14-12-10 Off the West Coast of the United States, methane gas is trapped in frozen layers below the seafloor. New research from the University of Washington shows that water at intermediate depths is warming enough to cause these carbon deposits to melt, rel...

14-07-23 Eating meat contributes to climate change, due to greenhouse gasses emitted by livestock. New research finds that livestock emissions are on the rise and that beef cattle are responsible for far more greenhouse gas emissions than other types of anim...

14-02-15 The first thorough comparison of evidence for natural gas system leaks confirms that organizations including the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have underestimated U.S. methane emissions generally, as well as those from the natural gas indust...

13-11-26 The seafloor off the coast of Northern Siberia is releasing more than twice the amount of methane（甲烷） as previously estimated, according to new research results published in the Nov. 24 edition of the journal Nature Geoscience. The East Siberian...

13-08-01 With the green reputation of large hydroelectric dams already in question, scientists are reporting that millions of smaller dams on rivers around the world make an important contribution to the greenhouse gases linked to global climate change. Thei...

13-04-17 Scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and UC Berkeley and have discovered new materials to capture methane, the second highest concentration greenhouse gas emitted into the atmosphere. Methane is a substantial（大量的） driver...

13-03-24 Japan said Tuesday it had successfully extracted methane hydrate, known as fire ice, from its seabed, possibly unlocking many years' worth of gas for the resource-starved country. 日本周二宣布，已经成功地从日本海底提取出甲烷水合物，俗称可燃冰，此举...

12-10-09 Emissions of the greenhouse gas methane（甲烷） into the atmosphere can be traced back thousands of years in the Greenland ice sheet. Using special analytical methods, researchers from the Niels Bohr Institute, among others, have determined how much...

12-08-30 The Antarctic Ice Sheet could be an overlooked but important source of methane（甲烷） , a potent（有效的） greenhouse gas, according to a report in the August 30 issue of Nature by an international team of scientists. The new study demonstrates tha...

12-08-08 Diseased trees in forests may be a significant new source of methane（甲烷） that causes climate change, according to researchers at the Yale School of Forestry Environmental Studies in Geophysical Research Letters. Sixty trees sampled at Yale Myers...
