Guardian: Our planets fragile ozone layer is on a path toward full restoration by about 2050. But theres a hitch: the success has hinged largely on replacing ozone-depleting substances with hydrofluorocarbon (HFCs) chemicals we now know are highly damaging to the environment. It is time to reduce these pollutants. Air conditioning, refrigeration, and insulation often contain factory-made HFCs. They are greenhouse gases that can be hundreds or thousands of times more potent than carbon dioxide in damaging...

Deep-sea bacteria could help neutralize greenhouse gas
2015-10-22 23:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: A type of bacteria plucked from the bottom of the ocean could be put to work neutralizing large amounts of industrial carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere, a group of University of Florida researchers has found. Carbon dioxide, a major contributor to the buildup of atmospheric greenhouse gases, can be captured and neutralized in a process known as sequestration. Most atmospheric carbon dioxide is produced from fossil fuel combustion, a waste known as flue gas. But converting the carbon dioxide...
