Mangroves and salt marshes capture significant quantities of carbon, thereby reducing the greenhouse effect. New research from the University of Gothenburg shows that these environments…
Scientists’ annual checkup on Earth’s carbon cycle found that burning oil, coal, and natural gas is impeding progress to limit climate change. Carbon dioxide emissions…
Recent research reveals the mechanism by which soil captures atmospheric carbon derived from plants. When carbon molecules from plants make their way into the soil,…
Alarming projections show a significant rise in carbon emissions from mangrove forests by 2100, highlighting the critical need for protection and understanding of human impacts…
Berkeley Lab scientists show decadal increases in wetland methane emissions in Arctic and Boreal ecosystems. Wetlands are Earth’s largest natural source of methane, a potent…
New research on coastal wetlands indicates that without significant carbon emission reductions, 75% of these areas will be in deficit by 2070, potentially leading to…
As the Arctic warms, the growth of rivers could release carbon emissions equivalent to those of millions of vehicles. Recent findings from Dartmouth reveal groundbreaking…
A landmark study has uncovered that bottom trawling contributes to the release of as much as 370 million metric tons of carbon dioxide annually into…
Making one small diet change — chicken instead of beef, plant milk instead of cow’s milk — could significantly curb carbon emissions and increase the…
To mitigate global warming, significant cuts in greenhouse gas emissions are essential. This includes phasing out fossil fuels and embracing energy-efficient technologies. However, simply cutting…
New study finds that global carbon markets overcredit cookstove greenhouse gas reductions by a factor of 10. The fastest growing type of offset on the…
The latest carbon budget report from the Global Carbon Project reveals that global CO2 emissions remain significantly higher than the reductions required to achieve our…
Tandem electrocatalytic-thermocatalytic conversion could help offset emissions of potent greenhouse gas by locking carbon away in a useful material. Scientists at the U.S. Department of…
Runoff from one of North America’s largest rivers is driving intense carbon dioxide emissions in the Arctic Ocean. When it comes to influencing climate change,…
Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed an innovative car fuel system that operates in a circular manner, minimizing greenhouse gas emissions. This system…
Each nation exhibits a unique environmental impact from Bitcoin mining, largely influenced by its energy sources. A recent study led by the United Nations indicates…
A new study reveals that plants might absorb more CO2 than expected, offering hope in combating climate change. However, reducing emissions remains crucial, as planting…
