Carbon Dioxide Record Breaking Level: Planet Will Be Uninhabitable For Human Beings After Some Years

Medicine & Technology Apr 07, 2017

Scientists tracked the historical changes in the carbon dioxide levels with the help Antarctic ice cores air pocket and deep sea floor sludge. Scientists compiled 1500 carbon dioxide estimates for creating a view extending 420 million years.

Mysterious 'Magic Islands' on Saturn's Titan Moon May Have Just Been Explained

Mar 18, 2017

Hydrocarbon lakes on Titan, the largest moon of Saturn, may erupt on occasion, ejecting nitrogen bubbles in the process.

Global Warming Causes Record Shrinking Of Ocean Oxygen Level In 50 Years: Alarming Condition For Sea Life

Feb 17, 2017

Over the past 50 years, the global rate of Oxygen at ocean is decreased by two percent. Scientists identified that burning of fossil fuel increases the greenhouse gas in atmosphere and 40 percent of greenhouse gases gets absorbed by ocean.

Deep Sea Bacteria Answer To Climate Change

Neutralizing Carbon Dioxide is now possible based on the latest dicovery.

How's the Carbon Stacking Up? NOAA Says CO2 Has Passed Its Mark

May 08, 2015

The latest human first has chilling consequences for our species, and all others: for the first time since scientists began tracking global carbon dioxide concentrations in our atmosphere, we have surpassed 400 parts per million worldwide.

Could Excess Carbon Dioxide Be Coming From The Trees? New Forest Models Predict CO2

Apr 28, 2015

For several years now researchers have come to find a perplexing missing amount of carbon dioxide in their data. Models have repeatedly missed the mark, and though researchers don’t exactly know where all of the carbon emissions are coming from and where they are going, many assumed that the answer had to lie in the ‘sink’ of the world’s oceans. But now researchers at the Imperial College London are finding that perhaps the rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide has something to do with forests—or rather, what humans leave behind.

Not Sugary Sweet, But New Artificial Photosynthesis May Change the Game Altogether

Apr 17, 2015

Now, it’s not the first endeavor into artificial photosynthesis, but it may be the most successful on account of its hybrid technology. And by creating a system of semiconducting nanowires, paired with bacteria, researchers with the U.S. Department of Energy and University of California, Berkeley believe that they may change the biotechnology game by converting carbon dioxide into something else, instead of a sugary sweet treat.

Carbon Dioxide Caught Red Handed By Scientists

Feb 28, 2015

It is no secret that greenhouse gas emissions, and especially carbon dioxide, are on the rise much to the alarm of governments, scientists and environmentalists around the globe. These gases get their name from their effect of trapping the suns energy inside the atmosphere causing temperatures to rise. However, scientists had not directly observed this effect, until now.

New Study Reveals Americans Believe Stopping Climate Change is a “Moral Obligation”

Feb 28, 2015

A new study by Reuters/IPSOS has found that a majority of Americans see it as a "moral obligation" to reduce carbon emissions and stop climate change to ensure the continued health of the planet.

Pushed to the Brink—Humans Put Earth in 'The Danger Zone'

Jan 17, 2015

With unprecedented levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, widespread species extinction, habit destruction, and increased levels of nitrogen and phosphorous in the oceans courtesy of polluting fertilizers, the Earth is being pushed to the brink and could one day make it unsafe for the continuation of life. The rate at which humans are destroying the environment is entirely unprecedented, and with such a devastating effect unseen in the last 11,700 years, life is facing an uncertain future ahead.

2015, The Year of Climate Change―And Doing Something About It

Jan 13, 2015

A new year, a new mission―and for 2015 researchers, politicians and conservationists are looking to reduce man's carbon footprint on a serious level.

NASA—How Tropical Rainforests May Help End the Climate Change Issue

Jan 07, 2015

If 2014 made anything evident on the global stage, it’s that climate change is a serious issue and one that must be dealt with urgently. Many hope that the United Nations Summit in 2015 will bring some sort of international change, but with new research from the US space agency NASA, researchers are now saying that we may have some added help on our side—tropical rainforests.

NASA Says Tropical Rainforests May Hold a Key To the Climate Change Issue

Jan 05, 2015

While tropical rainforests may be vanishing, a new study led by NASA researchers reveals yet another reason why trees in the tropical rainforest may in fact be man’s best friend. With greenhouse gas emissions on a constant rise since the dawning of the industrial revolution and the subsequent population growth that followed, researchers in recent years have tried to estimate exactly how much carbon dioxide is actually absorbed by plants to better assess a serious global issue. And in a new NASA-led study, researchers from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory were able to combine three different divisions of science to reveal that tropical rainforests may be absorbing far more CO2 than many researchers previously thought, in response to rising atmospheric levels of the greenhouse gas.

What Lay in Seas of Venus? Researchers Say They May Have Found the Cloudlike Answer

Dec 30, 2014

As NASA contemplates sending man to Venus, to live in a floating civilization above the hostile burning surface, new research reveals that while current surface temperatures soar above a bone-ashing 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit temperatures may have once supported some sort of liquid on the surface—but you won’t be able to guess what it is.
