Carbon

Let's all take action and show that we value the future of the planet.

Scientists say the rapid rise in atmospheric methane has significant implications because it is a potent greenhouse gas and can contribute to global warming.

The Starship project can point the way to a clean, constant and scalable renewable energy solution.

The U.S. will still fund projects in vulnerable areas in need of expanded energy access.

Offsets must be regulated, reformed and heavily scrutinized. But we still need them. And we need them to succeed.

Volvo Cars has signed onto zero emission road transport declaration at COP26 and announced a new internal carbon pricing mechanism.

The technologies and financing needed are either already in place or within reach. The main missing ingredient needed now is evolution in our thinking and policy discourse.

19 million-year-old wood chips were found in sediment layers in the Bay of Bengal.

Exposure to air pollution has previously been linked to low birth weight and pre-term birth.

"President Trump—you're on notice. Your polluting buildings are part of the problem. Cut your emissions or pay the price," Mayor Bill de Blasio said.

A former Republican aide who rejects the scientific community's consensus on climate change said carbon dioxide is not pollution, dredging up a decades-old defense of CO2 emissions in order to write off Beto O'Rourke's newly announced climate plan.

Scientists analyzed the 2011 Japan earthquake to better understand the global carbon cycle.

The pro-fossil fuel U.S. event will take place as world leaders work to cap emissions and prevent "catastrophic" global warming.

Study does not advise introducing alien species, but findings will help in planning conservation strategies for the future.

There has been no evidence of a decline in consumption and emissions, despite slowing birthrates.

The new bill requires the state to use 50 percent of its energy from renewable sources by 2026.

Scientists wanted to address the question of how much organic material—substances that contain carbon and are essential for life—exists in interstellar space.

If the Arctic permafrost melts, greenhouse gasses equivalent to burning all of the world's forests two-and-a-half times over could be released.

But it can still be saved, scientists said.

The discovery opens up the tantalizing possibility that on other planets, life forms that need only atmospheric gas to survive exist, too.

Soil can store three times the amount of carbon found in the atmosphere.

"We could be eventually getting ourselves into a situation that we can't control."

Earth's ecosystems might not adapt to elevated carbon levels by that time.

"My conversations with Donald Trump continued after he went into the White House, and I had reasons to believe he would stay in the Paris agreement," Al Gore said.

Trump's withdrawal from the Paris Agreement makes it more likely the solar Silicon Valley will be located overseas.

A Kremlin aide said the deal was "unworkable" without the U.S., while Putin said America must still curb carbon emissions despite the Paris pullout.

Rules set by the EPA may take a backseat to consumers demanding vehicles that guzzle less gas and automakers having to meet tougher standards if they want to export cars overseas.

A rapidly declining carbon economy will upturn the global order.

Dead zones are appearing in oceans due to pollution from agribusiness and sewage. Two U.S. estuaries in trouble: Chesapeake Bay and Long Island Sound.

In just 2,000 years, we've burned up 400 million years-worth of fossil fuels.
