Global Warming Research
| Title | Date | |
|---|---|---|
| Melting glaciers are releasing dangerous chemicals (research) | As glaciers in the Arctic melt, they are releasing persistent organic pollutants (POPs), including DDT, into the oceans. | May 22, 2008 |
| High fuel prices could slash greenhouse gas emissions | It looks like spiraling gasoline prices (and record profits for oil companies) will do for the United States what gas tax has done in Europe: create strong incentive for drivers to drive less, abandon fuel-inefficient vehicles and think creatively about transportation in the post-oil economy. | May 15, 2008 |
| World CO2 levels highest in 650,000 years | Atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide are at an all-time high, according to scientists at the Mauna Loa observatory on the island of Hawaii. | May 15, 2008 |
| Another climate change expert says carbon emission cutback requirements grossly underestimated | The man who set the baseline for the UK's carbon emission reduction goals now says those levels were grossly underestimated. Nicholas Stern, author of the Stern Review, says that not only are CO2 emission levels rising faster than expected but the earth's capacity to store carbon in sinks is also deteriorating faster than imagined | Apr 25, 2008 |
| Water stored in dams preventing sea levels from rising, study says | According to a recently published study, water stored in reservoirs behind dams worldwide has stemmed the tide of rising sea levels due to global warming. The research, conducted at National Central University in Taiwan, says that without the dams sea levels would have risen 1.2 inches more than they have, or 30 percent more, since 1930.

| Weeds of tomorrow Part II | Researcher sets his sites on perennial weeds after discovering annual weeds could give crops a serious run for their money if CO2 levels increase. | Apr 11, 2008 |
| Mitigating climate change through organic agriculture | Fighting greenhouse gas and lowering global energy use. Is there anything that organic agriculture can't do? | Mar 13, 2008 |
| Forest stewardship and ecological farming techniques keys to slowing global warming | Management practices we can implement now may offer more promise than technologies not yet fully developed. | Mar 12, 2008 |
