Harmful Asbestos May Help Alleviate Carbon Gas Emissions

Forests and woodlands around the world have a major role as natural carbon sinks, absorbing nearly one-third of atmospheric carbon dioxide. Scientists believe that old asbestos mining sites also have the potential to be carbon sinks.

Tropical Soils Are Highly Sensitive to Climate Change

Tropical soils play a significant role in the Earth's natural carbon cycle. Scientists measure how much worse carbon emissions have gotten in recent years by keeping track of soil temperatures.
Help curb CO₂ emissions by ordering items from a local store

Shopping Options: Which Will Help the Environment?

Placing an order at a nearby or local shop can curb the carbon dioxide emissions you're getting from online shopping. Certainly, if you order items to be delivered right to your doorstep from a local store, you help minimize carbon footprints.

Carbon Dioxide Emissions May Trigger a Devastating Reflex in the Carbon Cycle, Study Finds

Surpassing a “carbon threshold” could lead to mass extinction. Daniel Rothman, professor of geophysics and co-director of the Lorenz Center in MIT's Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences, has found that when the rate at which carbon dioxide enters the oceans pushes past a certain threshold - whether as the result of a sudden burst or a slow, steady influx - the Earth may respond with a runaway cascade of chemical feedbacks, leading to extreme ocean acidification that dramatically amplifies the effects of the original trigger.

Indoor Air May Matter When It Comes to Decision Making

Evidence suggests that indoor air has a negative effect on our decision-making skills You may have noticed after hours of being cooped up in a meeting room, the air becomes warmer and stuffier compared to the rest of the office.
