While floating solar—the emerging practice of putting solar panels on bodies of water—is promising in its efficiency and its potential to spare agricultural and conservation lands, a new experiment finds environmental trade-offs.

By Gabriella Sotelo for Sentient. Broadcast version by Judith Ruiz-Branch for Illinois News Connection reporting for the Sentient-Public News Service Collaboration Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from agriculture are not only coming from soil.

As one of her first moves in office, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham in 2019 signed an executive order seeking to curb greenhouse gas emissions in New Mexico.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission wrote in its decision that the agency's current process of considering emissions impacts as individual projects

Cornell researchers have discovered a way for ammonia oxidizing archaea (AOA), one of the most abundant types of microorganisms on Earth, to produce nitrous oxide, a potent and long-lasting greenhouse gas.

As the Earth absorbs more energy from the Sun and reflects less back into space, much of the excess heat is being funnelled into the oceans. This has caused the rise in sea surface temperature to jump from 0.06°C per decade in the 1980s to 0.27°C per decade now.

At a Senate committee hearing on Wednesday, Donald Trump’s nominee to run the Environmental Protection Agency, Lee Zeldin, acknowledged climate change is “real” and that greenhouse gasses are making the planet hotter—but stopped short of saying the agency must regulate them.

Eutelsat has announced that its near-term greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). T

While floating solar -- the emerging practice of putting solar panels on bodies of water -- is promising in its efficiency and its potential to spare agricultural and conservation lands, a new experiment finds environmental trade-offs.

A widely shared Facebook post combines misleading figures and calculations to suggest the UK’s contribution to climate change through carbon dioxide (CO2) and “cow farts” is negligible.

According to Washington law, the state departments of Ecology and Commerce are required to report the state's total greenhouse gas emissions every two years.

The rapidly shrinking sea ice pack in Antarctic waters will likely recover if prompt action is taken to contain greenhouse gas emissions, according to a simulation by an acclaimed team of scientists.
