Apple Inc. new Environmental Responsibility Report doesn't mince words. Unlike many governments around the world this corporation states the debate about whether climate change...
Coal Emissions Soaked up by CO2 Sponge
Coal power station emissions might be drastically reduced by a new material that adsorbs huge amounts of carbon dioxide and releases it when exposed...
People Living In The Countryside Pollute Just as Much as City Inhabitants, Study Says
A recent study performed by two Finnish researchers from Aalto University reveals that people living in the countryside pollute just as much as city dwellers. They used a different approach to fund their study's conclusion, placing the source of CO2 at the consumer site rather than at the production site, like it's been done before.
By 2036, Climate Change Will Reach Critical Mass
Right now, climate change seems to be future in the minds of many, but some predict that, by 2036, it will reach a critical...

Biochar: A Soil Fertilizer Used by Amazonian Indians Could Effectively Capture CO2
Mass production of biochar could capture and sock away carbon that otherwise would wind up in the atmosphere as carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas. Their report appears in ACS' Environmental Science & Technology, a bi-weekly journal.
Dry Water Shown to Be Effective in Trapping CO2 Emissions
A sugar-resembling substance that can absorb carbon dioxide within itself has been developed by a team led by Andrew Cooper, from the University of Liverpool, in the UK. The substance is called "dry water", because it's made of water and because it's dry, containing silica.
Technology For Making Construction Materials Out Of Carbon Dioxide Inspired By Sea Snail
The thing on the left is a snail, and it's called abalone. Aside the fact that it's edible, the abalone taught Angela Belcher, from MIT, how to turn carbon dioxide into rock-solid construction materials and thus sequester the gas for hundreds of thousands of years, instead of burying it underground, which is not as safe and as useful.
Would You Know Climate Change from a Hole in the Ground?
Climate change is affecting many different parts of the world, apparently in ways we do not yet fully understand, and may never understand. How...
