The paper is offering a mechanism to reduce emissions of methane due to rice cultivation.

Not exact matches

The findings are the first to note increased greenhouse gas emissions due to antibiotic use in cattle; a recent study suggests that methane emissions from cud - chewing livestock worldwide, including cows, account for about 4 % of the greenhouse gas emissions related to human activity.

He also models the global warming that would occur if concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere were to be doubled (due to increases in carbon dioxide and methane emissions from dragons and the excessive use of wildfire).

We've reduced those emissions by about 40 % since then despite growth in the coal sector, which, if we assume that reduction is all due to CMM programs, implies about 0.1 trillion cubic feet of methane, so not your «trillions» but not insignificant.

• The methanetrack.org website has shown significant increases in atmospheric methane concentrations over Antarctica this austral winter (which I believe are due to increases in methane emissions from the Southern Ocean seafloor due to increases in the temperature of bottom water temperatures), and if this trend continues, then the Southern Hemisphere could be a significant source of additional atmospheric methane (this century).

2011) of the present atmospheric methane burden by 2100, or a 50 % increase fifty years primarily due to increase emissions from marshlands and conventional anthropogenic sources.

The magnitude and timing of this emission scenario is unconstrained due to large uncertainties in estimating future rates of cryosphere degradation, hydrocarbon reservoir response, and potential methane oxidation.

There is good reason to believe that «terrestrial removal» could be begin to * reduce * in the future in response to rising temperatures — to note just two cases, conversion of rain forest to savannah in the Amazon, and radical methane emissions increases in the Arctic, due both of melting permafrost and to increasing microbial metabolism.

That finding means that belated proposals to cut methane emissions by 45 per cent are inadequate due to chronic underestimation of the real problem.

Both the Drawdown and Optimum Scenarios are more conservative in the growth of landfill methane due to the combination with other waste management solutions, with impacts on greenhouse gas emission reductions over 2020 - 2050 of 1.11 and 0.5 gigatons of carbon dioxide - equivalent, respectively.

About 1/2 of the methane emissions is preexisting, about 2 / 3rds is from «natural» sources including rice field and food animals (we can reduce this if we starve billions of people), and only about 19 % is due to fossil fuels.

Emissions of the greenhouse gas methane had several peaks in the last 2,100 years: during Roman times; and during the warm Middle Ages due to forest fires; in the little ice age.

The difference in the projections is due partly to lower emissions scenarios (less CO2, methane and CFCs in particular), and partly to the introduction of aerosols into the scenarios.

As I understand it, though, there has been an uptick in recent years, and before that stabilization may have been partly due to reduced emissions of methane (including natural gas leakage) from human activity.
