12-06-19 The ancient reserves of methane（甲烷） gas seeping from the melting Arctic ice cap told Jeff Chanton and fellow researchers what they already knew: As the permafrost（永久冻土） thaws, there is a release of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas that c...

12-05-08 Sauropod（蜥脚类动物） dinosaurs could in principle have produced enough of the greenhouse gas methane to warm the climate many millions of years ago, at a time when Earth was warm and wet. That's according to calculations reported in the May 8th is...

11-12-01 Scientists in the New York Center for Astrobiology（天体生物学） at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have used the oldest minerals on Earth to reconstruct the atmospheric conditions present on Earth very soon after its birth. The findings, which app...

11-03-02 Methane（甲烷） is an extremely potent（有效的） greenhouse gas. Wetlands, gas hydrates, permafrost（永久冻土） , termites（白蚁类） , oceans, freshwater bodies, non-wetland soils, are all natural sources of atmospheric methane; however, the majorit...

11-01-07 An international team of scientists has released data indicating that greenhouse gas uptake（摄取，领会） by continents is less than previously thought because of methane emissions from freshwater areas. John Downing, an Iowa State University profes...

11-01-07 Calling the results extremely surprising, researchers from the University of California, Santa Barbara and Texas AM University report that methane（甲烷，沼气） gas concentrations in the Gulf of Mexico have returned to near normal levels only months...

09-12-20 Feeding garlic and oats to belching cows could be the answer to slash global warming. 给母牛喂食大蒜和燕麦可以减少其打嗝，这或许会成为抑制全球变暖的一个新途径。 Feeding cows garlic could get them to emit significantly less methane. Welsh farmers wil...

09-12-09 Scientists have ruled out the possibility that排除可能性 methane甲烷 is delivered to Mars by meteorites陨星 , raising fresh hopes that the gas might be generated by life on the red planet, in research published tomorrow (Wednesday 9 December 2009) i...

09-08-19 Scientists say they have evidence that the powerful greenhouse gas methane is escaping from the Arctic sea bed. 科学家发现温室效应气体甲烷总北极海岩床渗出的证据。 Methane bubbles observed by sonar, escape from sea bed as temperatures rise Researcher...

09-08-06 Methane on Mars is produced and destroyed far faster than on Earth, according to analysis of recent data. 最近的统计数据显示，火星上的甲烷产生和消亡比地球上的快多了。 The Martian surface is very hostile to organics say scientists Scientists in Paris...
