Newspaper and orange peels could be futures clean fuel - 22-2-2010 19:11:40
A team of scientists have been researching on a new technique where <a href="http://www.dnaindia.com/scitech/report_orange-peels-and-newspapers-may-lead-to-cheaper-and-cleaner-fuel_1350008">orange peels</a> and newspapers could be used to run your vehicles in the near future. Now it is based on the concept of bio-fuel like using these to produce ethanol as fuel. However the ethanol produced by food causes more CO2 emissions. <br /><br />This technique not only reduces the CO2 emissions compared to ethanol but it would not require food-based products to produce it unlike bio-fuel. This will benefit cause there are no chances of global food shortages or spiraling food c more »

Grim past of Earths climate reveals scary message - 11-10-2009 9:59:45
History of our Earth's <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/8299426.stm">climate reveals some scarier message</a> that our current carbon emissions policies are to die for. According to a study, the current levels of carbon emissions and that of some 20 million years indicate that back then sea levels were about (25-40)m.<br /><br />So if we were to keep the current CO2 emissions as a target to maintain, then we would be under (25-40)m of water. By current standards CO2 emissions are near 450ppm however countries like Maldives and the Association of Small Island States are backing for the 350ppm as a target of CO2 this December.<br /><br />Al more »

Leaked UN report shows cuts offered at Copenhagen would lead to 3C rise - 18-12-2009 4:01:53
UN secretariat initial draft shows gap of up to 4.2 gigatonnes of CO2 between present pledges and cuts required to limit rise to 2C A confidential UN analysis obtained by the Guardian reveals that the emissions cuts offered so far at the Copenhagen climate change summit will lead to global temperatures rising by an average of 3C. The analysis seriously undermines the statements by governments that they are aiming to limit emissions to a level ensuring no more than a 2C temperature rise over the next century, and indicates that the last 24 hours of negotiations will be extremely challenging. more »

Nasa to launch CO2 mapper - 18-12-2008 18:32:16
<a href="http://www.nasa.gov">NASA</a> is to launch a satellite that will map CO2 emissions from all round the world. The objective would be to identify hot spots were there are high carbon emissions and also to monitor the carbon absorbers. It is known that the oceans absorb most of the emissions although with the help of this satellite other sinks can be detected.

How much CO2 in planted aquarium? - 23-4-2009 2:45:45
When injecting CO2 into a planted aquarium, it is important to know how much CO2 is actually getting dissolved. Otherwise, this is like driving without knowing your speed; one day, you’ll hit the ditch. But what is the right amount of CO2 and what are the consequences when CO2 is too high or too low?
To help figure this out, I have put together some information found over the years. If anyone wants to add to this, please use the comment box bellow.
Too much CO2
First, your are wasting CO2 and money. ... more »
