A new study has discovered that the current state of global warming could have been a lot worse if the world’s nations hadn’t successfully agreed to take measures to save the planet’s ozone layer, and phased out the production and use of numerous ozone-destroying chemical compounds. And the temperature differenceread more
The world Meteorological Organization has released their WMO Greenhouse Gas Bulletin for 2018, and unfortunately last year’s average carbon dioxide concentrations in the planet’s atmosphere followed the continuing trend year-over-year increases, resulting in a new annual record for CO2 levels. Average concentrations of CO2 in the atmosphere in 2018 reachedread more
Engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed a new, energy efficient electrochemical-based device that can capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, the chief ingredient in anthropogenic-caused global warming. This new device operates much like a battery, in that it can absorb carbon dioxide from air that is pumpedread more
One might assume that anything that might reflect sunlight back into space, like bright aircraft contrails, would be good for decreasing the effects of global warming, but a new study predicts that the atmospheric heat trapped by the water vapor in the ‘trails will triple by the middle of theread more
