Little-studied synthetic gases could have large effects on the ozone layer and climate if their use goes unchecked, according…
How can air bubbles trapped in ice for millions of years, or fossilised fern fronds, or the chemical make-up of rocks that were underwater in the distant past provide us with an inkling of our future…
To stop global warming, most governments are advocating reducing the amount of carbon dioxide (CO₂), a greenhouse gas, put into the atmosphere. But some argue that such action won’t be enough – we will…
New research has found that the release of forest emissions and smoke from wildfires had a far greater impact on global warming…
While the prime minister has shown unequivocal support for exploiting Britain’s shale gas reserves, stating the country should “go all out for shale gas”, more cautious voices point to possible effects…
Iron and steel are components of an almost limitless number of infrastructure and consumer goods. From forks to tanks, syringes to satellites, cars to computers, from buildings to the power stations that…
Rivers and streams release carbon dioxide at a rate five times greater than the world’s lakes and reservoirs combined. The…
Female mosquitos, which can transmit deadly diseases like malaria, are attracted to humans by the scent of exhaled carbon…
Even if emissions were brought to a halt, the carbon dioxide in the earth’s atmosphere is enough to continue warming the…
Methanosaeta, one of the earth’s most prominent methane producing micro-organisms, converts CO2 to methane by making electrical…
As CO2 levels in the atmosphere increase, so too does the earth’s sensitivity to the gas, according to new research conducted…
Atmospheric CO2 concentrations reached record levels last year according to the UN World Meteorological Organisation. The…
Carbon and carbon dioxide are found all around us. All living things contain carbon - it’s one of the essential building blocks of life and is fundamental to many chemical processes. Carbon dioxide (CO2…
Polychaete worms can change their metabolic rates to adapt to waters with high levels carbon dioxide. A study conducted by…
A new micro-organism has been discovered that could help tackle greenhouse gas emissions. University of Queensland researchers…
University of Adelaide researchers have created a nano material to reduce carbon dioxide emissions produced by coal-fired…
Researchers in the US have done the first ever whole-country study of methane emissions. In some cases they found higher…
Last week the greenhouse gas monitoring site at Mauna Loa in Hawaii recorded daily levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide that approached the 400 parts per million molar (ppm) benchmark. Annual mean Southern…
On May 9, 2013, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in the US recorded CO2 levels in the atmosphere at of 400 parts per million. This signifies a return to the atmospheric conditions similar…
