The Biden administration has called for protecting mature US forests to slow climate change, but it’s still allowing them to be logged

The ocean could store vast amounts of carbon captured from the atmosphere in its twilight zone – but first we need a 4D internet of deep ocean sensors to track the effects

The ocean twilight zone could store vast amounts of carbon captured from the atmosphere, but first we need a 4D monitoring system to ensure ramping up carbon storage does no harm.

Canada is aiming for carbon neutrality and that will mean big changes to how we produce and consume energy

The goal of carbon neutrality changes everything. Canada can no longer limit itself to solutions that partially reduce emissions here and there. The chosen solution must be zero emissions.
