Scientists turn CO2 into rock to combat climate change
2016-06-11 12:36:00| 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.
