This mid-sized moon is pretty unique in that its atmosphere has been found to consist of a large portion of the hydrocarbon propane; that’s the same gas used to power your bar-b-que, but can also be used in natural gas converted vehicles for transportation. (Read more...)

A growing shift in attitudes away from irrigated farming practices is being driven by recent draughts in California. The outcome of these forced experiments in water shortages may be vital information for farmers the world over as climate change is expected to lead to increasing draughts. (Read more...)

This research allows us to accurately project into the future an absolute quantity of CO2 that must be restricted if global warming is to be mitigated. In order to limit global warming to 2 degrees C, we must not release more than one trillion tonnes of carbon dioxide, period. (Read more...)

The root of the hypothesis tested was that an increase in solar activity reduces cloudiness by changing cosmic rays. Fewer clouds mean more sunlight absorbed by the earth and global temperatures increase. Additionally this hypothesis supposes that man-made global warming is false, or at least confounded by solar cycles. (Read more...)
