The Unreliable Sink
Joellen Russell wasn’t prepared for the 10-metre waves that pounded her research vessel during an expedition south of New Zealand. “It felt like the ship would be crushed each time we rolled into a mountain of water,” recalls Russell, an… Read more ›

EVANSVILLE, Indiana—To see one of the country’s largest coal-fired power plants, head northwest from this Ohio River city. Or east, because there’s another in the region. In fact, nearly every direction you go will take you to a coal plant… Read more ›
Scientists convert carbon dioxide and create net electricity
the generation of superoxide intermediates which reacts with the normally inert carbon dioxide, forming a carbon-carbon oxalate that is widely used in many industries, including pharmaceutical, fiber and metal smelting Read more ›
Turning point on ocean acidification?
Acidifying oceans are often thought of as an intractable problem with only a sole global solution – decrease carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. While that is true, it is also unlikely, at least in the near term. But there are other… Read more ›
Climate models have underestimated Earth’s sensitivity to CO2 changes, study finds
A Yale University study says global climate models have significantly underestimated how much the Earth’s surface temperature will rise if greenhouse gas emissions continue to increase as expected. Yale scientists looked at a number of global climate projections and found… Read more ›

Soil Solutions to Climate Problems – Narrated by Michael Pollan
Narrated by Michael Pollan. A powerful solution to the climate crisis can be found right beneath our feet—in the soil. By harnessing the immense power of photosynthesis, we can convert atmospheric carbon, a problem, into soil carbon, a solution. Emerging… Read more ›
