There may actually be life on Mars, according to Curiositys new methane data
2014-12-17 13:26:12| Extremetech
In a rather shocking turnaround, NASA is reporting with confidence that there is indeed methane on Mars. This methane, which was detected by the Curiosity rover, can only really come from two places: Geological activity... or life. The scientific community doesn't quite know how to process this new data: If Mars is alive, either geologically or biologically, it would have profound implications.
More seafloor methane released into Pacific Ocean
2014-12-12 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Science Times: Water at intermediate depths is observed to be warming up as seafloor methane released into the Pacific Ocean is growing at an alarming rate, a recent study found. The said warming is happening at such a point where deposits of carbon will start to melt and free methane into the water. These deposits of methane gas, frozen in layers underneath the seafloor, are beginning to melt, thus, releasing methane into sediments and the surrounding waters, according to the University of Washington research....

EPA methane rules wont hit gas utilities, industry predicts
2014-12-12 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Hill: Natural gas utilities arent expecting to be affected very much by potential methane leak regulations from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Leaders from the American Gas Association (AGA) said that utilities, also known as the downstream part of the supply chain, account for less than a quarter of a percent of all methane leaks in the country. And the costs of reducing leaks from utilities would outweigh many of the benefits of reducing the potent greenhouse gas. Down at our end...
Oil and Gas Industry Faces Its Methane Problem
2014-12-11 22:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Geographic: Seen with the naked eye, a natural gas facility's storage tanks and pipes appear fairly innocuous-boring, in fact. Switch to an infrared camera, and it looks like a five-alarm fire. Clouds of gas billow upward, spewing methane gas into the atmosphere. This month, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will decide on new rules aimed at the oil and gas industry's emissions of methane, a potent greenhouse gas that often comes from leaky or inefficient equipment. But as the industry awaits possible...
