Australia must set targets for amount of CO2 to be removed from air, scientists say
Australia should set targets for the amount of carbon dioxide that could be pulled permanently from the atmosphere using “carbon drawdown” techniques like tree planting and direct air capture, according to a report from the Australian Academy of Science. A…
Can combining geothermal heat with direct air capture solve the climate crisis? – The Washington Post
Sucking carbon dioxide out of the sky — or “direct air capture,” as it is known by experts and scientists — is a bit like a time machine for climate change. It removes CO2 from the atmosphere and stores it…

After COP27, all signs point to world blowing past the 1.5 degrees global warming limit | Opinion – Pennsylvania Capital-Star
By Peter Schlosser The world could still, theoretically, meet its goal of keeping global warming under 1.5 degrees Celsius, a level many scientists consider a dangerous threshold. Realistically, that’s unlikely to happen. Part of the problem was evident at COP27,…
