    #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

  3. #ThamesValleyPolice and #Hampshire #Constabulary in Southern #England test a new #breathalyser (developed following research in the #Netherlands ) which checks #drivers for use of #nitrousoxide (laughing #gas) - a form of #DUI that has led to serious #collisions across #Europe

    (it almost seems like drivers are taking this stuff out of spite, as use of other substances is now tested for and detectable so folk have stopped doing them as much when regularly driving)

    This is apparently the first device of this kind in the World!

  7. Changes in stratospheric circulation and temperature, which are driven by climate change, are decreasing the lifetime of nitrous oxide (N2O), which provides negative feedback to atmospheric warming, but adds uncertainty to climate predictions.

  9. A Monday morning commute across #Paris Bois de Boulogne inevitably results in a #LaughingGas encounter. #NitrousOxide neurological damage seems to be a weekend hobby nowadays. Let's restrict sales of those canisters to licensed bakery professionals !

    I maja za co, jezusmaria, myslalem, ze juz nigdy wiecej nie uslysze zadnego nowego kawalka #trance, ktory bedzie brzmial jakby zostal wyprodukowany w 2010 - mozg rozj.... 🤯🤯🤯🤯

  12. At least one family business in #Norfolk is going to be heavily disrupted as they've lost a key staff member to His Majesty's Prisons, and two of the lads who got nicked have already served time previously for the obnoxious act of stealing #NitrousOxide cylinders from #NHS hospitals, even travelling up North to do so (there is absolutely no need to do that, the stuff can still be diverted from catering supplies).

    It looks like authorities got them just before older and more sensible lads aged out of the game and laundered the money they had made into the family business so old bill are getting smarter these days (or they pissed off someone locally and got grassed up)

    Demographics of the offenders and substances involved suggests they were part of local #rave scene

  14. Record leap in #CO2 fuels fears of accelerating #globalheating
    #Carbondioxide in air hit new high last year, with scientists concerned natural land and ocean #carbonsinks are weakening
    Atmospheric concentrations of #methane and #nitrousoxide — the second and third most important #greenhousegases related to human activities — also rose to record levels in #2024.

  18. "CO2 is responsible for around 55% of global warming to date. The other 45% comes from #SuperPollutants: #methane; black carbon; #fluorinated gases; #NitrousOxide; and tropospheric #ozone.

    As well as being substantial contributors to global warming, super pollutants are a major threat to human health.

  21. The only serious harm I see from the recreational use of nitrous oxide is #FuckinNangs littering the streets. They're made of aluminum, so theoretically recyclable. But a single unpopped canister mixed in with the empties could be very dangerous when they crush them. So metal recyclers usually won't take them.

    If Dr Shane Reti wants to regulate nitrous, ban those bloody little canisters. So you can only buy it in reusable tanks.

  23. A brief guide to the #greenhousegases driving #climatechange
    There’s more to #globalwarming than just #carbondioxide.
    #Methane is also a powerful contributor to climate change, making up about 30% of the warming we’ve experienced to date

  25. "#NitrousOxide is the third leading driver of #ClimateChange after carbon dioxide and methane. On a pound-for-pound basis, N2O is 273 times more potent as a greenhouse gas than CO2. Unlike other climate super-pollutants like methane, it is long-lived, remaining in the atmosphere for more than a century.

    Existing abatement technologies have the potential to reduce industrial N2O emissions up to 99 percent. "
