Quicker option to make mineral to take away carbon dioxide from environment

Scientists have developed an accelerated option to produce magnesite, a mineral which might seize the greenhouse gasoline carbon dioxide from the environment, at room temperature. Eradicating carbon dioxide from the environment would gradual world warming. This work takes a unique … Continue reading

Study settles prehistoric puzzle, confirms modern link of carbon dioxide and global warming

Fossil leaves from Africa resolve a prehistoric climate puzzle and confirm the link between carbon dioxide and global warming. Research previously found conflicting data on high carbon levels and its link to climate change about 22 million years ago. But … Continue reading

Future carbon dioxide, climate warming potentially unprecedented in 420 million years

Over the next 100 to 200 years, carbon dioxide concentrations in the Earth’s atmosphere will head towards values not seen since the Triassic period, 200 million years ago. Furthermore, by the 23rd century, the climate could reach a warmth not … Continue reading

Scientists Found a Way to Turn Carbon Dioxide Into Minerals

The white areas inside the darkish basalt rock core pattern present the place the CO₂ has reacted with minerals within the basalt and transformed right into a carbonate mineral just like limestone. We’re operating out of time to unravel our … Continue reading
