New Study Could Help Develop More Efficient, Affordable Algae-Based Biofuels

Researchers from Rutgers University have found how diatoms—a kind of alga that can generate 20% of the atmospheric oxygen—are able to use solar energy for photosynthesis.

Natural Gas Leakage is the Key Contributor to Atmospheric Methane in Los Angeles

When talking about anthropogenic climate change, carbon dioxide usually grabs the attention; however, it is not the only greenhouse gas emitted into the atmosphere by human activity. Neither is it the most powerful.

Study on Potential of Trees to Decelerate Global Warming in the Future

Similar to the eponymous character in classic children’s tale by Shel Silverstein, trees are lavish with their gifts, cleaning the air humans breathe and decelerating the effects of global warming by absorbing nearly a quarter of all human-caused carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.

Plastic-Based Materials can Store Natural Gas and Combat Climate Change

Scientists have synthesized plastic-based materials that can make large-scale, profitable, and safe natural gas storage possible and can further hopefully combat global warming.

Rising CO2 Levels Could Boost Wheat Yield but Slightly Reduce Nutritional Quality

Levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) are rising, which experts predict could produce more droughts and hotter temperatures. Although these weather changes would negatively impact many plants’ growth, the increased CO2 availability might actually be advantageous because plants use the greenhouse gas to make food by photosynthesis.

Higher CO2 Levels Increase Wheat Production but Lower Nutritional Quality

Scientists anticipate that increasing carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in the air could lead to hotter temperatures and more droughts.

Role of Global Warming in the Emergence of Candida auris

According to new research reported in mBio—an open-access journal of the American Society for Microbiology—global warming may have had a key role in the rise of Candida auris.

Increased AC use in Europe Causes More Greenhouse Gas Emissions

According to new research reported in Environmental Science and Policy, in the absence of sufficient and focused policies, several households will depend on air conditioners to adjust to climate change, thereby producing increased greenhouse gas emissions.

Pathways to Reduce Carbon Emissions in China

Fulfilling the ultimate goal of the 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change — keeping global warming well below 2 degrees Celsius, if not 1.5 C — will be impossible without dramatic action from the world's largest emitter of greenhouse gases, China.
