By David Simon During a recent Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, Senator Chris Coons demanded of Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey that the social media giant ban statements that deny that climate change presents an existential threat. “You do, Mr. Dorsey, have policies against deep fakes or manipulated media, against COVID-19 misinformation, against things that violate civic integrity, but you
By Lucia Alejandra Fitts, Matthew B. Russell, Grant M. Domke, and Joseph K. Knight Abstract Background: Forests provide the largest terrestrial sink of carbon (C). However, these C stocks are threatened by forest land conversion. Land use change has global impacts and is a critical component when studying C fluxes, but it is not always
By Park Sae-Jin SEOUL –Researchers from a South Korean state research institute have developed a solid carbonation module device that can extract carbon dioxide from industrial exhaust gas and byproducts to create calcium carbonate more effectively than conventional methods. The device is expected to help a changeover to a zero-emission energy system. Calcium carbonate, which
Data from Greenland and Antarctica show: under ice trace elements are mobilised at higher rates than previously assumed Trace elements such as iron, manganese and zinc are an integral part of the biogeochemical processes on the Earth’s surface. As micronutrients, they play an essential role for the growth of all kinds of organisms and thus
By Dr. Lars Schernikau and Prof. William H. Smith Abstract Germany is responsible for about 2 % of global annual CO2 emissions from energy. To match Germany’s average annual electricity demand (~20 % of Germany’s final energy consumption) solely from solar photovoltaic panels located in Spain, about 9% of Spain would have to be covered with solar panels (45.000 km2). In addition, storage capacity totaling about 310 TWh would

Holocene summer temperature in arid central Asia linked to millennial-scale North Atlantic climate events and driven by centennial-scale solar activity. Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology 556: 109880, doi.org/10.1016/j.palaeo.2020.109880. In the words of Huang et al. (2020), “millennial- and centennial-scale
By Divya Prasad et al. ABSTRACT The involvement of CO2 as a renewable and abundant feedstock toward a carbon balanced future has led to production of several value-added products. The primary focus in the current effort is to assess fixation of CO2 and epoxides into cyclic carbonates by employing state-of-the-art metal complexes as promising catalytic
By Ken Haapala, President, Science and Environmental Policy Project (SEPP) Greenhouse Continued: For the past several weeks TWTW has described work by W. A. van Wijngaarden and W. Happer (W & H), on the thermal radiation of the five most abundant greenhouse gases. The most abundant greenhouse gas, water vapor, and the second most abundant,
The CO2 Coalition was established in 2015 as a 501(c)(3) for the purpose of educating thought leaders, policy makers, and the public about the important contribution made by carbon dioxide to our lives and the economy.
