For more than 100 years, scientists have known that large quantities of greenhouse gases, released from the burning of fossil fuels, go up into the atmosphere and heat the planet. Humans caused ...
Natural gas (mostly methane) is an even more potent greenhouse gas when it escapes into the atmosphere prior to being burned. Since the industrial age began circa 1750–1850 with growing wood and coal use, the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide and methane have increased about 50% and 150%, respectively, above their relatively stable ...
Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, meaning it causes heat to get trapped in the atmosphere, rather than being released into space, raising the Earth's temperature – known as global warming. [302] Alongside greenhouse gas emissions the industry is also responsible for almost 35% of microplastic pollution in the oceans. [301]
It found that under typical inflation conditions, the lifecycle cost of natural gas and reversible, air-source heat pumps are nearly identical, which in part explains why heat pump sales have surpassed gas furnace sales in the U.S. for the first time during a period of high inflation. [27]
Since bumping up against support at 2.75 in mid-September, liquified natural gas price have jumped 18 percent, hitting a high above $3.20 for the first time since February. Prompting this is news ...

The majority of premature deaths caused by Chernobyl are expected to be the result of cancers and other diseases induced by radiation in the decades after the event. [citation needed] This will be the result of a large population exposed to relatively low doses of radiation increasing the risk of cancer across that population.
Natural gas prices are down nearly 40% year to date amid a glut in supply and a milder-than-expected winter. But analysts see an upside for the commodity going into the end of the year — in part ...
