For all the damage that humanity is causing through our production of greenhouse gases, the numbers involved can seem impossibly slight. Every year, we release about 9.6 billion tonnes of carbon ...

Scientists have discovered that the icy shell of Saturn's largest moon, Titan, could possess an insulated, six-mile-thick (9.7-kilometer-thick) layer of methane ice beneath its surface.

Wright, with the Railroad Commission, testified that the methane testing equipment required by Interior as part of the formula funding is 100 times more sensitive than those required under the Inf ...

The Supreme Court recently declined to suspend new environmental rules requiring oil and gas operations to cut their methane emissions, allowing the rules to move forward while challenges play out ...

The LNP was asked if it could detail its emissions-reductions strategies, methane policy, or how it would replace Pioneer-Burdekin. We did not receive a response. Queensland Conservation Council ...
