A NASA / JPL study published in the journal Environmental Science and Technology found that the potent greenhouse gas methane is leaking from the Permian Basin oilfield, located in Texas and New Mexico. Sensor-equipped aircraft probed the atmosphere over the region for a month, and identified 123 hot spots – leaking 55 tons (50 metric…
A new study be the University of Manitoba, finds that for every degree of global warming, the open water period in the Arctic will increase by roughly one month. The study, Arctic open-water periods are projected to lengthen dramatically by 2100 – published in the Nature journal Communications Earth & Environment, notes: The shrinking of Arctic-wide…
