- First-ever study to link increased mortality specifically to carbon dioxide emissions
01-03-2008 · EurekAlert!
A Stanford scientist has spelled out for the first time the direct links between increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and increases in human mortality, using a state-of-the-art computer model of the atmosphere incorporating scores of physical and chemical environmental processes. The new findings, to be published in Geophysical Research Letters, come to light just after the Environmental Protection Agency's recent ruling against states setting specific emission standards for this greenhouse gas.

- Mechanoluminescence event yields novel emissions, reactions
05-08-2007 · EurekAlert!
Researchers at the University of Illinois report that a new study of mechanoluminescence revealed extensive atomic and molecular spectral emission not previously seen in a mechanoluminescence event. The findings, which appear online this month in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, also include the first report of gas phase chemical reactions resulting from a mechanoluminescence event.

- Review of pilot phase of European Union Emissions Trading Scheme finds it to be successful
05-28-2007 · EurekAlert!
Articles published today in the first issue of new journal, Review of Environmental Economics and Policy[1], describe the European Union's Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) as by far the most significant accomplishment in climate policy to date, concluding that it will be central to future global climate negotiations. However since the EU accounts for only 20 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions, the authors also conclude a global framework for managing climate policy is required in the long term.

- MIT sees acceleration in US greenhouse emissions
11-19-2007 · EurekAlert!
US greenhouse gas emissions could grow more quickly in the next 50 years than in the previous half-century, and technological change may cause increased emissions rather than control them, according to a new study by an MIT economist and his colleague.

- Biofuels: More than just ethanol
04-05-2007 · EurekAlert!
As the United States looks to alternate fuel sources, ethanol has become one of the front runners. Scientists studied the greenhouse gas emissions and bioenergy of corn, hybrid poplar, switchgrass and other crops to determine the efficiency of various biocrops in terms of energy consumption and energy output.

- Researchers examine carbon capture and storage to combat global warming
06-11-2007 · EurekAlert!
While solar power and hybrid cars have become popular symbols of green technology, Stanford researchers are exploring another path for cutting emissions of carbon dioxide, the leading greenhouse gas that causes global warming.Carbon capture and storage, also called carbon sequestration, traps carbon dioxide after it is produced and injects it underground. The gas never enters the atmosphere. The practice could transform heavy carbon spewers, such as coal power plants, into relatively clean machines with regard to global warming.

- Falling Behind: North American terrain absorbs carbon dioxide too slowly
12-01-2007 · Science News Online
North America's vegetation soaks up millions of tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere each year, an impressive rate of sequestration that still can't keep up with the prodigious emissions of the planet-warming gas generated by human activity on the continent.

- Traveling in the right direction -- lessening our impact on the environment
02-01-2007 · EurekAlert!
As concern about climate change increasingly focuses on the environmental damage caused by travel, new research shows that there are huge variations in the amount of greenhouse gas emissions for which individuals' travel patterns are responsible.
