Discussion about the greenhouse effect and the importance of maintaining a balance of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The main gases in the atmosphere that contribute to the greenhouse effect ...

Human activities, however, have pumped carbon dioxide into the atmosphere at a pace perhaps never seen before ... which helps them determine how strongly the sample was influenced by natural sources ...

meaning the region essentially helped reduce carbon dioxide emissions worldwide by absorbing more carbon than it emitted into the atmosphere. That has mainly been due to carbon uptake from plants ...

No 'alternative data sources' Losing Mauna Loa would mean losing data ... Breaking the world's longest continuous measurement of atmospheric carbon dioxide at Mauna Lao would make it harder to track ...

Carbon-rich water sinks deep underground, locking away CO2 where it can’t harm the climate anymore, even during earthquakes.

80% of the lakes sampled contained higher concentrations of carbon dioxide than the atmosphere, indicating that they functioned as net sources of carbon dioxide. A regression analysis revealed ...

The discovery would be “crucial for shaping future climate” policies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving the capture and storage of CO2 from the atmosphere, the study’s ...

Otherwise the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will continue to grow ... the planet's carbon sinks are becoming sources of CO2 emissions. Warmer oceans are less able to take ...

By that Ralph Keeling means sources of CO2 such as fossil-fuel ... Significantly, his data showed a relentless rise in atmospheric CO2 levels, depicted in the famous Keeling Curve.

The ocean absorbs about a quarter of the CO2 that is emitted into the atmosphere. A ground-breaking ... usually focus either on capturing emissions at source or pulling them from the air.
