According to the results of a new study, it would appear that the amount of milk poured down kitchen sinks in the United Kingdom is responsible for the release of 100,000 tons of carbon dioxide in equivalent greenhouse gases.
Statistics indicate that nearly 360,000 tons of milk are wasted in the country every singl... |

Scientists from the Queensland University of Technology (QUT), in Australia, announce the creation of a new method for measuring the amounts of nitrous oxide (N2O) agriculture releases into the atmosphere. This gas is an extremely potent agent in sustaining and accelerating the greenhouse effect.
When analyzed over... |

Cosmic collisions and explosions taking place as far away as the other side of the galaxy could pose a significant risk to life here on Earth. This class of events has the potential to trigger the release of unfathomably-large amounts of radiations, which the magnetosphere will not be able to deflect.
Usually, our... |

While carbon dioxide is undoubtedly the most renowned greenhouse gas, it's not by far the strongest. Nitrous oxide is a lot more efficient at heating up the atmosphere, and now experts determined that rivers produce three times more of the stuff than originally thought.According to the new investigation, the est... |

After wastes leave homes and businesses, they head over to treatment plants, where they are processed so that they don't contaminate the environment. This is a very complex process, given that the wastes themselves are a very complex type of matter. There are several stages to the decontamination procedure, seve... |

Among the most important sources of nitrous oxide (N2O) today, forests and intensely-managed farmlands take the top. They emit huge quantities of the gas, which doesn't make people laugh, but rather cry, on account of the fact that it's one of the most dangerous greenhouse gases being emitted globally. Over... |

Most nitrogen pollutants released by humans into the Earth's atmosphere end up in the ocean, where they act as fertilizers and increase the production of marine plant life. This in turn determines a high absorption of carbon dioxide into oceanic sinkhole, according to a study carried out by Robert Duce, Atmosphe... |
