On Friday the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is expected to release the first of four volumes of its fifth comprehensive assessment of scientific knowledge on climate change, known as AR5.
Methane and natural debt and impacts on India’s workers of extreme climate change - a presentation by Kirk R. Smith at CSE Annual South Asian Media Briefing Workshop on Climate Change, 2013 held in New Delhi from September 18-19, 2013.
Scientists will call for a major push this week to reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture through the use of a modified tropical grass.
South Asia is extremely vulnerable, it needs to act urgently to negotiate the climate deal said Sunita Narain, Director General, CSE in this presentation at the CSE Annual South Asian Media Briefing Workshop on Climate Change, 2013 being held in New Delhi from September 18-19, 2013.
Natural gas leaks from production wells are lower than previous estimates and below the level that would erase the fuel’s climate benefit over coal, according to a University of Texas study backed
By the end of this century it’s going to be hotter than ever – the average day temperature in Tamil Nadu, now 32.9 degree Celsius is likely to go up by 3.1 degree Celsius.
This was the finding of a study conducted by a team of researchers at the Centre for Climate Change and Adaptation Research (CCC&AR), Anna University
Carbon dioxide levels in our atmosphere have increased by about 0.5 per cent every year during the last decade, satellite observations of greenhouse gases have found.
The World Bank said on Tuesday it was planning "aggressive action" to help developing nations cut emissions of soot and other air pollutants blamed for causing climate change, in a shift also meant
In a couple of months from now, the food served at the Amma canteen at Saravanampatty will be environment friendly in that the food will be cooked using bio-fuel.
Agriculture is one of the largest contributors of the anthropogenic greenhouse gases (GHGs) responsible for global warming. Measurements of gas fluxes from dung pats suggest that dung is a source of GHGs, but whether these emissions are modified by arthropods has not been studied. A closed chamber system was used to measure the fluxes of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) from dung pats with and without dung beetles on a grass sward. The presence of dung beetles significantly affected the fluxes of GHGs from dung pats.
