ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) — As the sun sets in the Nigerian capital of Abuja, Ahmed Bukar turns on his home air conditioner for a blast of warm air. The charge valve on the outdoor unit is leaking the refrigerant gas that powers the unit. A technician recently helped him refill the air conditioner with gas, … Read more

NASA JPL team hopes to give greenhouse gas monitoring satellite ‘unprecedented’ vision

by

It was almost 10 years ago that Andrew Thorpe received a text message from the crew flying over the ship in a small plane: they had discovered a new methane hotbed. Thorpe drove a clumsy rental car over winding dirt roads and mountain roads near the Four Corners region of the southwestern United States. When … Read more

Scientists want to pump carbon into a hole at the bottom of the ocean in a $60 million pilot project to help stop climate change

by

Scientists want $60 million to try to capture carbon dioxide from the seabed off the coast of Canada. They say reactive basalt rock across the planet could turn CO2 into rock at the bottom of the ocean. Offshore factories to capture carbon emissions could help fight climate change in the future – at a high … Read more

Rocky, carbon-rich exoplanets are more likely to orbit small stars, James Webb Space Telescope reveals

by

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered the richest ‘menu’ of hydrocarbons ever seen in a planet-forming disk. This observation, which involved the protoplanetary disk around a small star, also revealed the first detection of ethane outside the Solar System. The discovery was made when the James Webb Space Telescope’s (JWST) Mid-Infrared Instrument … Read more

Scientists use an “internet of the ocean”, with sensors and cars that can explore the deep marinas and constantly monitor their vital livelihoods

More climate-warming methane is leaking into the atmosphere than ever reported – here’s how satellites can track the leaks and prevent a valuable resource from being wasted

by

Far more methane, a potent greenhouse gas, is being released from landfills and oil and gas operations around the world than governments realized, recent aerial and satellite surveys show. That is both a problem for the climate and for human health. It’s also why the U.S. government has tightened regulations on methane leaks and wasteful … Read more
