Global Warming Fix? Carbon Dioxide Captured Directly From Air With Simple Machine  An energy and environmental system expert has shown it is possible to reduce carbon dioxide -- the main greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming -- using a relatively simple machine that can capture the trace amount of carbon dioxide present in the air at any place on the planet. The technology could dramatically reduce emissions from transportation. Direct Link Email This Article

APPROACH FOR ESTIMATING GLOBAL LANDFILL METHANE EMISSIONS  The report is an overview of available country-specific data and modeling approaches for estimating global landfill methane. Current estimates of global landfill methane indicate that landfills account for between 4 and 15% of the global methane budget. The report describes an approach for using country-specific and field test data to develop a less uncertain estimate of global landfill methane. Development of enhanced emissions factors for landfills and other major sources of methane will improve the understanding of atmospheric chemistry and feedback effects, will target mitigation opportunities, and will ensure cost-effective mitigation strategies. PA's program to characterize the effects of global change, including identifying and quantifying emission sources, responds to concerns about global warming and is particularly concerned with quantifying emissions sources both in the U.S. and globally.
