Greenhouse gas emissions have been identified as the major cause of global warming, and even if these are brought down to zero as of this moment, it is unlikely that the predictions for the near future will change. Scientists have come up with numerous geo-engineering techniques to directly extract CO2 from the atmosphere, but for now, most just […]

The increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has not only bad effects for the environment. A new study based on satellite data shows that deserts seem to get back to life, as a process known as “green foliage” starts to happen, and has been observed since the early 80’s. The study has been […]

The concentration of carbon dioxide, one of the most dangerous greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, has passed 400 parts per million (ppm) milestone on Friday. In human history, a record of such levels have been detected millions of years ago, when sea level has been nearly 40 meters higher than today’s, while the Arctic has […]
