Warming Climate Unlikely to Cause Major Methane Release

By National Science Foundation on Mar 3, 2020   Featured, Science/Education, The Arctic and Alaska Science  

Warming Climate Unlikely to Cause Major Methane Release

  A long-feared scenario in which global warming causes Arctic permafrost to melt and release enough methane—a potent greenhouse gas–to accelerate warming and cause catastrophe probably won’t happen. That is the conclusion of a study appearing in the journal Science that began more than 20 years ago as a query posed by Jeff Severinghaus, a geoscientist at the Scripps Institution […]

Keeping the Carbon in Alaska Forests

Keeping the Carbon in Alaska Forests

  A scientist has an idea for reducing global carbon-dioxide emissions — fight Alaska forest fires more aggressively. Carly Phillips, an ecologist with the Union of Concerned Scientists, thinks there is a unique Alaska opportunity to keep carbon in the soil, and in tissues of living trees and other plants. “Alaska stores nearly one half […]

UN: Greenhouse Gasses Reach Record High

Atmospheric levels of climate-changing greenhouse gases hit a record high in 2018, “with no sign of a slowdown, let alone a decline,” the World Meteorological Organization said. In a report released Monday, the WMO said despite international pledges made under the Paris Agreement, the levels of carbon monoxide, methane and nitrous oxide all surged by […]

US Notifies UN It Will Withdraw From Paris Climate Deal

US Notifies UN It Will Withdraw From Paris Climate Deal

UNITED NATIONS – The United States announced Monday that it has notified the United Nations that it will begin its withdrawal from the 2015 Paris climate agreement to lower greenhouse gas emissions.  “President Donald Trump made this decision because the Paris Agreement unfairly burdens American businesses, workers and taxpayers while giving a free pass to […]

Rising Tundra Temperatures Lead to Changes in Microbial Communities

Rising Tundra Temperatures Lead to Changes in Microbial Communities

  Image-Researchers studied changes in soil microbes in tundra near Denali National Park in Alaska. Credit: Ted Schuur Rising temperatures in the tundra of northern latitudes could affect microbial communities in ways likely to increase their production of the greenhouse gases methane and carbon dioxide, a new study of experimentally warmed Alaskan soil suggests. The […]

Trump Rolls Back Rules to Curb Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Trump Rolls Back Rules to Curb Greenhouse Gas Emissions

  The Trump administration is rolling back rules to curb greenhouse gas emissions in the United States as scientists continue to warn countries to rapidly cut emissions to prevent the most drastic effects of climate change. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced Wednesday it had finalized rules to replace the Clean Power Plan, former President Barack Obama’s […]

New Battery Gobbles up Carbon Dioxide

By David L Chandler MIT News Office on Sep 21, 2018   Featured, Science/Education  

New Battery Gobbles up Carbon Dioxide

A new type of battery developed by researchers at MIT could be made partly from carbon dioxide captured from power plants. Rather than attempting to convert carbon dioxide to specialized chemicals using metal catalysts, which is currently highly challenging, this battery could continuously convert carbon dioxide into a solid mineral carbonate as it discharges. While […]

Trump’s Environmental Policy Roll-back Alarms Activists

CHARLESTON, WEST VIRGINIA — Environmentalists are alarmed that President Donald Trump is following through on his campaign pledges to roll back Obama-era rules that tightened restrictions on greenhouse gases, promising the moves would lead to more American jobs and economic growth. At a recent rally in Charleston, West Virginia, under a “Trump Digs Coal” banner, the […]

Unexpected Future Boost of Methane Possible from Arctic Permafrost

By Ellen Gray | NASA's Earth Science News Team on Aug 19, 2018   Featured, The Arctic and Alaska Science  

Unexpected Future Boost of Methane Possible from Arctic Permafrost

New NASA-funded research has discovered that Arctic permafrost’s expected gradual thawing and the associated release of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere may actually be sped up by instances of a relatively little known process called abrupt thawing. Abrupt thawing takes place under a certain type of Arctic lake, known as a thermokarst lake that forms […]
