The Misguided Crusade to Reduce Anthropogenic Methane Emissions
The role of anthropogenic methane (CH4) in global warming is exaggerated.
Study finds sinking tundra surface unlikely to trigger runaway permafrost thaw
“Improved drainage results in a drier landscape over a decadal timescale, and the process then becomes self-limiting,” said Scott Painter, who leads the Watershed Systems Modeling group at ORNL.
Now they’re coming for your garbage – NASA to track landfill methane emissions from space
From NASA JPL and the “looks like there will be a garbage limit in your future” department. NASA Sensors to Help Detect Methane Emitted by Landfills A nonprofit group, Carbon…
Methane: Much Ado About Nothing
Case closed. Nothing to see here. Move along. Only idiots would get hung up on such a minuscule effect that we can’t change anyway.
3 Myths Debunked: Animal Agriculture’s Real Impact on the Environment
As Dr Mitloehner explains, the global stock of methane in the atmosphere will not increase unless herds increase around the world.
Column: Why Spend a Trillion if You Don’t Have to? Hydrogen the Smart Way
This is very exciting stuff. It’s real, the technology works, and it could be a massive boost towards emissions reduction – and it might create a whole new industry. Or…
Munich Professor: Role of Methane from Cows on Climate Exaggerated by A Factor Of 3 To 4!
The impact of ruminants on climate has been overestimated by a factor of 3 to 4, according to Prof. Dr. Dr. habil Wilhelm Windisch of the Technical University of Munich.
Climate Madness: Prince Charles Backs Face Masks For Cows In Bid To Tackle Climate Change
From Climate Depot A special kind of stupid: WEF leader promoting cow masks. Screenshot from YouTube # Newsweek: Prince Charles Mocked For Backing ‘Crazy’ Climate Change Face Mask For Cows Reality…
Fjords Emit as much Methane as All the Deep Oceans Globally
But these storm events also result in a spike in methane emissions from fjords to the atmosphere.
John Kerry vs. Natural Gas
John Kerry, President Joe Biden’s climate envoy, is the latest government official to deliver conflicting messages about energy.
Can Australian Green Hydrogen Replace Russian Gas?
It seems like we will need an awful lot of solar panels, simply to replace a tiny amount of gas!
Fractions, Methane and Significance, It’s the Numbers Stupid
Grasping the relative size and importance of very small fractions can be challenging. Discussing parts per million or percentages with several zeros can become meaningless. Sometimes analogies are helpful.
Gas Stove Alarmism Fails
Hopefully, journalists, we can all agree that the next time a study makes a claim about how gas appliances are supposedly harmful to your health, an appropriate level of scrutiny…
Just What Is CH For?
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach Well, it seems like climate alarmists have noticed that all their hysterical screeching about carbon dioxide (CO2) isn’t having the desired effect. So they’re turning…
Methane Causes Half Of Global Warming–IPCC
An IPCC study last year suggested that 30-50% of the current rise in temperatures is down to methane.
Natural feedback or human activities? A new study points to agricultural and industrial sources as the main cause to the soaring atmospheric methane
“Good news is the natural feedback is still not that strong. But without substantial mitigation actions, we will lose the opportunity to control methane as we will have no solution…
NASA at Your Table: Where Food Meets Methane
In addition to the human sources, methane is also produced in natural settings. The greatest natural source of methane is wetlands, which contribute 30% of global methane emissions. Other natural sources…
In the deep sea, the last ice age is not yet over
Cruise leader Gerhard Bohrmann summarizes: “At the end of the SUGAR-3 programme, the drilling campaign with MeBo200 in the Black Sea showed us once again very clearly how quickly the…
The moon controls the release of methane in Arctic Ocean
It may not be very well known, but the Arctic Ocean leaks enormous amounts of the potent greenhouse gas methane. These leaks have been ongoing for thousands of years but…
Microbes might be gatekeepers of the planet’s greatest greenhouse gas reserves
Massive greenhouse gas reserves, frozen deep under the seabed, are alarmingly now starting to thaw. That’s according to an international team of scientists whose preliminary findings were recently reported in…
Study Calls for Ban on Gas Appliances, Misleads Californians
But the study, Effects of Residential Gas Appliances on Indoor and Outdoor Air Quality and Public Health in California, lacks accuracy and perspective, as discussed in my paper criticizing the…
Alaska is getting wetter. That’s bad news for permafrost and the climate
Alaska is getting wetter. A new study spells out what that means for the permafrost that underlies about 85% of the state, and the consequences for Earth’s global climate.
Reducing Cows´ Methane Emissions
That’s why we’re working to change our cows’ diet and help fight climate change.
