Latest about carbon dioxide
James Webb telescope images reveal there's something strange with interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has made its first observations of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, revealing that the comet appears to be unusually rich in carbon dioxide.
Trippy liquid 'fireworks' appear when scientists try to mix unmixable fluids
When two fluids don't mix well, they sometimes form strange patterns called "viscous fingering," or Saffman-Taylor instability. Studying these patterns can help scientists understand how to design systems for carbon storage, a key part of managing climate change.
Scientists invent photosynthetic 'living' material that sucks CO2 out of the atmosphere
Scientists have developed a material with photosynthetic bacteria that convert carbon dioxide into a mineral skeleton. The material hardens over time, so it could be used for buildings, they say.
Humanity could be just 3 years away from crossing a dire climate threshold, report warns
Record carbon emissions mean that the planet's carbon budget could be exceeded in as little as three years, according to a new report.
Earth's oceans are a 'ticking time bomb' as acidity levels enter 'danger zone,' study suggests
Researchers have found that ocean acidification entered a "danger zone" in 2020, suggesting increased carbon dioxide levels have caused Earth to breach another planetary boundary.
The closer a volcano is to erupting, the greener the trees around it look from space
Scientists have found a way to monitor volcanic carbon dioxide levels — one of the first signs a volcano might be about to blow — that doesn't involve trekking up a mountain.
Catastrophic tipping point in Greenland reached as crystal blue lakes turn brown, belch out carbon dioxide
Record heat and rain turned thousands of Greenland lakes brown in 2022 as they hit a tipping point and began emitting carbon dioxide.
'Cryptic carbon' may leak from volcanoes millions of years after eruptions end
Dissolved carbon dioxide may have bubbled up from magma far below Earth's surface, contributing to prolonged warming.
