Two senior Church of England bishops called for a cut back on carbon, rather than the more traditional chocolate and alcohol, for the Christian period of Lent this year. picked by tigertony 8 months ago

Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed a strategy to capture, store and eventually recycle carbon from vehicles to prevent the pollutant from finding its way from a car tailpipe into the atmosphere. Georgia Tech researchers envision a zero emission car, and a transportation system completely free of fossil fuels. picked by AutumnLotus 8 months 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 5 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 5 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 6 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 11 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 1 year ago

UK researchers have created a tiny liquid crystal display using a transparent material harder than diamond and only one atom thick.

The LCD display, based on the material graphene, could one day be used in everything from mobile phone touch screens to televisions. picked by AutumnLotus 5 months ago

Individual carbon allowances could be introduced within five years as the Government seeks to slash harmful greenhouse gas emissions, according to a feasibility study published today.

Ministers are considering plans which could see everybody issued with a carbon 'credit card' to be swiped on payment for petrol, flights and utility bills. picked by hmtksteve 5 months ago

Critics call biofuels a "crime against humanity" - pitting the 800 million people with cars against the 800 million people with hunger. Every acre used to generate fuel is an acre that can't be used to generate the food needed to feed us or the carbon storage needed to save us. picked by cb__ 7 months ago

Organic compounds contain carbon and hydrogen and form the building blocks of all life on Earth. By analyzing organic material and minerals in the Martian meteorite Allan Hills 84001, scientists have shown for the first time that building blocks of life formed on Mars early in its history. Previously, scientists have thought that organic material in ALH 84001 was brought to Mars by meteorite impac... read full post picked by AutumnLotus 10 months ago
