The controversy between the climate and energy researchers has been fuelled by the recent studies which suggest the fact that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has seriously underestimated the challenge and costs of stabilizing greenhouse-gas emissions in the 2...
However, rainfall projections for later in the century are more dependent on greenhouse gas emissions. Under a low emission scenario in 2070, "the best estimate of rainfall decrease is 7.5 per cent". Under a high emission scenario "the best estimate is a decrease of 10 per cent".
While much of the discussion about greenhouse gases has focused on carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide have even greater global warming potentials. One ton of methane has the global warming potential of 23 tons of CO2, and one ton of nitrous oxide has the global warming potential of...
Most scientists agree that climate change is largely due to human activity, mainly the increased use of fossil fuels. The main human influence on global climate is likely to be emissions of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane. At present, about 6.5 billion tonnes of CO...
The new report, Buildings and Climate Change: Status, Challenges and Opportunities, says many opportunities exist for governments, industry and consumers to take appropriate actions during the life span of buildings that will help mitigate the impacts of global warming.
The pastoralists who inhabit the dry lands of sub-Saharan Africa are among those who are already living with the effects of climate change. Pastoralists have been managing climate variability for millennia. However, the unprecedented rate and scale of human-induced climate change is...

Climate change is progressing at an alarming rate. If we continue on our current course, our children and probably even we will see ice-free Antarctica and North Pole. What can you do? Drive less, walk more. Reduce your carbon footprint.
WASHINGTON - Even if the world can cap carbon dioxide emissions tied to global warming, expect to see droughts and sea level rise that span centuries, not just decades, according to a new study sponsored by the U.S. government. People have imagined that if we stopped emitting carbon dioxide...
First the bad news: If you buy energy from a conventional energy source then the climate change levy (CCL) will mean that you will have to pay the new CCL tax. All UK businesses and public sector organisations will pay the CCL tax on their energy consumption!! How much can you save?
