Carbon dioxide (CO₂) pollution drives climate change, warming the planet and threatening human survival. Plants naturally turn CO₂ into oxygen (O₂) during photosynthesis, but their efficiency is ...

To mitigate global climate change, emissions of the primary culprit, carbon dioxide, must be drastically reduced. A newly developed process helps solve this problem: CO 2 is directly split ...

A new study of sediment cores shows a series of massive emissions of carbon dioxide over a 20 million year period about 300 million years ago. These CO2 emissions happened at the same time as drops in ...

Sept 4 - Carbon dioxide helps plants grow but it can also worsen conditions for plant growth, contrary to a graphic shared on social media that misleadingly suggests higher CO2 in Earth’s atmosphere ...

Methods to enhance the ocean's uptake of carbon dioxide (CO₂) are being explored to help tackle the climate crisis. However, some of these approaches could significantly exacerbate ocean deoxygenation ...

Over 300 million years ago, Earth experienced powerful bursts of carbon dioxide from natural sources—like massive volcanic eruptions—that triggered dramatic drops in ocean oxygen levels. These ancient ...

The solar-powered device can make valuable energy-dense molecules from carbon dioxide and water. For many years, researchers have been working to build devices that can mimic photosynthesis—the ...
