Changes in Earth’s climate are consistent with an increase in heat-trapping greenhouse gases due to human activities, including burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and land-use changes. This warming phenomenon has its source in human activities like burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). Increased concentrations of these gases are also contributing […]

While there are many sources of methane, it is the oil and gas industry that is responsible for the largest proportion of these emissions. The study focused on ultra-emitters, those that release at least 25 metric tons per hour and account for up to 12% of oil and gas industry emissions. The researchers found that […]
Methane is a greenhouse gas that is found in the atmosphere and contributes to global warming. It has been identified as a potential contributor to climate change, but its true scope is unclear. Methane is a natural gas that is produced from the combustion of fossil fuels, such as oil and coal. This gas is […]
You can cut down air pollution by reducing energy consumption and by switching to other forms of energy, such as natural gas or hydrofluorocarbons. By using public transportation, you can reduce the amount of energy you need and also cut emissions of ozone-depleting substances. You can also make a lifestyle change and reduce the number […]
