April Flowers for redOrbit.com - Your Universe Online A new mechanism to convert natural gas to energy up to 70 times faster than current methods has been identified by chemical engineering researchers. This new mechanism also effectively captures the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2). “This could make power generation from natural gas both cleaner and more efficient,” says Fanxing Li, assistant professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering at North Carolina State University....

Plumsteadville, PA (PRWEB) May 06, 2013 Scaletron Industries, Ltd., a manufacturer of corrosion resistant digital and mechanical scales, has expanded its line of gas cabinet scales with a larger version of the Model 2308 digital gas cabinet scale. Previously, the scale was offered in only one size,...
WASHINGTON, May 3, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A NASA-led modeling study provides new evidence that global warming may increase the risk for extreme rainfall and drought. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20081007/38461LOGO) The study shows for the first time how rising carbon dioxide concentrations could affect the entire range of rainfall types on Earth. Analysis of computer simulations from 14 climate models indicates wet regions of the world, such as the equatorial...
Dr. Benny Peiser of the UK Global Warming Policy Foundation reports that EU energy prices have skyrocketed, families have been forced into energy poverty; meanwhile the EU carbon market has collapsed with no evidence of healthier environment or ‘abundant’ green jobs, so European manufacturing is fleeing to places with cheaper energy prices in order to remain competitive. Dr. Peiser will be the guest luncheon speaker May 14, 2013 at the Met Centre in downtown Calgary, Alberta at the...
SINGAPORE, May 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Sindicatum Sustainable Resources' Group CEO Assaad W. Razzouk participated in a Carbon Market Reform private event in Washington, D.C. on 29 April 2013, at which a report jointly authored by the Center for American Progress and by Climate Advisers was released. Read the report. The report targets the prevailing opinion that the carbon markets, most notably the Clean Development Mechanism (or CDM) created by the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, have been...

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Like the Roman god Janus, methane presents Earth’s atmosphere with two situational faces. As the main component of natural gas, methane when burned as a fuel produces less carbon dioxide than the burning of oil or coal, which makes it a plus for global climate change. However, pure methane released into the atmosphere via leaks from unconventional oil and gas extraction, coal mining or from the melting of Arctic ice is an even more potent greenhouse...

Aquascaping is the art of arranging aquatic plants along with rocks, cavework, stones, or driftwood, in an aesthetically pleasing manner within an aquarium. Aquascape designs incorporate numerous distinctive styles. Usually, an aquascape houses fish as well as plants, although it’s possible to produce an aquascape with solely plants, or with rockwork or other hardscape and no plants. Even though the main goal of aquascaping is to construct an artful underwater landscape, the technical...
Ocean acidification is the name that was given to the ongoing decrease in the pH of Earth’s oceans, a cause of the uptake of anthropogenic carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. About 30 to 40 percent of the carbon dioxide that is released by humans into the atmosphere dissolves into the lakes, oceans, and rivers. To maintain the chemical equilibrium, some of it reacts with the water to create carbonic acid. Some of these extra carbonic acid molecules react with a water molecule to provide a...
Earth's Atmosphere -- Earth's atmosphere consists of nitrogen (78.1%) and oxygen (20.9%), with small amounts of argon (0.9%), carbon dioxide (variable, but around 0.035%), water vapor, and other gases. The atmosphere protects life on Earth by absorbing ultraviolet solar radiation and reducing temperature extremes between day and night. 75% of the atmosphere exists within 11km of the planetary surface. Temperature and the Atmospheric Layers The temperature of the Earth's atmosphere...
