„Nick Breeze, journalist and[nbsp]organiser of the Cambridge Climate Lecture Series, interviews Professor Sir David King, who[nbsp]served as Cheif[nbsp] Science Advisor to the British Government under Prime Minsters‘ Blair, Brown, Cameron, and May. He has recently set-up the Centre for Climate Repair Cambridge to accelerate global efforts to avoid climate disaster.“
„Earlier this year, Carbon Engineering – the innovative firm that sequesters atmospheric carbon dioxide using “Direct Air Capture” technology – raised $68 million from a consortium of investors.“
„Millions of floating islands, clustered together, that convert carbon dioxide to methanol fuel could help reduce the amount of green house gases in the atmosphere, according to researchers from Norway and Switzerland.“
„With continued unabated increase of greenhouse gas emissions, it is increasingly unlikely that climate change can be limited to prevent significant impacts on society and the ecosystem. Therefore, interest in potential geoengineering schemes is increasing, including solar radiation management (SRM) methods. In this session, we invite abstracts that analyze benefits and side effects of different SRM approaches from global to local scales.“
„Removing vast quantities of CO2 from the air is necessary to avoid the worst effects of climate change. Andrew Wade reports on the pioneers taking on the challenge.„
Hemingway, J.; Rothman, D.; Grant, K.; Rosengard, S.; Eglinton, T.; Derry, L.; Galy, V. (2019): Mineral protection regulates long-term global preservation of natural organic carbon. In: Nature 570 (7760), S. 228–231. DOI: 10.1038/s41586-019-1280-6.
„The balance between photosynthetic organic carbon production and respiration controls atmospheric composition and climate. […] Here we present a global dataset of the distributions of organic carbon activation energy and corresponding radiocarbon ages in soils, sediments and dissolved organic carbon. We find that activation energy distributions broaden over time in all mineral-containing samples.“
„Spearheaded by the ag-tech company Indigo Agriculture, the Terraton Initiative has an ambitious goal of removing 1 trillion tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere by sequestering it in agricultural soil.“
„CLIMATE change may end up causing World War 3 if individual countries start to try and save themselves by hacking the weather with a process called geoengineering.“
„To help protect the planet, many experts argue in favor of geoengineering, or deliberately hacking the Earth by sequestering atmospheric carbon or blocking sunlight. But while these plans may be well-intentioned, reports Business Insider, any country that pursues them without other nations’ blessings could inadvertently start a global war.“
„At record levels of 415 parts per million (ppm), the Earth’s atmosphere contains one trillion tons (one teraton) more carbon dioxide today than it did prior to the Industrial Revolution.“
