- Methane Production Can Make Local Landfills ProfitableMethane gas is one of the major local sources of alternative energy. Landfills are principal sources of this gas for many local uses such as power for vehicles and buildings along with carbon credits.
- Scientists Have Discovered a New Method to Transform Natural Gas into Useful MaterialsScientists in Valencia have developed a new method of using methane to build up larger, more complex molecules. This is unusual because under normal conditions, methane is (chemically) very unreactive.
Diet Change Reduces Cow Farts, Study ShowsCow farts are no joke. Methane emissions make up a small, but significant percentage of greenhouse gases. A new study shows that a better diet will reduce livestock gas.
Methane: The Little-Used Fuel Product of Sewage Treatment PlantsWhile some people burn animal droppings for cooking and heat, it's a lesser-known fact that human poop may do just as well or even better.- The Carbon-Neutral MythOne of the biggest myths being promulgated by opportunistic scientists, politicians and the drive-by media is the idea that alternative energy will somehow reduce the amount of greenhouse material emitted by "evil humans"...
BP Nuclear Option Spells Mega-Disaster for Gulf of MexicoThere has been much speculation lately about a nuclear device being planned for closing in the BP Macondo Well in the Gulf of Mexico. The consequences of exercising this option go well beyond killing the Gulf of Mexico...- The End of FloridaBP was warned, BP ignored, now we pay the price.
Methane Gas Explosion in the Gulf Could Kill MillionsBP found more than they bargained for in the Gulf - a mega pocket of highly pressurized methane gas. Now, millions of lives may be at risk from a deadly methane eruption.- Increasing Concern Over Potential Methane Gas Explosion and Tsunami at BP Oil Spill SiteThe damage to wildlife, ecosystems, and loss of human life caused by the massive BP oil spill are already bad enough. Now scientists are worried about other catastrophes, including a potential massive methane gas explosion.

- Climate Change is NOT CAUSED by Man Made CO2The data speaks for itself and everyone ignores it.
- Is Methane on Mars Evidence of Life?Scientists have discovered a small amount of methane on Mars. The debate whether the source is geological or biological is still on-going. This is my view as to why I feel it is more likely to be biological.
Top Ten Ways to Reduce Methane Greenhouse Gasses Caused by HumansMethane gas creates more of a greenhouse effect than carbon dioxide, yet humans continue to pass gas. Here's what we should do.- Cow Farts and the Ozone LayerAll of the methane that is escaping from agriculture and biological waste is fuel we are essentially throwing away. Methane is a great fuel, and burning it is actually good for the atmosphere, even though CO2 is created in the process.
- The Methane GunTwo ways the cooling of the Earth caused by the The Azolla Event could be reversed are outlined.
- The Azolla EventThe part that Azolla played in changing the climate of the Earth is described
- NASA: Greenhouse Gas Methane RisingA report from NASA on Wednesday shows that greenhouse gas methane is on the on the rise again. Despite of all global awareness and initiatives, we have still not been able to stand-up together to lessen Greenhouse gas emission into Earth's atmosphere.
Eight Things You Didn't Know About MethaneMethane is making the news a lot lately, in both a good and a bad way: it's a dangerous greenhouse gas, but also a source of energy.- Ocean Methane Release: Another Deadly Effect of Global WarmingAlthough the Earth's waters are a wondrous sight, underneath that beauty are millions upon millions of tons of methane that is waiting for the slightest bit of temperature change to release itself into our atmosphere and contribute to global warming.
- Coal Bed Methane: Pros and Cons of This Energy FormNatural gas is a valuable source of energy and can be produced through a couple of methods. The most recently developed method for the recovery of natural gas is through coal bed methane production.
- The Effect of Feedback Loops on Climate ChangeConventional models of climate change are built on two gross oversimplifications: that the environment is a passive carbon sink, and that increased carbon dioxide levels are the sole cause of climate change. In reality, the environment relies on a myriad of feedback loops...
- Poop Power: The Energy Emitted from ExcrementInside the fecal matter of all living animals may be untapped power. How much energy depends on several things such as the type of animal and the food it eats.
- Study Ties Methane Spike to Melting Ice Age PermafrostA multi-institution study finds that much of the methane to enter the atmosphere suddenly at the end of the last ice age might have come from arctic lakes created as permafrost melted.
- Oil, Gas Companies Recognized for Reducing EmissionsOil and natural gas companies have been recognized by the EPA for their work reducing methane emissions. The Natural Gas Star Program is a voluntary program and began in 1993.
Cows Get Blamed Again for Global WarmingA study in Germany indicates the practice of allowing cows onto pastures during winter encourages the growth of methane-emitting microorganisms in the soil- Ethanol Part 4: Making Money and Producing Methane from Alcohol Fuel ResidueMaking alcohol for fuel is only the first step. You can make money from the residue.
- European Commission Joins Bush's Methane to Markets PartnershipThe EPA announced that the European Commission has joined the US's Methane to Markets Partnership. The initiative promotes the reduction of methane, which is more potent a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide.
- Important Facts About Methane, Emissions Trading and Global WarmingOne of the elements of our environment that produces the so called climate change in a stronger way is a greenhouse gas called methane.
Methane May Take Us Where No Man Has Ever Gone BeforeMethane has never been used to power a rocket in outer-space before. Now, however, NASA is working on rockets that may be able to carry space exploration further.- Methane Rockets: Opening the Solar System for ExplorationMost rocket engines that fly in space either are liquid fueled, using liquid oxygen and either hydrogen or kerosene or else solid fuels. Now a new type of rocket engine, using methane and liquid oxygen as a fuel, is being tested for deep space vehicles.
- Global Warming, Carbon Dioxide, and MethaneGlobal warming--amidst all the hype, here are some actual facts to digest. Carbon dioxide is not the real issue here.
- Transcend the Toxically Emotional and the Reflexively IdeologicalClimate change is in the air. The climate of planetary goddess Gaia, and the climate of human minds and emotions, too, as it relates to tensions over the fact of our changing weather trends.
