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

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 8 months ago

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 8 months ago

Houses built from hempcrete have been found to create less waste and need less fuel to heat than conventionally constructed homes, both saving carbon dioxide emissions associated with a building. picked by suebe 1 year 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 1 year ago

Concealed beneath Lake Kivu is a deadly mixture of methane gas and carbon dioxide that could trigger a fiery disaster if there is volcanic activity. picked by AutumnLotus 1 year 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 4 weeks ago

In 1986, Lake Nyos released such a deadly emission of CO2 gas that almost 1800 people died, along with over 3000 cattle. Neatorama details the how, why, and scientific fix-it. picked by gnikgnok 1 year ago

This young girl lost her legs in an accident at three years old. Unable to afford the cost of prosthetics, Qian’s parents came up with the idea of sitting her on a basketball, which, with the aid of a couple of brushes that double as low-level crutches, enabled her to move herself by bouncing around. After many years, she was fitted with new titaniums and is learning to walk again. picked by gnikgnok 1 year ago

Soviet investment in and support of industry has virtually disappeared, so that few major enterprises are still able to function. On an individual basis, nearly all of the Caucasus states grew very fast in 2007, the ADB reported. picked by boris0957 4 months ago

One of Australia’s most outspoken critics of the global warming theorists – particularly scientists who jumped on the political bandwagon – told a conference in Australia that carbon dioxide has not influenced global climate change.

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 10 months ago

The world should note the hand-crocheted shoulder-stock muffler and the anodized titanium plating. Several choices in stock wood are available. With a limited run of only 500, buy now before they're gone! picked by misswinkle 10 months ago

A team from Newcastle University aims to design soils that can remove carbon from the atmosphere, permanently and cost-effectively. This has never previously been attempted anywhere in the world. The concept underlying the initiative exploits the fact that plants, crops and trees naturally absorb atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) during photosynthesis and then pump surplus carbon through their root... read full post picked by AutumnLotus 5 months ago

The headquarters state of America's oil industry spewed 670 million metric tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere in 2003, enough that Texas would rank seventh in the world if it were its own country, according to the most recent figures from the U.S. Energy Information Administration. picked by dollyllama 7 months ago

Using concentrated solar energy to reverse combustion, a research team from Sandia National Laboratories is building a prototype device intended to chemically “reenergize” carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide using concentrated solar power. The carbon monoxide could then be used to make hydrogen or serve as a building block to synthesize a liquid combustible fuel, such as methanol or ev... read full post picked by AutumnLotus 9 months ago
