Nitrogen-using bacteria can cut farms’ greenhouse gas emissions 

Nitrogen fertilizers get converted to nitrous oxide, a potent greenhouse gas.

New research shows soil microorganisms could produce additional greenhouse gas emissions from thawing permafrost

As the planet has warmed, scientists have long been concerned about the potential for harmful greenhouse gases to seep out of thawing Arctic permafrost. Recent estimates suggest that by 2100 the amount of carbon dioxide and methane released from these perpetually frozen lands could be on par with emissions from large industrial countries. However, new research led by a team of Colorado State University microbiome scientists suggests those estimates might be too low.

Humanity’s survival is still within our grasp – just. But only if we take these radical steps

Reduce emissions, build resilience, repair ecosystems, remove greenhouse gases: these are the four Rs that can save us, says David King, chair of the global Climate Crisis Advisory Group
