Last time carbon dioxide levels were this high: 15 million years ago, scientists report
You would have to go back at least 15 million years to find carbon dioxide levels on Earth as high as they are today, a UCLA scientist and colleagues report Oct. 8 in the online edition of the journal Science. view more (2009-10-09)
Learning to trade in carbon dioxide
"You have to be well prepared to enter the emissions trading arena. Otherwise you'll run the same financial risks as on a conventional stock exchange," declares Franzjosef Schafhausen of the German ministry for the environment, who heads the working group on the national climate change program. Poor awareness of the implications of... view more... (2003-12-01)
Ancient global warming episode holds clues to future climate, UH Manoa researcher says
When scientists take Earth's temperature, they usually use thermometers. But when scientists want to figure out Earth's temperature in the past, they have to rely on other tools. view more (2009-07-17)
Hungry microbes share out the carbon in the roots of plants
Sugars made by plants are rapidly used by microbes living in their roots, according to new research at the University of York, creating a short cut in the carbon cycle that is vital to life on earth. view more (2007-10-19)
RAND study: Alternative fossil fuels have economic potential
Alternative sources of fossil fuels such as oil sands and coal-to-liquids have significant economic promise, but the environmental consequences must also be considered, according to a RAND Corporation study issued today. view more (2008-10-08)
Climate protocol may save Amazon region
If Brazil gets a climate protocol, like the Kyoto Protocol for the rich countries, it will be possible to create an incentive for the country to reduce the deforestation of the Amazon region. The Kyoto Protocol targets a reduction of emissions of carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases. In a new study, Martin Persson, in collaboration with Christian... view more... (2004-05-28)
Increased carbon dioxide in atmosphere linked to decreased soil organic matter
A recent study at the University of Illinois created a bit of a mystery for soil scientist Michelle Wander - increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere was expected to increase plant growth, increase plant biomass and ultimately beef up the organic matter in the soil -- but it didn't. view more (2008-03-12)
New materials can selectively capture carbon dioxide, UCLA chemists report
UCLA chemists report a major advance in reducing heat-trapping carbon dioxide emissions in the Feb. 15 issue of the journal Science. view more (2008-02-15)
Coral reefs may start dissolving when atmospheric CO2 doubles
Rising carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and the resulting effects on ocean water are making it increasingly difficult for coral reefs to grow, say scientists. view more (2009-03-10)
Study Finds Plenty of Carbon Dioxide Storage Capacity Underground in Kentucky
As concern has grown over the effects of the human release of carbon dioxide (CO2) gas into the atmosphere, so too has research into technologies to manage CO2. view more (2006-10-09)
ESA tests laser to measure atmospheric carbon dioxide
A recent ESA campaign has demonstrated how a technique using lasers could be employed to measure carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The campaign supports one of the main objectives of the candidate Earth Explorer A-SCOPE mission. view more (2008-12-04)
NASA study illustrates how global peak oil could impact climate
The burning of fossil fuels -- notably coal, oil and gas -- has accounted for about 80 percent of the rise of atmospheric carbon dioxide since the pre-industrial era. Now, NASA researchers have identified feasible emission scenarios that could keep carbon dioxide below levels that some scientists have called dangerous for climate. view more (2008-09-11)
All the carbon counts
Cutting down forests for agriculture vents excess carbon dioxide into the air just as industrial activities and the burning of fossil fuels do. view more (2009-05-29)
Planet-sized solutions for global warming: International experts evaluate the options
Big ideas for reducing the impacts of climate change are being evaluated by an international line-up of leading scientists from the US, mainland Europe and the UK at a symposium in Cambridge this week. The scientists are coming together to evaluate which large-scale bio-engineering, geo-engineering and chemical engineering ideas to combat global... view more... (2004-01-05)
Southern Ocean could slow global warming
The Southern Ocean may slow the rate of global warming by absorbing significantly more heat and carbon dioxide than previously thought, according to new research. view more (2006-12-06)
Arctic land and seas account for up to 25 percent of world's carbon sink
In a new study in the journal Ecological Monographs, ecologists estimate that Arctic lands and oceans are responsible for up to 25 percent of the global net sink of atmospheric carbon dioxide. view more (2009-10-15)
Sinking Greenhouse Gases into the Ocean
"Polarstern" begins new iron fertilization experiment On January 21, 2004, the "Polarstern", research vessel of the Alfred-Wegener-Institute of Polar and Marine Research, will leave Cape Town for the third stage of the 21st expedition to Antarctica. Forty-nine scientists from nine countries will be aboard to investigate the effects of... view more... (2004-01-21)
ISU researcher identifies protein that concentrates carbon dioxide in algae
Increasing levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are a concern to many environmentalists who research global warming. view more (2009-04-09)
New material brings hydrogen fuel, cheaper petrochemicals closer to reality
A rubbery material that can purify hydrogen efficiently in its most usable form for fuel cells and oil refining has been developed by a chemical engineering group at The University of Texas at Austin. view more (2006-02-03)
UN body asks Lund Researchers to investigate new type of carbon sink
Trade in emission rights is intended to reduce global emissions of greenhouse gases. Countries with natural carbon sinks—areas that absorb more carbon dioxide than they give off—can ‘trade off’ that resource in return for their commitments to reduce emissions. Thus far this has largely involved forests. But now a new and... view more... (2001-11-09)
