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 [...]

Reported in Science this tipping point on the destabilization of methane clathrates was detailed as a possible consequence on Arctic warming in ZERO Greenhouse Emissions. The book by Bob Williamson of the Greenhouse Neutral Foundation suggests this as one of multiple interlinked outcomes. It is required reading to determine how action must now be focused, [...]

By Bob Williamson – Greenhouse Neutral Foundation The reality of that welcome to us would be our reply, “I’m not getting on this flight!” Yet we are all in fact on that flight with climate change and the plane has taken off. Much has been promoted in the media lately that climate change science is [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

The Greenhouse Neutral Foundation was recently alerted to this breaking technology by Alex Salkever of Picarro. Alex directed us to the video below and on viewing; we were excited by the potential of this technology and its broad deployment. While emissions of methane (CH4 a greenhouse gas 25 times a potent as a CO2 for [...]

Experts say methane emissions from the Arctic have risen by almost one-third in just five years, and that sharply rising temperatures are to blame Scientists have recorded a massive spike in the amount of a powerful greenhouse gas seeping from Arctic permafrost, in a discovery that highlights the risks of a dangerous climate tipping point. [...]

Higher temperatures on the earth’s surface at higher latitudes cause an increase in the emission of methane, a greenhouse gas that plays an important role in global warming. Therefore, higher temperatures are not just a consequence of climate change but can also worsen cause of it, conclude climate researchers in an article published inScience. During [...]

IT’S crunch time. Two years ago in a huge conference hall in Bali, after a marathon negotiating session that left some delegates in tears, envoys from 192 nations set themselves a deadline of 2009. The task in question? To come up with a way of extending the essence of the Kyoto protocol beyond 2012. The [...]
