For many lizards, global climate change is a matter of life and death.

After decades of surveying Sceloporus lizard populations in Mexico, an international research team has found that rising temperatures have driven 12 percent of the country’s lizard populations to extinction.

CCS- carbon dioxide capture and storage

By ShamsSeptember 25, 20081 commentEnvironment, ScienceCapture, carbon dioxide, CCS, CO2, Schwarze Pumper. Germany, transport and storage, Vattenfall

Fossil fuels (mainly coal powered power stations) emits about one-third of all carbon dioxide (CO₂) that goes to the atmosphere every day. As it’s a well-known greenhouse gas, therefore many attempts are being made to capture it from the power stations and to store it underground in the geological formations. The aim is therefore towards ‘zero emission’.
