New Global Policies to Cut Plastic Waste and Reduce Carbon Emissions by 2050
A study from UC Santa Barbara and Berkeley suggests four key policies that could reduce global plastic waste mismanagement by 91 percent and cut related emissions by 30 percent by 2050. The policies include a mandate for 40 percent recycled plastic in new products, a cap on plastic production, greater investment in waste management, and a fee on pl...

Global Fossil CO2 Emissions Hit Record High in 2024: Here's What You Need to Know
Global CO2 emissions from fossil fuels reached a record high in 2024 at 37.4 billion tonnes, up 0.8% from 2023, according to the Global Carbon Project. Despite progress in renewables and climate efforts, fossil fuel use has not yet peaked, raising concerns about reaching global warming limits. With 41.6 billion tonnes of CO2 projected overall, scie...

‘Chonkus’ Algae Found Off Italian Coast Holds Promise for Improve Climate Change Situation
The newly identified ‘Chonkus’ strain of cyanobacteria, discovered in Italy's volcanic waters, may be a natural ally in carbon sequestration. With its CO₂-absorbing properties and ability to thrive in extreme environments, Chonkus shows promise in industrial carbon storage and bio-manufacturing, potentially lowering costs while contributing t...

Ancient Log Discovery in Canada Shows How Wood Burial Could Be Key to Affordable Carbon Storage
A 3,775-year-old log, found by climate scientist Ning Zeng's team in Canada, has shown the potential of buried wood for long-term carbon storage. When covered by clay, the log retained most of its carbon, hinting at a cost-effective, natural solution for lowering atmospheric CO2 levels. Researchers suggest this low-cost strategy could lock away car...

Thawing Permafrost Releases Greenhouse Gases, Contributing to Global Warming
Recent studies reveal alarming changes in the Arctic's permafrost, which has been a significant carbon reservoir for millennia. As temperatures rise, thawing permafrost is releasing greenhouse gases, particularly methane. This shift is changing the region from a carbon sink to a net contributor to global warming. Research indicates that emissions f...

Rainfall Significantly Boosts Ocean Carbon Dioxide Absorption Rates, Claims New Study
A new study led by David Ho highlights that rainfall significantly increases the ocean's carbon dioxide absorption by 5% to 7%, adding up to 140 to 190 million metric tons of CO2 annually. This research identifies mechanisms like turbulence, dilution, and wet deposition as key contributors to enhanced carbon uptake. The findings are crucial for imp...

Astronomers Discover 1-Cyanopyrene in Interstellar Space Revealing Carbon Secrets
Astronomers have discovered a new organic molecule, 1-cyanopyrene, in interstellar space. This finding challenges the long-held belief that carbon-rich compounds cannot survive harsh conditions in space. Detected in the Taurus Molecular Cloud-1, this discovery opens new avenues for understanding how carbon behaves in the universe. Researchers empha...
