No, the situation is dire enough that we need to find a way to actually remove the carbon dioxide already emitted into the atmosphere. Scientists have largely focused their efforts on […]

With that in mind, let’s talk trees: According to the study of a large, interdisciplinary team of researchers, European broadleaf and coniferous trees have increased their water-use efficiency since the beginning of […]

Moreover, it can be used as a mean to mitigate ocean acidification, through generating of carbon-negative hydrogen and producing alkalinity. The findings of the laboratory based study are published in this week’s issue of the Proceedings […]
