A new study shows the Arctic climate system may be more sensitive to greenhouse warming than previously thought, and that current levels of Earth’s atmospheric carbon dioxide may be high enough to bring about significant, irreversible shifts in Arctic ecosystems.
For many lizards, global climate change is a matter of life and death.
Plants remain an effective way of tackling global warming despite emitting small amounts of an important greenhouse gas, a study has shown.
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’.
