Arctic May Have Crossed Key Threshold, Emitting Several Tons Of Carbon
The Arctic is undergoing a profound, rapid and unmitigated shift into a new climate state, one that is greener, features far less ice, and is a net source of greenhouse gas emissions from melting permafrost, according to a major new federal assessment of the region released Tuesday.

Greenland's Melting Ice-Sheet Bed Releases Tonnes Of Methane, Says Study
Researchers have found that the Greenland ice sheet emits tonnes of methane, showing that sub-glacial biological activity impacts the atmosphere far more than it was thought previously.

Australia's Great Barrier Reef Bleaching Worse Than First Thought
Coral bleaching on Australia's Great Barrier Reef is worse than first thought and the impact will accelerate unless global greenhouse gas emissions are cut, scientists said Monday.

Tree Trunks Emit Methane Rather Than Storing It
Tree trunks in upland forests actually emit methane rather than storing it, say scientists who claim to have found a new, previously unaccounted source of this powerful greenhouse gas.

CNG More Harmful For Environment Than Diesel: Government To Gujarat High Court
Citing an expert committee report on fuels, the state government today told the Gujarat High Court that CNG will prove more harmful to the environment than diesel "as CNG engines emit more greenhouse gases than diesel".

Nations With Least Emissions Most Vulnerable To Climate Change
Countries that emit the least amounts of greenhouse gases are ironically the most vulnerable to climate change effects such as increased frequency of natural disasters, changing habitats and human health impacts, a new study has found.

Less Polluted Nations Most Vulnerable To Climate Change, Says Study
Nations producing less greenhouse gases are most vulnerable to climate change, while the highest emitting countries are ironically least exposed to environmental change effects triggered by global warming, according to a new study.

Small Ponds Emit Huge Share Of Greenhouse Gases: Study
Tiny ponds less than a quarter of an acre in size play a disproportionately large role in global greenhouse gas emissions from inland waters, a new study has found.

Freshwater Bodies Emit More Greenhouse Gases: Study
The world's rivers and streams pump about 10 times more methane into our atmosphere than scientists had previously estimated, a new study has found. The study also shows that human activity seems to drive which streams are the biggest contributors.

Why India and China Are Key to Ending Asia's Haze
The thick haze that's blanketed much of Southeast Asia for the last month carries the ashy remains of Indonesian forests and peatlands - burnt in many cases to clear land for producing palm oil, the world's most popular edible oil. It's an annual occurrence dating back decades, and this year it's particularly bad: According to one report, the 2015 ...

Weak Climate Plans Mean World Set to Overshoot Temperature Goal: International Energy Agency
Countries' current pledges for greenhouse gas cuts will fail to achieve a peak in energy-related emissions by 2030 and likely result in a temperature rise of 2.6 degrees Celsius by the end of the century, the International Energy Agency said on Monday.

Greenhouse Gas Emission by Oceans Rising Due to Global Warming
Rising temperatures can indirectly increase the amount of greenhouse gases emitted by the oceans, a study shows.
