Reducing cows belches and global warming gases
2014-08-02 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Living on Earth: Researchers from Holland and around the world are developing a feed additive that reduces methane emissions from cows. Jake Lucas reports that the additive prevents microbes in bovine gut from making so much of the potent global warming gas. Transcript LUCAS: If cows were more polite, we'd have one less pollution problem to worry about. Whenever cows let loose a little gas--particularly when they burp--they emit methane, a powerful greenhouse gas. In fact, the EPA estimates that burping cattle...

Climate: Meat turns up the heat as livestock emit greenhouse gases
2014-07-21 21:46:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Eating meat contributes to climate change, due to greenhouse gasses emitted by livestock. New research finds that livestock emissions are on the rise and that beef cattle are responsible for far more greenhouse gas emissions than other types of animals. It is published by Climactic Change. Carbon dioxide is the most-prevalent gas when it comes to climate change. It is released by vehicles, industry, and forest removal and comprises the greatest portion of greenhouse gas totals. But methane and...
Next Generation Gold Coating Helps Gas Sniffers' Track Down Greenhouse Gases

A new process that combines a gold plating technique developed for the Space Program's YAG Laser Pump Cavities with the age-old manufacturing technique of electroforming, is now dramatically increasing the sensitivity of infrared gas analyzers and sensors—products that have long used infrared light to detect CO, CO2 and many other trace gases in the atmosphere

Climate: Greenhouse gases drive Australia drying trend
2014-07-14 09:17:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Summit Voice: Increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases and ozone depletion over Antarctica are the main drivers of the long-term decline in rainfall over southwestern Australia, federal scientists said in a weekend press release. The findings, published in Nature Geoscience, are derived from a new high-resolution climate model that may help researchers identify more links between heat-trapping gases and regional climate trends, including here in the U.S. "This is really the first study to explicitly...
