Scientists have been dramatically underestimating how much carbon trees actually absorb from the atmosphere, and the discoveries emerging from recent research are reshaping our understanding of ...

A new study found they’re surprisingly good at absorbing the carbon dioxide we spew into the air with all our cars, energy consumption and corporate industrialization. Researchers from USC’s Dornsife ...

Thanks to their ability to absorb and store carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, forests have long been recognised as a key tool in the fight against climate change – but not all forests are equal. New ...

Power plants and industrial facilities that emit carbon dioxide, the primary driver of global warming, are hopeful that Congress will keep tax credits for capturing the gas and storing it deep ...

Scientists who were assessing the structure of different types of wood at the microscopic level have discovered a totally new type of wood. This wood is part of tulip trees, which are relatives of ...

Trees are “coughing” as they’re struggling to keep up with the sheer amount of heat-trapped carbon dioxide in the air. A team of researchers led by Penn State assistant research professor of ...

Soil is often overlooked in climate conversations, but it might just be our greatest ally in the fight against rising carbon emissions. While tree planting campaigns make headlines and dominate ...

Earlier this year, scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, filled a device with bright-yellow powder, connected it to a tube, and stuck the tube through the wall of a lab. Over the next ...

Carbon capture scientists warn that nations are using their technology as cover to avoid cutting fossil fuel emissions rather than reducing them. About 60 countries updated climate plans since ...
