To have any chance of avoiding dangerous climate change we’ll have to reduce the carbon emissions from our energy sectors — currently the largest human source of greenhouse gas emissions globally. And…

Through burning fossil fuels, humans are rapidly driving up levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which in turn is raising global temperatures. But not all the CO2 released from burning coal, oil…
The latest report on global carbon emissions released this week revealed that carbon dioxide emissions will likely reach 40 billion tonnes this year. Growth in emissions continues to match the worst-case…
A sponge like polymer for adsorbing carbon dioxide in power plant flue gas has been developed. Previous substances for carbon…
Significantly diminished water quality now joins the host of other risks associated with palm oil plantations. Researchers…
Rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere may be reducing the nutritional quality of food, new research shows. Researchers…
The Saharan dust that clogged air and dirtied cars recently may seem like a nuisance, but in fact contains some essential nutrients – if, that is, you’re phytoplankton. The dust and sand blown from Africa…
Carbon dioxide emissions could decrease the nutritional value of crops, further threatening future food security. Researchers…
Little-studied synthetic gases could have large effects on the ozone layer and climate if their use goes unchecked, according…
How can air bubbles trapped in ice for millions of years, or fossilised fern fronds, or the chemical make-up of rocks that were underwater in the distant past provide us with an inkling of our future…
To stop global warming, most governments are advocating reducing the amount of carbon dioxide (CO₂), a greenhouse gas, put into the atmosphere. But some argue that such action won’t be enough – we will…
New research has found that the release of forest emissions and smoke from wildfires had a far greater impact on global warming…
While the prime minister has shown unequivocal support for exploiting Britain’s shale gas reserves, stating the country should “go all out for shale gas”, more cautious voices point to possible effects…
Iron and steel are components of an almost limitless number of infrastructure and consumer goods. From forks to tanks, syringes to satellites, cars to computers, from buildings to the power stations that…
Rivers and streams release carbon dioxide at a rate five times greater than the world’s lakes and reservoirs combined. The…
Female mosquitos, which can transmit deadly diseases like malaria, are attracted to humans by the scent of exhaled carbon…
Even if emissions were brought to a halt, the carbon dioxide in the earth’s atmosphere is enough to continue warming the…
Methanosaeta, one of the earth’s most prominent methane producing micro-organisms, converts CO2 to methane by making electrical…
As CO2 levels in the atmosphere increase, so too does the earth’s sensitivity to the gas, according to new research conducted…
Atmospheric CO2 concentrations reached record levels last year according to the UN World Meteorological Organisation. The…
