A lot of the climate-altering carbon pollution humans release into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels gets drawn into the ...

The problem is, we're filling up the tub with CO₂ much faster than Earth's carbon sinks can pull them out. As a result, CO₂ concentration in the atmosphere rises.

By adding an electrical current to trigger chemical reactions, Johns Hopkins researchers have devised a way to reduce ...

Record heat in 2024 caused ecosystems on land to emit nearly as much carbon dioxide as they took out of the atmosphere ...

Rivers have long played a key role in the planet’s carbon cycle. They move and release gases like carbon dioxide (CO₂) and methane (CH₄), connecting land, air, and ocean systems.

Plants and trees take up CO 2 from the atmosphere and can then lock this carbon away in soils for thousands of years.

Activities like burning fossil fuels and making cement release CO2. But only half of the carbon dioxide stays in the atmosphere. Land-based plants and the ocean (to a limit) absorb the rest.

A new accrediting organization brings healthy competition to the vital carbon market. Carbon Credits are critical to preserve our forests and reach net zero.

If we think of the atmosphere as a bathtub, our emissions are the tap turned on, natural carbon sinks are the plughole and the water in the bath are the atmospheric CO₂ levels.
