the atmosphere can no more cleanse itself naturally as well as it used to. Its ability to do so has weakened over the past decade, possibly because of a change in the mix of pollutants emanating from industrialised nations, report us -based researchers. Atmospheric levels of the atmosphere's main cleansing …
although emissions trading between industrialised countries to meet reduction targets will officially begin only when the Kyoto Protocol comes into force, private companies in countries like the uk , Denmark, France and Norway are already engaging in such trading. The latest addition to this list is the us . As …
greenhouse gas emissions have caused the world's oceans to heat up significantly over the last 50 years, according to two latest studies. The Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian oceans have collectively warmed an average of 0.06
Climate change will have a negative impact on food production in tropical developing countries, reports a document of the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO). It states that the losses of production associated with climate change will be higher than those linked with weather-related disasters like cyclones. The FAO said that …
australia will not endorse the Kyoto Protocol. "The Australian government has always said that it will not ratify the treaty ahead of the us ,' said Robert Hill, the country's environment minister. Hill claimed that the Kyoto Protocol is now non-operational, as the us has backed out. "The world has …
Scientists from Imperial Collegeukhave come out with the first observed evidence of increase in greenhouse effect on Earth between 1970 and 1997. Previous studies in this area have depended on theoretical simulations because of lack of data. Howeverthe researchers at the Imperial College reached their conclusions after analysing data collected …
the infrastructure for coordinating research about various worldwide environmental changes must be restructured for taking correct decisions on issues such as greenhouse gas emission policies. This was stated in a report by the National Research Council (nrc), which aims to influence president George Bush's administration. The report
for the first time, in an unequivocal verdict, scientists have held human activities responsible for most of the warming of the Earth's atmosphere over the last 50 years. Latest assessment of scientific studies of climate change by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (ipcc) predicts that such actions will continue …
The IPCC report came in for criticism from none other than China, the host of the Shanghai conference. Chinese representatives blamed the forum of ignoring views of scientists who believe global warming is a part of normal climatic fluctuations instead of a consequence of rising carbon dioxide emissions. "The organisation …
Minute traces of specially designed greenhouse gases can be used to heat up Mars and make the planet habitable much faster than anyone thought possible. "On the Earth these gases may be pollution, but on Mars they are medicine,' says Chris McKay, who organised a meeting at the National Aeronautics …
it is time to take out sun creams, ultraviolet protective sunglasses, wide brimmed hats and clothing with long sleeves because the largest ever ozone hole over Antarctica has just been detected by the us National Aeronautics and Space Administration ( nasa) . The ozone hole over the Antarctic is the …
canada's greenhouse gas emissions, in 1998, were 19 per cent more than the target set under the Kyoto Protocol, the country's environment ministry has revealed. The ministry says that emissions from the electricity sector are 28 per cent above the 1990 levels and have continued to grow as coal is …
a team of scientists at Ohio University in the us is working on technology that uses algae, sunlight and the natural process of photosynthesis to absorb carbon dioxide ( co 2 ) from the combustion of coal. The result: reduced greenhouse gas emissions. co 2 has been identified as the …
Scientists have developed a new way of tackling global warming by feeding cattle a daily dose of bacteria to stop them belching out methane as they graze. Cows, and to a lesser extent sheep, are responsible for nearly a quarter of the global emissions of methane, a greenhouse gas. Contrary …
Carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere are at their highest in 20 million years, two British scientists have revealed. Paul Pearson, of the University of Bristol, in the west of England, and Martin Palmer, of Imperial College, London, reported in the magazine Nature that they used the evidence of plankton …
a team of us and European scientists have identified a new greenhouse gas that traps heat more effectively than all other known greenhouse gases. Trifluoromethyl sulfur pentafluoride ( sf5 cf3 ) is a synthetic gas and is 18,000 times more effective in trapping atmospheric heat as compared to carbon dioxide, …
