A more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide, methane emissions leap as Earth warms
2014-03-28 01:45:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: While carbon dioxide is typically painted as the bad boy of greenhouse gases, methane is roughly 30 times more potent as a heat-trapping gas. New research in the journal Nature indicates that for each degree that Earth's temperature rises, the amount of methane entering the atmosphere from microorganisms dwelling in lake sediment and freshwater wetlands -- the primary sources of the gas -- will increase several times. As temperatures rise, the relative increase of methane emissions will outpace...

UK greenhouse gas emissions fall by 2%

But official figures published on Thursday show that because of increases in 2010 and 2012, the UK's carbon footprint is still roughly the same as it was in 2009 despite government promises to cut emissions. The fall in 2013 is likely to provide some relief for ministers ahead of a major UN climate science report next week and a renewed push for an international climate change deal...

Australian Broadcasting Corporation: Andrew Mackenzie, who took over at BHP in 2013 has called for a price to be put on greenhouse gas emissions to address the threat of global warming. He says the mining industry needs to do more to develop technology to capture and store carbon dioxide. Talking in Houston Texas on the future of fossil fuels and carbon emissions Andrew Mackenzie said BHP needs to think carefully about controlling its carbon emissions. He wants BHP to lead the way. BHP is the world's largest mining company and the third...
