(Natural News) An international team of researchers has found further evidence that volcanic eruptions were responsible for the largest mass extinction event in history. In a study published in the journal Geology, the researchers detailed their discovery of coronene, a type of hydrocarbon that can be produced by an intense volcanic eruption, in sedimentary rocks. Link of coronene to […]

(Natural News) American and Brazilian researchers evaluated the possibility of elevated carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations reducing the negative effect of drought on physiological parameters and the growth of Manihot esculenta (cassava). They reported their findings in an article published in the journal Archives of Agronomy and Soil Science. The researchers grew cassava with 390 ppm or 750 ppm […]

(Natural News) European researchers have developed an improved diesel engine that’s more eco-friendly and efficient than current models, paving the way for greener and fuel-efficient vehicles. During a project meeting held in Austria, the researchers said that the new engine uses less fuel and emits 80 percent fewer contaminating particles than the current legal limits. Developing eco-friendly, efficient diesel engine The DiePeR […]

(Natural News) A recent study published in the journal Science Advances suggests that water may have emerged naturally on rocky planets instead of originating from asteroids or comets. Researchers from France, Denmark and Japan studied a meteorite from Mars nearly as old as the solar system. Based on the rock fragments that constitute the meteorite, the researchers found […]

(Natural News) Like many liberal policies, so-called “green” policies aimed at reducing carbon dioxide emissions are full of contradictions and poor reasoning – not to mention the fact that their stated goal does not have the best interests of the planet at heart. Scientist Charles Rotter takes issue with the fact that burning biomass is […]

(Natural News) Researchers from Japan and China have developed a new material that can suck carbon dioxide out of the air and convert it into organic matter. The material works as a “molecular” sieve and selectively captures carbon dioxide molecules As reported in a paper published in the journal Nature Communications, carbon dioxide that’s caught in the material can be transformed into an […]

(Natural News) Rising temperatures have turned the Arctic tundra greener, says a recent study from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Tundra, which comes from a Finnish word meaning “treeless plain,” is the coldest of all land biomes. The region is characterized by limited biodiversity, short growing seasons and frost-molded landscapes low in nutrients. For those reasons, only a […]

(Natural News) A temperature reading from nearly three decades ago is now recognized as the lowest recorded temperature in the Northern Hemisphere. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO), the climate-related wing of the United Nations, confirmed the new record of -93.3 F, which was logged in Greenland on Dec. 22, 1991. The reading was only acknowledged decades later thanks to a group of […]

(Natural News) Researchers and scientists toying with the idea of terraforming Mars are better off using their expertise to help heal the Earth instead. This is according to conceptual artist Jonathon Keats, who, in a statement, said that “re-wilding” – the act of letting other life forms such as plants and animals take back their […]

(Natural News) The Earth’s oceans could be soaking up double the amount of carbon dioxide that current climate models have predicted. In a major breakthrough, English and German researchers found a higher net flux of carbon into the oceans than previous estimates after accounting for small differences in surface and near-surface ocean temperatures. The researchers think […]
