The United States made a dramatic reversal Saturday, first rejecting and then accepting a compromise to set the stage for intense negotiations in the next two years aimed at reducing carbon dioxide emissions worldwide. picked by 2manyusernames 1 year ago

Researchers at Sandia National Laboratories in New Mexico have found a way of using sunlight to recycle carbon dioxide and produce fuels like methanol or gasoline. The technology isn't completely new, just not cost-effective. Between improvements and increasing oil prices, that may change. picked by 2manyusernames 1 year ago

Carbon dioxide, a potential fingerprint of life, has been discovered for the first time in the atmosphere of a planet orbiting another star. picked by AutumnLotus 2 months ago

Scientists have found new evidence that the Earth's natural feedback mechanism regulated carbon dioxide levels for hundreds of thousands of years.

But they say humans are now emitting CO2 so fast that the planet's natural balancing mechanism cannot keep up. picked by AutumnLotus 8 months ago

Real estate brokers and local authorities say once-proud homes coast-to-coast are being stripped for copper, aluminum, and brass by thieves. In areas hit hardest by foreclosures, metals used in plumbing, heating systems and telephone lines are now more valuable than some homes. picked by DemureArt 9 months ago

The United States' leading hurricane forecaster says that global ocean currents, not human-produced carbon dioxide, are responsible for global warming, and the earth may begin to cool on its own in five to 10 years. picked by AutumnLotus 2 years ago

Hemp powered cars were the dream of both Henry Ford and Rudolf Diesel. It's a major source of ethanol that would allow the use to curb food shortages as a result of Corn and Grain Farmers being asked to sell their grain to ethanol manufacturers. picked by tigertony 8 months ago

A University of Colorado at Boulder-led research team tracing the origin of a large carbon dioxide increase in Earth's atmosphere at the end of the last ice age has detected two ancient "burps" that originated from the deepest parts of the oceans. picked by AutumnLotus 2 years ago

Over 21% of all the carbon dioxide pollution in the U.S. comes from energy used in homes. Most of that carbon dioxide is created by your local "dirty" electricity plant. In fact, your home is generally responsible for more co2 emissions than your car. picked by adambeazley 2 years ago

Scientists say they have found a workable way of reducing CO2 levels in the atmosphere by adding lime to seawater. And they think it has the potential to dramatically reverse CO2 accumulation in the atmosphere. picked by AutumnLotus 6 months ago

A team of water experts says the pattern of droughts and floods in South Africa shows our global warming was triggered by the variability of the sun’s irradiance rather than by human-emitted CO2. They say variations in South African rainfall patterns are keyed to periodic reversals of the sun’s magnetic field—and to the constantly changing distance between the sun and the earth a... read full post picked by AutumnLotus 1 year ago

In suburbs everywhere, behind closed doors there are secrets. Every house has them. Scratch the surface and who knows what you will find. Photographer Steven Hirsch has found the homes of 24 registered sex offenders and captured them. The photographs, just like the houses, give away nothing. Whatever you ascribe to these is your own. picked by misswinkle 1 year ago

An early morning fire still burning at the "Street of Dreams" model luxury home development in Echo Lake just north of Woodinville has destroyed at least three homes, and officials believe a well-known arsonist group is responsible. picked by dollyllama 10 months ago

Dust littered the early universe and seeded the formation of rocky planets such as the Earth. Astronomers have found 10,000 Earth masses worth of dust surrounding Cassiopeia A, the remnants of a supernova about 11,000 light-years away from our planet. The NASA Spitzer Space Telescope observations show silicates, carbon, iron oxide, aluminum oxide and other dust-forming chemicals around the blown-o... read full post picked by AutumnLotus 1 year ago

The asteroid presumed to have wiped out the dinosaurs struck the Earth with such force that carbon deep in the Earth's crust liquefied, rocketed skyward, and formed tiny airborne beads that blanketed the planet, say scientists from the U.S., U.K., Italy, and New Zealand in this month's Geology. picked by AutumnLotus 8 months ago

Chemists can now use carbon nanotubes to judge the heat of chilli sauces. The technology might soon be available commercially as a cheap, disposable sensor for use in the food industry. Richard Compton and his team at Oxford University, UK, have developed a sensitive technique to measure the levels of capsaicinoids, the substances that make chillies hot, in samples of chilli sauce. picked by AutumnLotus 8 months ago

Taking a page from Nature herself, a team of researchers developed a method to enhance removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and place it in the Earth's oceans for storage. picked by AutumnLotus 1 year ago
