Capturing cow burps: reducing methane emissions
2014-01-14 01:00:00| Power Technology
Researchers in Argentina have developed a method of capturing methane from cattle that they hope will lead to a reduction in the global warming impact of the agricultural sector. But is it a realistic solution or just a lot of hot air?

Arctic Methane Bubbles Not As Foreboding As Once Feared
2014-01-06 21:57:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Public Radio: European scientists were alarmed in 2008 when they discovered streams of methane bubbles erupting from the seafloor in Norway's high Arctic. This gas, which contributes to global warming, was apparently coming from methane ice on the seafloor. A follow-up study finds that methane bubble plumes at this location have probably been forming for a few thousand years, so they are not the result of human-induced climate change. But continued warming of ocean water can trigger more methane releases in the...

Methane release around Arctic islands predates recent climate change
2014-01-03 09:50:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Ars Technica: The earth sciences have described a number of processes that are decidedly unpleasant for any living organisms unlucky enough to experience them, from volcanic eruptions to mass extinctions. Climatic tipping points are one of those scary processes. You can think of them along the lines of a kid who accidentally crests a steep hill on an old bike with no brakes--he wont be stopping before the bottom of the hill (or he wipes out, whichever comes first). Crossing a tipping point in the climate system...

Scientists Say Tax Meat to Help Cut Methane Emissions
2013-12-31 11:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Meat should be taxed to encourage people to eat less of it, so reducing the production of global warming gases from sheep, cattle and goats, according to a group of scientists. The scientists' analysis takes the contentious step of suggesting methane emissions be cut by pushing up the price of meat through a tax or emissions trading scheme. Several high-profile figures, from the chief of the UN's climate science panel to the economist Lord Stern, have previously advocated eating less meat to...
