A few days ago, the first report estimating the amount of carbon dioxide captured on the planet was published. CO₂ is one of the greenhouse gases responsible for climate change that is already experienced on the planet and one of the strategies to mitigate its impacts has been captured. However, the evaluation details, these efforts are insufficient … Read more
The official publication of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States has made public a study related to the great capacity of brown algae to absorb carbon dioxide from the air, surpassing even that of terrestrial forests, for which reason they play a decisive role in the atmosphere and climate. The study by … Read more
A team of researchers measuring carbon emissions found that carbon emissions have increased over a decade. However, they also found that carbon emissions from gas and electricity have decreased during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a study from Nagoya University (Japan). To assess changes over time in the carbon footprint, the research group recorded electricity, … Read more
By carrying out our daily activities, each and every one of us is responsible for releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This is known as a carbon footprint. When we collectively generate more carbon than the Earth can assimilate, the extra CO2 contributes to climate change. Even the most harmless daily activities, such as Internet … Read more
The investments of the world’s 125 richest people emit 393 million tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) each year, a million times more than those in the bottom 90 per cent of income. humanity, says a new study by the anti-poverty coalition Oxfam. Billionaires responsible Nafkote Dabi, the coalition’s climate change leader, stated that “these few billionaires … Read more
In April this year, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released an assessment report on global progress towards slowing climate change. Carbon markets arise with the intention of obtaining the necessary emission reductions (targets) at the lowest cost: whoever can carry out the reduction actions at a not-very-high cost, carries them out. Whoever costs … Read more
Least Developed Countries (LDCs) must not become “carbon havens” as polluters in rich countries weed high-emitting industries out of their economies, a new report from the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) warned. The “effective and increasingly restrictive environmental laws” in industrialized countries, to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, which cause pollution and … Read more
Carbon dioxide is by far the most significant greenhouse gas emitted by human activities such as commercial agriculture, forestry, and the use of fossil fuels. The high release level of Co2 results in the rising of heat trapped in the earth’s atmosphere which is one of the major causes of climate change and deterioration. The … Read more
Ground Report | New Delhi: Living With Carbon; Carbon emission is currently one of the largest contributors to climate change that we are facing today. Carbon emissions as we all know cause health issues and harm the environment leading to a rise in temperature, forest fires, and heatwaves. India is no stranger to the global … Read more
Ground Report | New Delhi: 11 gigatonnes of carbon; An international research team has found that about 11 gigatonnes of carbon is released every year from decomposing wood in forests around the world, Forests around the world absorb significant amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and therefore play an important role in protecting our … Read more
