But most cities don’t capture information about the full range of sources of this powerful greenhouse gas. In 2020, a team led by Æ»¹ûÒùÔº, measured methane emissions from various sources across the city of Montreal.</p> Mon, 12 Dec 2022 21:16:53 +0000 shirley.cardenas@mcgill.ca 288571 at /newsroom /newsroom/channels/news/2500-earth-could-be-alien-humans-334080 <p>To fully grasp and plan for climate impacts under any scenario, researchers and policymakers must look well beyond the 2100 benchmark. Unless CO2 emissions drop significantly, global warming by 2500 will make the Amazon barren, the American Midwest tropical, and India too hot to live in, according to a team of international scientists.</p> Tue, 12 Oct 2021 22:30:51 +0000 shirley.cardenas@mcgill.ca 279560 at /newsroom /newsroom/channels/news/expert-supreme-courts-carbon-tax-decision-330030 <p>In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court of Canada has ruled the federal Liberal government's carbon pricing regime is constitutional — a major decision that allows Ottawa to push ahead with its ambitious plan to ensure every province and territory has a price on carbon to curb greenhouse gas emissions. Some provinces — notably Alberta, Ontario and Saskatchewan — have forcefully opposed the carbon tax, arguing natural resources are in the provinces' jurisdiction under the Constitution.</p> Thu, 25 Mar 2021 17:14:55 +0000 shirley.cardenas@mcgill.ca 257105 at /newsroom /newsroom/channels/news/mcgill-expert-record-high-greenhouse-gases-238773 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 15:30:30 +0000 raphael.larocque-cyr@mcgill.ca 21110 at /newsroom /newsroom/channels/news/global-warming-pause-reflects-natural-fluctuation-237538 <p>Statistical analysis of average global temperatures between 1998 and 2013 shows that the slowdown in global warming during this period is consistent with natural variations in temperature, according to research by Æ»¹ûÒùÔº physics professor Shaun Lovejoy.</p> <p> Mon, 21 Jul 2014 18:06:18 +0000 christopher.chipello@mcgill.ca 20975 at /newsroom
