Inhalers produce as much carbon emissions as over 500,000 cars each year, study finds

Inhalers produce as much carbon emissions as over 500,000 cars each year, study finds

Inhalers that provide fast-acting treatment for people with certain respiratory conditions are contributing to greenhouse gas emissions, which can worsen both climate change and the conditions themselves, according to new research. In the study, published Monday in the Journal of the American Medical Association, researchers found inhalers approved for asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD, generated an estimated 24.9 …

The Collapse of Confidence in Carbon Capture

The Collapse of Confidence in Carbon Capture

Just a few years ago, Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) was expected to be the saviour of the oil and gas industry, as major fossil fuel firms invested heavily in CCS activities aimed at decarbonising operations. Governments worldwide have encouraged companies to invest in CCS in recent years, funding green energy projects to help reduce the carbon emitted from oil …

Giant trees of the Amazon get taller as forests fatten up on carbon dioxide

Giant trees of the Amazon get taller as forests fatten up on carbon dioxide

The giants of the Amazon are getting even bigger. A sweeping new study has found the rainforest’s largest trees are not only holding their ground, they’re thriving — growing, multiplying in number and continue to play a major role in mitigating the impacts of climate change. There was a 3.3% expansion in big trees per decade, scientists found, after tracking …

Civilization Can’t Arise Without Plate Tectonics And Carbon Dioxide

Civilization Can’t Arise Without Plate Tectonics And Carbon Dioxide

While plate tectonics may not be absolutely necessary for life, they may be necessary for a technological civilization to arise. Habitability may be possible on a static world, but habitability probably won’t persist long enough for a technological civilization like ours to appear. Plate tectonics regulates our planet’s climate, and without it, atmospheric CO2 would rise to catastrophic levels. New …
