Removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere

ScienceDaily: You may as well learn the expression "carbon-negative technology," or Bio-CCS, right away, because it has become a talking point in technological circles. Gemini explains why. There exists a method, or technology, that is capable of reducing the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. "In practice, the methods consists of capturing carbon dioxide emitted by "climate-neutral" processes such as the combustion of organic waste, pellets or sawdust," explains SINTEF research scientist Mario Ditaranto,...

Rising carbon dioxide emissions pose 'intoxication' threat to world's ocean fish
2016-01-20 11:22:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
PhysOrg: "Our results were staggering and have massive implications for global fisheries and marine ecosystems across the planet," says lead author, Dr Ben McNeil, of the UNSW Climate Change Research Centre. "High concentrations of carbon dioxide cause fish to become intoxicated-a phenomenon known as hypercapnia. Essentially, the fish become lost at sea. The carbon dioxide affects their brains and they lose their sense of direction and ability to find their way home. They don't even know where their predators...

Increased carbon dioxide enhances plankton growth
2016-01-17 18:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Coccolithophores -- tiny calcifying plants that are part of the foundation of the marine food web -- have been increasing in relative abundance in the North Atlantic over the last 45 years, as carbon input into ocean waters has increased. Their relative abundance has increased 10 times, or by an order of magnitude, during this sampling period. This finding was diametrically opposed to what scientists had expected since coccolithophores make their plates out of calcium carbonate, which is becoming...

Giant icebergs play key role in removing carbon dioxide from atmosphere
2016-01-11 22:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Pioneering research from the University of Sheffield's Department of Geography discovered melting water from giant icebergs, which contains iron and other nutrients, supports hitherto unexpectedly high levels of phytoplankton growth. This activity, known as carbon sequestration, contributes to the long-term storage of atmospheric carbon dioxide, therefore helping to slow global warming. During the study, which is the first of its kind on this scale, a team of scientists led by Professor Grant...

Sulfur Dioxide Down Over China - Up Over India
2016-01-04 04:28:41| pollutiononline News Articles
Sulfur dioxide is a pungent, toxic gas found in Earth's atmosphere. In addition to harming human health, the gas affects the environment by interacting with water vapor to produce acid rain
