NASAs Curiosity detects no methane on Mars, ruling out life on Mars
2013-09-25 18:11:06| Extremetech
In a surprising and probably killer blow to the possibility of finding microbial life on Mars, Curiosity has reported that there's no methane in the Martian atmosphere. New findings from Curiosity strongly suggest that previous observations from Earth, which indicated that there was actually quite a lot of methane on Mars, were false. With no methane, it is very unlikely that there's life on Mars.
Rising methane 'due to mining and wetlands'

Australian Broadcasting Corporation: Methane rise A rise in atmospheric methane emissions after 2006 is likely due to expanding wetlands and an increase in emissions from mining of fossil fuels, say researchers. An international team report their findings today in the journal Nature Geoscience. "We think that the two reasons - fossil fuels and methane from wetlands - are the best explanations given the data," says Australian author Dr Pep Canadell, from CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research. Methane is a powerful greenhouse...

How much methane leaks out during fracking?
2013-09-20 16:56:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mother Nature Network: Critics of the natural gas extraction technique known as fracking have long criticized it for leaking too much methane a potent greenhouse gas into the atmosphere during the extraction process. The Environmental Protection Agency recently estimated that natural gas operations emitted about 145 million metric tons of methane in 2011, making it the biggest source of these emissions in the country. Now a new study, sponsored by the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) and nine energy petroleum companies,...
