Economic losses from hurricanes may become too big to be offset by the US if warming continues
Hurricane damages can increase due to increasing global temperatures, caused by greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels. Computer simulations of regional economic sectors and supply chains in the US now show that the resulting economic losses can.....»»
Net zero emissions: FUTEX outlines a sustainability vision
Environmental destruction and excessive use of fossil fuels have increased the average global temperature. The world is experiencing unusual but frequent El Nino and La Nina events, melting glaciers of the North and South poles. Even worse, droughts,.....»»
Africa sounds caution on net zero goal ahead of COP27
Africa needs time and money to wean itself off fossil fuels in order to achieve net zero without jeopardising its future, its representatives are warning ahead of next month's climate talks......»»
Delayed slow ocean response to carbon dioxide removal causes asymmetric tropical rainfall change
Using fossil fuels causes large amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) to be emitted, which is one of the major greenhouse gases responsible for global warming. The climate changes under increasing CO2 radiative forcing (called "CO2 ramp-up") have been wide.....»»
Shifting ocean currents are pushing more and more heat into the Southern Hemisphere"s cooler waters
The oceans absorb more than 90% of all extra heat trapped by the emissions we've produced by burning fossil fuels. This heat is enormous. It's as if we exploded an atom bomb underwater, every second of every day......»»
Inflation Reduction Act fuels South Korean uncertainty on Chip 4 membership
On her visit to South Korea, US vice president Kamala Harris vowed to work with the country to resolve the disputes surrounding the US Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). Signed into law last month, IRA lays out tax credits of up to US$7,500 for electric.....»»
What if carbon border taxes applied to all carbon, and fossil fuels, too?
The European Union is embarking on an experiment that will expand its climate policies to imports for the first time. It's called a carbon border adjustment, and it aims to level the playing field for the EU's domestic producers by taxing energy-inte.....»»
Health groups call for fossil fuel non-proliferation treaty
Around 200 health organizations and more than 1,400 health professionals on Wednesday called for governments to establish a binding international treaty on phasing out fossil fuels, which they said pose "a grave and escalating threat to human health".....»»
Single gold atoms catalyze the selective methanization of carbon dioxide
One step toward carbon dioxide (CO2) neutrality and the mitigation of both the greenhouse effect and the energy crisis would be to convert CO2 into hydrocarbon-based fuels like methane using light. In the journal Angewandte Chemie International Editi.....»»

New laser-based instrument designed to boost hydrogen research
Researchers have developed an analytical instrument that uses an ultrafast laser for precise temperature and concentration measurements of hydrogen. Their new approach could help advance the study of greener hydrogen-based fuels for use in spacecraft.....»»
In speech at Ford plant, Yellen will tout cutting dependence on fossil fuels
U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen will tour Ford's Rouge Electric Vehicle Center, where the company makes the electric F-150 Lightning pickup, before her speech at 2 p.m. EDT......»»
Researchers propose new strategy to enhance methane hydroxylation
Methane, mainly from natural gas, shale gas and methane hydrate, is one of the most economic fossil fuels. However, it remains a great challenge to realize the selective valorization of methane under mild conditions due to the inherently small polari.....»»
Organic matter accumulation in oxygenated lakes
When we burn fossil fuels, it not only produces carbon dioxide, a driver of climate change, but it also consumes the oxygen we breathe. However, the amount of oxygen in our atmosphere produced by plants is nearly balanced by the amount consumed by an.....»»
Opinion: Predicting the future of greenhouse gas emissions
With the U.S. federal government finally putting in place a major program to stimulate the decarbonization of our energy economy, news analysis has turned to the practical problems of the transition from fossil fuels. Some of us have been focused on.....»»
New study on coal phase-out fuels doubts about "commissionitis"
A novel research approach that analyzes political discourse through the automated text evaluation of comments on the social media platform Twitter is now providing insights into a fundamental question of climate policy: Does it help social peace if t.....»»
Catching up with quicksilver: MXene material can counter mercury contamination
Researchers estimate that mercury emissions in the atmosphere have quadrupled since the Industrial Revolution. The heavy metal, generated by burning fossil fuels and the disposal of industrial and medical waste, has become so persistent in aquatic en.....»»
Social media fuels abortion fears among young Australians
American social media content and the powerful U.S. pro-life lobby are fueling stigmatization perceptions among Australian young people who may wish to seek out and use safe abortion services, a national study has found......»»
Researchers fabricate cobalt copper catalysts for methane on metal-organic framework
The world is highly dependent on fossil fuels to power its industry and transportation. These fossil fuels lead to excessive carbon dioxide emission, which contributes to global warming and ocean acidification. One way to reduce this excessive carbon.....»»
Novel tech converts sunlight, water and carbon dioxide into acetate and oxygen for high-value fuels and chemicals
Scientists have created a novel technology that can help to tackle climate change and address the global energy crisis......»»
