We need to find a better way to measure methane
2016-06-05 14:08:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Grist: There may be a significant problem with the measuring stick scientists use to account for how much methane is affecting climate change, according to a recent study led by researchers at Oxford University. The long-term effect of methane emissions might appear to be a lot greater than it really is when compared to carbon dioxide in terms of both gases potential to warm the climate. The Oxford researchers suggest a new way to account for methane that highlights the considerable differences in how...
Arctic Ocean methane does not reach the atmosphere
2016-05-30 04:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: 250 methane flares release the climate gas methane from the seabed and into the Arctic Ocean. During the summer months this leads to an increased methane concentration in the ocean. But surprisingly, very little of the climate gas rising up through the sea reaches the atmosphere. "Our results are exciting and controversial," says senior scientist Cathrine Lund Myhre from NILU -- Norwegian Institute for Air Research, who is cooperating with CAGE through MOCA project. The results were published...

Treating cows with antibiotics doubles dung methane emissions
2016-05-25 01:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New Scientist: Antibiotics given to cattle can have far-reaching effects in an ecosystem, changing the make-up of microbes in the guts of dung beetles and increasing methane emissions from faeces. Researchers have analysed dung and the ecosystem it supports from cattle given a course of the antibiotic tetracycline. Such antibiotics are commonly given to livestock to prevent diseases and stimulate growth, even though this can lead to the development of drug-resistant bacteria. The team found that the dung...

EPA to oil and gas industry: Watch your methane emissions
2016-05-20 23:47:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
La-Kabylie: The United States on Thursday unveiled the first federal regulations on methane - a powerful greenhouse gas that accelerates global warming - aimed at reducing emissions from new oil and gas operations. Environmental advocates insist that federal limits on methane are crucial for meeting the Obama administration's pledges to limit greenhouse gas emissions and slow global warming. The Environmental Protection Agency's new rules for methane emissions from new oil and gas production, released...
