#Efforts to curb climate change require greater emphasis on livestockwhile climate change negotiators struggle to agree on ways to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions they have paid inadequate attention to other greenhouse gases associated with livestock according to an analysis
A reduction in non-CO2 greenhouse gases will be required to abate climate change the researchers said.
Cutting releases of methane and nitrous oxide two gases that pound-for-pound trap more heat than does CO2 should be considered alongside the challenge of reducing fossil fuel use.

The Kyoto Protocol for example does not target ruminant emissions from developing countries which are among the fastest-growing ruminant producers.
and nature and that it is imperative to tackle the drivers of climate change namely greenhouse gases.
One way to slow climate change is to increase the number of trees On earth as they through photosynthesis take up the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide converting it to carbon products
and the amount of greenhouse gases they produce. The study produced by scientists at the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO)
Greenhouse gas emissionsscientists also sought to calculate the amount of greenhouse gases livestock are releasing into the atmosphere
They modelled only the emissions linked directly to animals--the gases released through their digestion and manure production.
and the amount of greenhouse gases released for every kilo of protein produced something known as emission intensity.
and environmental risks notably greenhouse gases produced by the energy and transport services needed for industrial livestock production
For example the low livestock feed efficiencies and high greenhouse gas emission intensities in Sub-saharan africa are determined largely by the fact that most animals in this region continue to subsist largely on vegetation inedible by humans especially by grazing on marginal lands

#New method gives accurate picture of gas storage by microscopic cagesa computational method to quantify the adsorption of gas by porous zeolites should help labs know what to expect before they embark upon slow costly experiments according to researchers at Rice university.
The new method created by engineers in Rice's Multiscale Materials Modeling Lab accurately calculated the ability of two zeolites small cage-like molecules with enormous surface area to trap and store gas molecules.
The zeolites'enormous surface area inside and out gives gas molecules plenty of room to bind.
and synthesizing them we can help them rapidly screen the gas uptake for each particular ZIF at various temperatures and pressures.
Shahsavari said the researchers modeled the interactions between molecules of the three gases with each other and with the binding ligands in the zeolites at 77 and 300 kelvins(-321 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit respectively) and at various pressures.
For hydrogen they determined that both zeolites stored about three times as much gas at 77 K
They were also able to calculate both subtle and significant differences between the adsorptive qualities based on various input parameters of gas pressure temperature and type of zeolite.
First the team performed first-principle calculations to describe the very weak atomic interactions--the Van der waals-related London dispersion forces--among each of the three types of gas molecules and the two ZIFS.
Those were plugged into large-scale Monte carlo simulations to predict how much of each gas each porous zeolite could adsorb.
but calculating integrative forces between thousands of gas molecules and each ZIF was not. It took the combined power of Rice's DAVINCI
Shahsavari said the method should also be good for analyzing the potential for zeolites as membranes to separate gases.
but also gas mixtures he said. This provides a good computational framework so one can do rapid screening for the desired properties.
This later star-forming phase could have been caused by minor mergers with gas-rich neighbors which provide the fuel for new stars.
and greenhouse gases extending as far back as 1. 5 million years almost twice as old as the oldest ice core drilled to date.
By studying the past climate scientists can understand better how temperature responds to changes in greenhouse-gas concentrations in the atmosphere.
A 3. 2-km-long ice core drilled almost a decade ago at Dome Concordia (Dome C) in Antarctica revealed 800000 years of climate history showing that greenhouse gases
Climate scientists suspect greenhouse gases played a role in forcing this transition but they need to drill into the ice to confirm their suspicions.
The information on greenhouse-gas concentrations at that time can only be gained from an Antarctic ice core covering the last 1. 5 million years.
Activities associated with agriculture are currently responsible for just under one third of greenhouse gas emissions;
Even under future scenarios in which atmospheric greenhouse gases rise dramatically the models project the dry season in the southern Amazon to be only a few to 10 days longer by the end of the century
Greenhouse gas balances depend on utilisation formsit can thus be said that straw can contribute to the future energy mix.
The degree to which it will contribute to greenhouse gas reduction however will depend on how the straw is used.
The different greenhouse gas balances cast a differentiated light on the EU's goal of covering ten percent of transportation sector's energy use by using biofuels.

Because gas molecules cannot penetrate GNRS they are faced with a tortuous path to freedom he said.
The researchers acknowledged that a solid two-dimensional sheet of graphene might be the perfect barrier to gas
But the overlapping 200-to 300-nanometer-wide ribbons dispersed so well that they were nearly as effective as large-sheet graphene in containing gas molecules.

#Chinas synthetic gas plants would be powered greenhouse giantscoal synthetic natural gas plants being planned in China would produce seven times more greenhouse gas emissions than conventional natural gas plants
if the gas produced by the new plants is used to generate electricity the total lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions would be 36 percent to 82 percent higher than pulverized coal-fired power.
If the synthetic natural gas made by the plants were used to fuel vehicles the lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions would be twice as large as from gasoline-fueled vehicles.
The increased carbon dioxide emissions from the nine government-approved plants alone will more than cancel out all of the reductions in greenhouse gas emissions from China's recent investments in wind
Producing synthetic natural gas requires 50 to 100 times the amount of water you need to produce shale gas Yang said.
It will lock in high greenhouse gas emissions water use and mercury pollution for decades. Perhaps there's still time to stop it.
