The last time carbon dioxide in the atmosphere consistently matched today's human-driven levels was 14 million years ago, according to a large new study Thursday that paints a grim picture of where ...
The Chumash Heritage National Marine Sanctuary was originally nominated to cover 7,600 square miles from the southern boundary of the Monterey Bay sanctuary in northern San Luis Obispo ...
Analysis - It's right under our feet. We barely notice as we go about our lives, yet it is nothing less than the largest carbon repository among all of Earth's ecosystems. This distinction is awarded ...
“My favorite spot is Carbon Canyon Regional Park in Brea ... “We need to give them the space and the respect they need in ...
An international consortium of geoscientists has reconstructed atmosphereric levels of CO2 going back 66 million years using proxies in the geoloogical record. Today's concenteration, 420 parts per ...
io9 is proud to present fiction from LIGHTSPEED MAGAZINE. Once a month, we feature a story from LIGHTSPEED’s current issue. This month’s selection is “Carbon Zero” by D. Thomas Minton. You can read ...
New Zealand’s new government has vowed to explore ‘blue carbon’ options for removing atmospheric CO₂ to meet net zero goals. But first we need a national strategy for this developing field of science.
The results show that the last time the CO2 levels were as high as today was 14 million years ago during the Miocene epoch.
A massive new review of ancient atmospheric carbon-dioxide levels and corresponding temperatures lays out a daunting picture ...
“We now have a much clearer picture of what carbon dioxide levels were in the past,” says Bärbel Hönisch at Columbia University in New York, who coordinated the project. This enables us to put our ...
Essentially, the companies are banking on alkaline rocks that absorb CO2 from the air when they break down or “weather.” In nature, this happens when rain, wind, or waves work away at the rocks.
A proposal that would allow industries to permanently stash climate-polluting carbon dioxide beneath national forests puts those habitats and the people near them risk.
