While floating solar—the emerging practice of putting solar panels on bodies of water—is promising in its efficiency and its potential to spare agricultural and conservation lands, a new experiment finds environmental trade-offs.

By Gabriella Sotelo for Sentient. Broadcast version by Judith Ruiz-Branch for Illinois News Connection reporting for the Sentient-Public News Service Collaboration Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from agriculture are not only coming from soil.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission wrote in its decision that the agency's current process of considering emissions impacts as individual projects

Cornell researchers have discovered a way for ammonia oxidizing archaea (AOA), one of the most abundant types of microorganisms on Earth, to produce nitrous oxide, a potent and long-lasting greenhouse gas.

Bloomington-Normal nonprofits worry of an uncertain future now that the Trump administration tried to freeze federal grant funds. That order was halted on Tuesday, but remains tied up in the courts.

At a Senate committee hearing on Wednesday, Donald Trump’s nominee to run the Environmental Protection Agency, Lee Zeldin, acknowledged climate change is “real” and that greenhouse gasses are making the planet hotter—but stopped short of saying the agency must regulate them.

As the Earth absorbs more energy from the Sun and reflects less back into space, much of the excess heat is being funnelled into the oceans. This has caused the rise in sea surface temperature to jump from 0.06°C per decade in the 1980s to 0.27°C per decade now.

Eutelsat has announced that its near-term greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). T

While floating solar -- the emerging practice of putting solar panels on bodies of water -- is promising in its efficiency and its potential to spare agricultural and conservation lands, a new experiment finds environmental trade-offs.

President-elect Trump is gearing up to support the oil and gas industry by directing agencies to unwind climate rules

According to Washington law, the state departments of Ecology and Commerce are required to report the state's total greenhouse gas emissions every two years.

The rapidly shrinking sea ice pack in Antarctic waters will likely recover if prompt action is taken to contain greenhouse gas emissions, according to a simulation by an acclaimed team of scientists.
