Will Greenhouse Gas Emissions Increase Or Decrease?
The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) thinks global carbon emissions will increase 43 percent by 2035 if major nations maintain the status quo as far as energy policies go and do not try to stop climate change. The EIA’s 2010 long-term global energy analysis predicts that energy use will increase 49 percent between 2007 and [...]

China’s Energy Use Threatens Goals on Warming
HONG KONG — Even as China has set ambitious goals for itself in clean-energy production and reduction of global warming gases, the country’s surging demand for power from oil and coal has led to the largest six-month increase in the tonnage of human generated greenhouse gases ever by a single country.
China’s leaders are so concerned [...]

Could we have the next diversion please President Obama?
Now that the Heath Care reform is out of the way, what will be the US Governments next diversionary tactic to keep the population from focusing on important issues?
As the second largest emitter of greenhouse gases at 20% of total global emissions how long will we wait before the upper level that causes catastrophic climate [...]

Study Says Undersea Release of Methane Is Under Way
This report fron the New York Times follows up on other reports posted this week by the Greenhouse Neutral Foundation.
Climate scientists have long warned that global warming could unlock vast stores of the greenhouse gas methane that are frozen into the Arctic permafrost, setting off potentially significant increases in global warming.
Now researchers at the University [...]

Climate change could be accelerated dramatically by rising levels of methane in the Earth’s atmosphere, scientists will warn today
Atmospheric levels of the greenhouse gas, which is as much as 60 times more potent than carbon dioxide, appear to have risen significantly for the past three years running, scientists say.
Experts have long feared that vast amounts of the natural gas trapped in the frozen tundra of the Arctic could be unlocked as the permafrost [...]

Methane levels may see ‘runaway’ rise, scientists warn.
A rapid acceleration may have begun in levels of a gas far more harmful than CO2
Atmospheric levels of methane, the greenhouse gas which is much more powerful than carbon dioxide, have risen significantly for the last three years running, scientists will disclose today – leading to fears that a major global-warming “feedback” is beginning to [...]
