2 billion tonnes of CO2 removed from atmosphere annually
About two billion tonnes of carbon dioxide are being removed from the atmosphere every year, according to a report published on Thursday, but nearly all of it is accomplished through forests, despite growing investments in new technologies.
Carbon dioxide in the air at highest level in 4 million years
Despite a massive reduction in commuting and in many commercial activities during the early months of the pandemic, the amount of carbon in Earth's atmosphere in May reached its highest level in modern history, a global indicator released on Monday (June 7) showed.
Climate target too low, progress too slow: Top scientist
The world must sharply draw down greenhouse gas emissions and suck billions of tonnes of carbon dioxide from the air if today's youth are to be spared climate cataclysm, a top scientist warns.
Scientists dim sunlight, suck up carbon dioxide to cool planet
Scientists are sucking carbon dioxide from the air with giant fans and preparing to release chemicals from a balloon to dim the sun's rays as part of a climate engineering push to cool the planet.
Scientists turn chief global warming gas into harmless stone
Scientists have a found a quick way — but not a cheap one — to turn heat-trapping carbon dioxide gas into harmless rock.
Scientist engineers CO2 inhaling bacterium that produces energy
The chemist who gave us the artificial leaf has genetically engineered bacteria to absorb hydrogen and carbon dioxide and convert them into alcohol fuel, reports Forbes.
Court halts Obama’s key climate plan
President Barack Obama's plans to regulate emissions of carbon dioxide from US power plants have been stalled by the US Supreme Court.
Carbon nanofibres made from CO2 in the air
Scientists in the US finds a way to take carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air and make carbon nanofibres, a valuable manufacturing material.
