With much of the climate conversation centered around cutting carbon dioxide, less attention is paid to a more potent, less common and sometimes smellier greenhouse gas: methane.
Methane leaks are the focus of new efforts to slow the pace of global warming. The colourless and odourless gas is an astonishing 84 times more potent in heating our atmosphere than carbon dioxide over a 20 year period.
An expert on oil and gas wells in southwestern Ontario who presented at a national conference outlines the issues with abandoned wells in the wake of an explosion in Wheatley, Ont., that sent seven people to hospital.
It's a partial victory for residents who have been opposing the C4GT power plants and other new natural gas infrastructure in the rural county for years.
Fifty-five million years ago, Earth’s thermostat shot up—and life dramatically changed. Here’s what history can teach us about our modern temperature surge.
Although climate change discussions focus mostly on carbon dioxide – the most important greenhouse gas by far – one of the big takeaways from the IPCC report is that to have any hope of staying below 1.5°C of heating we urgently need to cut methane emissions.
Currently, hydrogen fuel is made from natural gas. But even the cleanest process produces more greenhouse pollution than simply burning the gas, a study has found.
The manufacturing plant responsible for PFAS-coated fast food packaging pumps out loads of a banned ozone-depleting compound along with "forever chemicals."
"We already know enough about the harm being caused by these very persistent substances to take action to stop all non-essential uses and to limit exposure from legacy contamination."
The chemicals, linked to health problems including cancer and thyroid disease, have contaminated drinking water in Pittsburgh communities like Coraopolis and McKeesport.
