Emissions of this greenhouse gas are rising faster than expected – driven by fertiliser use and farming practices. It’s 273x more warming than CO₂ and the biggest destroyer of ozone left in our skies. Can science and smarter soil management turn the tide?
Nitrous oxide emissions accelerate as agriculture drives climate threat
With N2 O emissions up 40% in four decades, scientists are searching for answers. Anthony King looks at potential solutions to keep fertiliser nitrogen in the soil

On average to many C-F bonds if you would ask me. Let’s avoid the development of persistent, bioaccumulative compounds and target biodegradable APIs

"Thinking time —the time needed to concentrate without interruptions has always been central to scholarly work. It is essential to designing experiments, compiling data, assessing results, reviewing literature and, of course, writing. Yet, [it] is often undervalued."

The people who produce this Mauna Loa atmospheric CO₂ record have a lab in Hilo, Hawaiʻi, about 50 miles (80 km) from the observatory. By closing the lab, it'll be really difficult to maintain the CO₂ observations.
