Researchers have determined that ponds, both natural and man-made, might be net emitters of greenhouse gases, specifically methane. By examining carbon burial rates and greenhouse…
NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory-developed imaging spectrometer, targeting greenhouse gas emissions, has been delivered to Planet Labs PBC. Set for a 2024 launch, it will enhance…
Introducing additives to concrete manufacturing processes could reduce the sizeable carbon footprint of the material without altering its bulk mechanical properties, an MIT study shows.…

Stevia-based sweeteners are natural sweeteners extracted from the stevia plant, known for their high sweetness levels with little to no calories. New research from the…
Researchers have found an effective new method for removing carbon dioxide from the ocean. It could be implemented by ships that would process seawater as…
Scientists in China have proposed and realized a new concept—barocaloric thermal batteries based on the unique inverse barocaloric effect. With this they can extract thermal…
Greenhouse gas emissions refer to the release of harmful gases, such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide, into the atmosphere. These emissions are a…
A new study expands on previous work that was featured in the most recent major climate report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).…
Medical gowns are garments worn by healthcare workers, patients, and visitors in medical facilities to prevent the spread of infection. These gowns are typically made…
