12-11-13 Last year, the world's first environmental lottery was unveiled in UK, aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and limiting climate change. 去年，世界上第一款环保彩票亮相英国，旨在削减温室气体排放，缓解气候变化。 文中的environmental lottery就是指...

12-10-09 Emissions of the greenhouse gas methane（甲烷） into the atmosphere can be traced back thousands of years in the Greenland ice sheet. Using special analytical methods, researchers from the Niels Bohr Institute, among others, have determined how much...

12-08-09 Washington State University researchers have documented an underappreciated suite of players in global warming: dams, the water reservoirs behind them, and surges of greenhouse gases as water levels go up and down. Bridget Deemer, a doctoral student...

12-07-11 No matter how you drill it, using natural gas as an energy source is a smart move in the battle against global climate change and a good transition step on the road toward low-carbon energy from wind, solar and nuclear power. That is the conclusion...

12-05-15 Milk poured down Britain's kitchen sinks each year creates a carbon footprint equivalent to thousands of car exhaust emissions, research shows. Scientists say the 360,000 tonnes of milk wasted in the UK each year creates greenhouse gas emissions equ...

11-11-22 Global food demand could double by 2050, according to a new projection by David Tilman, Regents Professor of Ecology in the University of Minnesota's College of Biological Sciences, and colleagues, including Jason Hill, assistant professor in the Co...

11-09-08 A three-year series of research flights from the Arctic to the Antarctic has successfully produced an unprecedented portrait of greenhouse gases and particles in the atmosphere, scientists announced. The far-reaching field project, known as HIPPO, i...

11-07-20 U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) scientists have produced the first detailed data on how large-scale dairy（乳品的） facilities contribute to the emission of greenhouse gases. This research was conducted by Agricultural Research Service (ARS) s...

11-06-01 Research from North Carolina State University shows that so-called biodegradable products are likely doing more harm than good in landfills, because they are releasing a powerful greenhouse gas as they break down. Biodegradable materials, such as di...

11-04-13 Natural gas extracted from shale（页岩） formations has a greater greenhouse gas footprint - in the form of methane（甲烷） emissions - than conventional gas, oil and coal over a 20 year period. This calls into question the logic of its use as a cli...
