Tiny particles known as black carbon can pack a heavy punch when it comes to climate change, by trapping heat in the atmosphere and by alighting atop, and melting, Arctic ice. With an eye toward controlling these emissions, researchers have tracked black carbon production from fossil fuel combustion in gasoline-burning cars and diesel-burning trucks. Once thought to be minor players, gasoline-burning engines could put out twice as much black carbon as was previously measured, according to new field methods (Environ. Sci. Technol., DOI: 10.1021/es2033845). More...

[...] LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) – The U.S. still relies on fossil fuels for 83 percent of its energy needs, with solar power only accounting for only one percent of the country’s alternative energy production. In addition, high-profile bankruptcies haven’t helped the cause of solar power, most noticeably that of Fremont, California based Solyndra, which folded last September after receiving a $535-million federal loan guarantee.
