CO2
Rising carbon dioxide levels have not only resulted in rising global temperatures, but it seems they have also been adding a splash of green to our planet's arid regions.
According to recent measurements from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) observatory in Mauna Lao, Hawaii, carbon dioxide emissions have finally passed the dreaded threshold that everyone's been warning about. For the first time in recorded human history, levels of carbon dioxide surpassed 400 parts per million (ppm); a phenomenon that has not graced this planet for millions of years.
A new study shows that the Arctic Ocean has become more acidic as Industry has risen.
Rising sea levels are expected to begin affecting many coastal cities in the decades to come, and researchers have been scrambling for a way to curb the process. An encouraging new study now states that curbing four key pollutants can effectively slow the rate of sea level rising by 25 to 50 percent.
It's a well-known fact that carbon dioxide is one of the main culprits behind our planet's rising temperatures, but scientists from the University of Georgia have now created a microorganism that can make something useful out of the harmful gas in hopes of alleviating our carbon footprint.
