"The globally averaged temperature over land and ocean surfaces for February 2015 was the second highest since record keeping began in 1880. Both the year-to-date (January–February) and seasonal (December–February) globally averaged temperatures were record high."
"Average global temperatures for the past winter were the highest since record keeping began in 1880, according to a summary released by the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC), a branch of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)."
"University of Georgia-Athens researchers develop a process that allows direct conversion of switchgrass into ethanol without using expensive enzyme pre-treatment to break down the cellulose fibers."
"A new biofuels plant in southwest Kansas represents the future of ethanol production in the United States, Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz said."
"Generating electricity from biomass, such as urban waste and sustainably-sourced forest and crop residues, is one strategy for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, because it is carbon-neutral: it produces as much carbon as the plants suck out of the atmosphere."
“The new Republican leaders in Congress have pledged to roll back the EPA’s proposed new regulations on coal-fired power plants – a key component of President Obama’s strategy to reduce global warming.”
