ENERGY TRANSITIONS: Methane hits record high as oil majors plan new emission cuts
More than 60 oil and gas companies committed to a new framework today to report methane emissions as the United Nations reported that atmospheric levels of the greenhouse gas reached a record high.
Plutoâs landscape more like Earthâs than previously thought
New analysis of data gathered from New Horizons’ 2015 flyby of Pluto shows evidence of Earth-like snow-capped mountains and the potential for glaciers made of methane ice.
New technique seamlessly converts ammonia to green hydrogen
(Northwestern University) Northwestern University researchers have developed a highly effective, environmentally friendly method for converting ammonia into hydrogen. The new technique is a major step forward for enabling a zero-pollution, hydrogen-fueled economy. The idea of using ammonia as a carrier for hydrogen delivery has gained traction in recent years because ammonia is much easier to liquify than hydrogen and is therefore much easier to store and transport. Northwestern’s technological breakthrough overcomes several existing barriers to the production of clean hydrogen from ammonia.
Reducing aerosol pollution without cutting carbon dioxide could make the planet hotter
Humans must reduce carbon dioxide and aerosol pollution simultaneously to avoid weakening the ocean’s ability to keep the planet cool, new research shows.
Accelerated global warming and stadial cooling events: IPCC oversights regarding future climate trends
by Andrew Glikson The linear nature of global warming projections by the IPCC (2014) Assessment Report (AR5) (Figure 1) appears to take little account of stadial cooling events, such as have followed peak temperature rises in previous interglacial stages. The…
MSNBC’s Katy Tur, Michael ‘Hockey Stick’ Mann Eager For Crippling Climate Regs
On her 2:00 p.m. ET hour show on Thursday, MSNBC anchor and left-wing climate change activist Katy Tur was salivating over the incoming Biden administration’s plans to implement economy-killing climate regulations by executive fiat. She led off the segment by…
‘Past a point of no return’: Reducing greenhouse gas emissions to zero still won’t stop global warming, study says – USA TODAY
Humanity is beyond the point of no return when it comes to halting the melting of permafrost, a new study says. To stop the warming, “enormous amounts of carbon dioxide have to be extracted from the atmosphere.” Some experts are…
How to improve natural gas production in shale
A new hydrocarbon study contradicts conventional wisdom about how methane is trapped in rock, revealing a new strategy to more easily access the valuable energy resource.
Climate change: Ending greenhouse gas emissions may not stop global warming – EurekAlert
Even if human-induced greenhouse gas emissions can be reduced to zero, global temperatures may continue to rise for centuries afterwards, according to a simulation of the global climate between 1850 and 2500 published in Scientific Reports. Jorgen Randers and colleagues…
Above Zero Celsius at North Pole November 2020
Above image shows that, in October 2020, the Arctic Ocean was very hot. The Copernicus image below shows temperatures averaged over the twelve-month period from November 2019 to October 2020. Keep in mind that, in the Copernicus image, anomalies are…
