05 Mar It is time to draw down carbon dioxide but shut down moves to play God with the climate
Tim Flannery, The conversation (by cortasy of https://phys.org) in: https://phys.org/news/2024-01-carbon-dioxide-play-god-climate.html The global effort to keep climate change to safe levels—ideally within 1.5°C above pre-industrial temperatures—is moving far too slowly. And even if we stopped emitting CO2 today, the long-term impacts of the gas already in the air would continue...
20 Jan Danish researcher captures CO2 with mineral: “The theoretical potential is enormous”
Everyone's talking about CO2 these days and not only in the now-conventional sense that less of it should be released into the air. Rather, another increasingly common question is how to capture the unwanted gas from the atmosphere – and what to do with it...
