Earth begins new epoch because of humans  

Earth has entered new era. British geologists at the University of Leicester have documented evidence for a previously suggested idea that the Earth has entered a new age called the Anthropocene era. They say that the changes to the environment due to increased human population and industrialization are so great that the planet’s pre-industrial Holocene era is now over. We appreciate this valuable information, University of Leicester scientists. May we humans respond quickly to make this era one of global benefit in peace and harmony with our Mother Earth.
 
New Methane Storage Technology Exceeds DOE Goals  

US researchers develop highly efficient methane “sponge.” Researchers at Miami University in Ohio have developed a new highly porous metal-organic framework (MOF), called PCN-14, which has greatly exceeded that US Department of Energy goals for absorbing methane. This scientific advancement may enable cars to run on methane fuels by using the MOF to absorb the methane, rather than pollute the atmosphere. Bravo and our sincere thanks Miami University scientists for advancing our capabilities to reverse climate change. May God bless your endeavors with success!

Japan plans to support replacing petrol with wood  

Japan has promising plans to create alternative fuel from wood. Japan is about to initiate an US$11.2 million plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by replacing imported petrol with ethanol from native wood biomass as a new and cleaner fuel source.
