EPA eliminates rule that limits planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions from power plants https://news.mongabay.com/short-article/2026/09/epa-eliminates-rule-that-limits-planet-warming-greenhouse-gas-emissions-from-power-plants/

By 2035, #USdatacentres are projected to consume more #naturalgas than #Germany and #Japan combined, driven by both onsite power generation and grid-connected demand. This surge in demand could lead to higher natural gas #prices and significantly increase #greenhousegas #emissions. https://techcrunch.com/2026/09/15/us-data-centers-could-consume-more-natural-gas-than-germany-and-japan-combined-by-2035/?eicker.news #tech #news #ainews

#EPA Expected to Erase Limits on Climate #Pollution From Power Plants
Generation of electricity is the second largest source of carbon dioxide and other planet-warming gases in the United States.
By Maxine Joselow and Lisa Friedman, Sept. 13, 2026
Excerpt: "The #Trump administration plans to announce Monday that the United States will no longer limit the planet-warming pollution that power plants pump into the air while burning coal and gas, according to two people familiar with the proposal.
"The shift by the Environmental Protection Agency would complete the administration’s erasure of the most consequential climate policies of Presidents Joseph R. Biden Jr. and Barack Obama. If the move survives expected legal challenges, it could also prevent future administrations from regulating greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. [FASCISM!!!]
"The power sector is the second largest source of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the United States. This pollution accumulates in the atmosphere, where it traps the sun’s heat, raising temperatures and supercharging extreme weather events around the globe. Scientists say the United States and other industrialized nations must sharply cut emissions to avoid the most devastating impacts of climate change.
" #LeeZeldin , the E.P.A. administrator, is expected to announce the change during a meeting of energy ministers from the Group of 20 nations in Houston, according to the two people familiar with the matter, who requested anonymity to describe the proposal before it is made public.
"Representatives for the E.P.A. did not immediately respond to a request for comment late Sunday evening.
" #Environmentalists and energy experts have opposed the move, which has been in the works since last spring. They have noted that if the U.S. power sector were its own country, it would be the fifth-largest climate polluter in the world after China, the entire United States, India and Russia.
" 'This is another nail in the coffin for this administration’s commitment to protecting people and tackling the climate crisis,' said Manish Bapna, the president of the Natural Resources Defense Council, an environmental group. The E.P.A., he said, 'is ending its legal and moral responsibility to end #ClimatePollution. '
"[Idiot-in-chief] President Trump has derided climate change as a 'hoax,' and in his second term, the E.P.A. has systematically dismantled policies aimed at slowing global warming that have been criticized as costly by #oil, #gas and #coal companies. The administration has tried to make it easier and cheaper to produce and use fossil fuels, especially to generate electricity that can meet growing demand from artificial intelligence data centers."

#Arctic warming fuels 2 distinct #climate regimes in #Siberia that could wake up a #methane 'sleeping giant'
Research finds western Siberia is becoming wetter as the world warms, while eastern Siberia seems to be getting drier. Fueling rise in #emissions, spelling trouble for #climate
2010-2023, methane emissions from Siberia rose by 5%/yr, west Siberia releasing methane mainly via thawing soils and east Siberia discharging powerful #greenhousegas through biomass burning

A new deep learning model maps global #methane #emissions
Methane a potent #greenhousegas. Over 100-year timeframe, its warming potential is 30x #carbondioxide. MAPL-EMIT tackles critical bottleneck in methane detection. Trained on 3.6 million physics-simulated methane plumes, it cuts through complex, noisy terrain to detect 50% more plumes than human experts and identifies more than 23,000 additional plumes globally, including 24 out of 25 of largest-emitting landfills.

Unaccounted climate feedback loops may amplify warming by 20–30% this century, but cutting emissions will reduce risks
Even once #emissions from human activities reach net-zero, #GreenhouseGas feedbacks could still add an estimated 0.2°C (1 standard deviation: ±0.2°C) of warming by 2100 under a stronger climate action scenario (SSP1-2.6). Under a scenario with higher emissions (SSP4-6.0), they could add an estimated 0.4°C (1 standard deviation: ±0.2°C) by 2100.
Critically, these warming-induced emissions remain largely absent from most Earth system models used to estimate the response of temperature to anthropogenic emissions. This means that current climate projections likely underestimate future warming.

Projected amplification of #globalwarming by #warminginduced #greenhousegas #emissions
"Using the MAGICC climate model, we projected that WIE could add 0.2 °C–0.4 °C of warming by 2100 across scenarios, split roughly equally between carbon dioxide and methane, amplifying post-2020 anthropogenic warming by 20%–30%. Combined emission sensitivity and climate response 1σ uncertainties are ±0.2 °C on the added warming and ±10%–30% on the warming amplification."

Could Taking Carbon Out of The Sea Cool Down The Planet?
Getty Images A ground-breaking project to suck carbon out of the sea has started operating on England’s south coast. The small pilot scheme, known as SeaCURE, is funded by the UK government as part of its search for technologies that fight climate change. There’s broad consensus among climate scientists that the overwhelming priority is to cut greenhouse gas emissions, the chief cause of global warming. But many scientists also believe that part of the solution will have to involve […]

Methane Leaks Multiplying Beneath Antarctic Ocean Spark Fears of Climate Doom Loop
Leigh Tait – Earth Sciences NZ A potent greenhouse gas has begun seeping out of the Antarctic seafloor in dozens of places, scientists have discovered. Researchers documented the emergence of these methane seeps in shallow regions of the Ross Sea, a bay off the southern coast of Antarctica. The patches of leaking gas could be caused by global warming, and they could also threaten to accelerate it further, according to a new study published Oct. 1 in the journal Nature […]

Siberia's growing methane threat could offset 20% of global methane reduction targets by 2050
The #Arctic is warming at an accelerating pace. As #permafrost thaws across vast areas and wildfires become more frequent, large amounts of #methane (CH4) are being released. Together, these changes are reshaping the region's #GreenhouseGas emissions and further intensifying climate change.
In a study published in Science on August 6, an international team led by Professor Liu Yi from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics #IAP of the Chinese Academy of Sciences investigated how #CH4 #emissions in #Siberia are evolving under #ClimateChange. The study showed how atmospheric circulation promotes #wildfire activity and #methanogenesis and thereby drives the recent sharp rise in CH4 emissions.

How To Store Renewable Energy
Image credit: Pramote Polyamate via Getty Images Renewable-energy storage is important to help humanity reduce its dependence on fossil fuels such as oil and coal, which produce carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that cause climate change. Harnessing the power of the sun with solar panels and utilizing wind power with wind turbines are two common ways to generate renewable energy.

#Yak waste does not always add up: New field study reveals surprising greenhouse gas dynamics in alpine meadows
Overlapping yak urine and dung patches may produce far less #nitrousOxide than expected, challenging a common assumption in grassland #greenhouseGas estimates
Refrigeration and #AirConditioning, together, account for 7% of #GreenhouseGas emissions. So we cannae air condition our way out of #GlobalWarming, as the #UK government is apparently proposing to do.
We need architecture for passive cooling as well as passive heating; we need to adjust our work and activity patterns in hot weather.
And most of all we need to cut fossil carbon emissions to #ActualZero — #NetZero was always a fraudulent accounting trick.
