Softpedia: Natural gas burning as it seeps through the ground to the surface For several years, the public opinion has been battered with the idea that natural gas is much cleaner to exploit than coal, because it contains less carbon. A new study by researchers at the Cornell University and the Purdue University demonstrates that significant levels of the dangerous greenhouse gas methane can be found above shale gas wells. Carbon dioxide is currently the most pervasive greenhouse gas (GHG) in the atmosphere,...

High Emission Levels found in Different Stage Natural Gas Drilling
2014-04-15 00:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: Scientists have discovered high levels of methane above shale gas wells at a point in production not previously thought to be a significant source of emissions, according to a joint study led by Purdue and Cornell universities. The research identified seven well pads with high emission levels, findings that could have serious implications for the evaluation of environmental impacts from natural gas production. Though high-emitting wells made up less than 1 percent of the total number of wells...

Entire marine food chain at risk from rising CO2 levels in water
2014-04-13 19:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Escalating carbon dioxide emissions will cause fish to lose their fear of predators, potentially damaging the entire marine food chain, joint Australian and US research has found. A study by the Australian Institute of Marine Science, James Cook University and the Georgia Institute of Technology found the behavior of fish would be seriously affected by greater exposure to CO2. Researchers studied the behavior of coral reef fish at naturally occurring CO2 vents in Milne Bay, in eastern Papua...
