Bottom trawling significantly contributes to atmospheric carbon emissions by disturbing ocean sediments, a study finds. This method not only harms marine ecosystems but also releases…
A recent study indicates that small dietary changes, such as substituting a beef burger for a turkey burger or choosing plant-based milk, can significantly reduce…
Researchers found that carbon credits for efficient cookstoves are overestimated by a factor of 10, challenging the effectiveness of these offsets in combating climate change…
The latest Global Carbon Project report reveals that global CO2 emissions, hitting a record 36.8 billion metric tons in 2023, are far from the reductions…
Scientists have devised a strategy for converting carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere into valuable carbon nanofibers. The process uses tandem electrocatalytic (blue ring) and…
Sediment from Canada’s Mackenzie River empties into the Beaufort Sea in milky swirls in this 2017 satellite image. Scientists are studying how river discharge drives…
Researchers are developing a hydrogen-based car fuel system with zero greenhouse emissions, using a liquid converted by a catalyst. The method, still under research, faces…
A new study reveals the significant environmental impact of bitcoin mining on a global scale. The research shows how the energy mix of different countries…
Recent research indicates that plants could absorb more atmospheric CO2 than previously believed, providing a hopeful perspective on climate change mitigation. However, scientists emphasize the…
The COP28 climate conference will highlight the role of forests as major carbon ‘sinks,’ with a study revealing their potential to absorb up to 226…
The 2023 MIT Energy Initiative Conference focused on action over debate in climate change mitigation, with advances in technology and distributed energy systems taking center…
The climate crisis has spurred a surge in commercial tree plantations for carbon offset, but these might harm biodiversity and other ecosystem functions, argue researchers.…
Northwestern University has developed a “moisture-swing” technique for direct air carbon capture (DAC) which captures CO2 at low humidities and releases it at high humidities,…
MIT engineers have created a “supercapacitor” made of ancient, abundant materials, that can store large amounts of energy. Made of just cement, water, and carbon…
Rationing is a system of controlled distribution of limited resources, goods, or services during a time of shortage or emergency. It is usually implemented by…
Wildfires are a natural phenomenon that occur when dry vegetation, hot temperatures, and strong winds combine to ignite a fire. However, human activities such as…
The study found that the keto diet generates about 3 kg of carbon dioxide per 1,000 calories consumed, while the paleo diet produces 2.6 kg…
Researchers at the University of Cambridge have measured how much carbon is produced by fertilizers from the beginning to the end of their life cycle.…
Greenhouse gas emissions refer to the release of harmful gases, such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide, into the atmosphere. These emissions are a…
