Scientists turn carbon dioxide into stone to fight climate change
2016-06-10 06:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Agence France-Presse: Scientists have turned carbon dioxide into stone in a matter of months by pumping it deep underground, offering a revolutionary new way of storing the greenhouse gas to tackle climate change. The pioneering experiment in Iceland mixed CO2 emissions with water and pumped it hundreds of meters (feet) underground into volcanic basalt rock -- where it rapidly turned into a solid. "We need to deal with rising carbon emissions. This is the ultimate permanent storage -- turn them back to stone,' said...
Scientists turn carbon dioxide gas into harmless stone

Associated Press: Scientists have a found a quick way but not a cheap one to turn heat-trapping carbon dioxide gas into harmless rock. Experts say the results of a two-year, $10 million experiment called CarbFix , conducted about one-third of a mile (540 meters) deep in the rocks of Iceland, offer new hope for an effective weapon to help fight man-made global warming. When an international team of scientists pumped a carbon dioxide and water mix into underground basalt rocks, basic chemistry took over. The...
Carbon dioxide fertilization greening Earth, study finds
2016-04-27 05:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: From a quarter to half of Earth's vegetated lands has shown significant greening over the last 35 years largely due to rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide, according to a new study published in the journal Nature Climate Change on April 25. An international team of 32 authors from 24 institutions in eight countries led the effort, which involved using satellite data from NASA's Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Advanced Very...

U.K. Must Seek 57% Carbon Dioxide Cut by 2030, Lawmakers Say
2016-04-26 23:39:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Bloomberg: The U.K. government should adopt the advice of its climate-change adviser and seek to cut carbon dioxide emissions by 57 percent in the four decades through 2030, a panel of lawmakers said. Ministers should also limit the so-called carbon intensity of Britains power plants to 100 grams of carbon dioxide per kilowatt-hour of electricity, down from about 450 grams now, the cross-party Energy and Climate Change Committee said in a report published Wednesday. Decarbonizing our power sector is,...
