A Nature study finds there’s very little risk that global warming would lead to more methane escaping from the oceans into the atmosphere.

... there's no virtue in signing a pledge to curtail food production, and potentially starve millions, to combat a hypothetical climate catastrophe.

Will the nutrition authority continue to issue certifications to canteens that offer meat beyond the recommended quota?

The proposed wholesale shift to unwanted technology without proper accounting of costs will be under intense scrutiny this year. 

Every aspect of modern society is untenable due to our ‘climate crisis.’ 

"20 percent of New York City’s greenhouse gas emissions come from household food"

No surprise there, as gas has steadily been replacing coal in the electricity mix.

The role of anthropogenic methane (CH4) in global warming is exaggerated. 

“Improved drainage results in a drier landscape over a decadal timescale, and the process then becomes self-limiting,” said Scott Painter, who leads the Watershed Systems Modeling group at ORNL.

From NASA JPL and the “looks like there will be a garbage limit in your future” department. NASA Sensors to Help Detect Methane Emitted by Landfills A nonprofit group, Carbon…

Case closed. Nothing to see here. Move along. Only idiots would get hung up on such a minuscule effect that we can’t change anyway.

As Dr Mitloehner explains, the global stock of methane in the atmosphere will not increase unless herds increase around the world.

Sudden mid September cold snap forces Germans to turn on the heat early…consume 14.5% more gas than previous years…”wettest September since 2001″…gas shortage in winter “difficult to avoid”

This is very exciting stuff. It’s real, the technology works, and it could be a massive boost towards emissions reduction – and it might create a whole new industry. Or industries.

Restoring coastal vegetation – so called ‘blue carbon’ habitats – may not be the nature-based climate solution it is claimed to be, according to a new study.
