The numbers show that China has not reduced its emissions at all and is actually burning 17% more coal than what was previously reported.

A regular tree can evaporate as much as ten gallons of water a day, acting as a natural air conditioner for its surroundings. So trees are important for their CO2-sequestration capabilities and keeping things cool(er).</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>The Australian Antarctic Division performed a research  in this area, and found out that the whale poo is very rich in iron - about some 10 million times richer than sea water, as Steve Nicol, one of the scientists, said: "The plants love it and it actually becomes a way of taking carbon out of the atmosphere."</p>

Klaus Lackner said, as the "tree" could be used for capturing carbon which has been already emitted into the air by car gasoline or airplain fuel.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>We all know most of world's greatest inventions have been made by mistake. A team of researchers from the Penn State, led by Bruce E.Logan, Kappe Professor of Environmental Engineering, discovered how to produce methane from water and carbon dioxide. Here's what he says: "We were studying making hydrogen in microbial electrolysis cells and we kept getting all this methane. We may now understand why."</p>

But even if nitrogen is one of the most abundant element in the atmosphere, it's still a pollutant and can have a dramatic influence on the planet's environment.</p>
