“The key is that you have to compare the models to the observations in a consistent way,” said author Kyle Armour, a UW assistant professor of oceanography and atmospheric sciences

N2O, a greenhouse gas with 300 times the warming potential of carbon dioxide, persists for over a century in the Earth’s atmosphere and is known to cause significant damage to the Earth’s ozone layer

Modeling and data analysis done by researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology suggest that sea ice and snowfall changes have shifted China's winter monsoon, helping create stagnant atmospheric conditions that trap pollution over the country's major population and industrial centers

Research findings vital to providing solutions to global food security challenge

The scientists experimentally warmed an array of ponds over seven years by 4-5ºC and studied the impacts on greenhouse gas emissions and rates of metabolism

The study also found that fiscal incentives like low cost finance for innovation in general, not specifically for green projects, are pivotal to increase the diffusion of green technologies

Now atmospheric scientists at the University of Washington have set the new temperature record to an electronic dance beat

The benefits are two-fold: The process removes harmful CO₂ from the atmosphere, and the diesel can be used as an alternative fuel to gasoline

Megadroughts are rare events, occurring only once or twice each millennium

The researchers conclude that rising biofuel use has been associated with a net increase—rather than a net decrease, as many have claimed—in the carbon dioxide emissions that cause global warming
