Marine viruses: Submerged players of climate change
While the world has been heavily focused on the usual players of global climate change, like fossil fuels and deforestation, a group of unlikely contenders has emerged from the depths of the ocean—marine viruses. These minuscule but mighty entities.....»»
Hidden carbon: Fungi and their "necromass" absorb one-third of the carbon emitted by burning fossil fuels every year
Beneath our feet, remarkable networks of fungal filaments stretch out in all directions. These mycorrhizal fungi live in partnership with plants, offering nutrients, water and protection from pests in exchange for carbon-rich sugars......»»
Republican state AGs, industry groups challenge U.S. approval of California truck rules
Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird said California's rules will "devastate the demand for liquid fuels, such as biodiesel." The states argue California's rules violate federal laws and the Clean Air Act that generally pre-empts states from acting......»»
Climate: Battle lines harden over how to slash CO2

Novel tin-based metal–organic frameworks for reducing carbon dioxide to formate
The never-ending demand for carbon-rich fuels to drive the economy keeps adding more and more carbon dioxide (CO2) to the atmosphere. While efforts are being made to reduce CO2 emissions, that alone cannot counter the adverse effects of the gas alrea.....»»
Keeping California"s oil in the ground will improve health but affect jobs, find study
As society reckons with climate change, there's a growing call to keep fossil fuels right where they are, in the ground. But the impact of curtailing oil production will depend on the policies we implement to achieve this......»»
The impact of thermal drawdown-induced alterations in rock thermal properties on heat recovery
Geothermal energy, found in subsurface hot dry rocks, is a viable option instead of fossil fuels. Enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) enable us to use the plentiful amounts of energy in the hot rocks. The optimization and risk management of this proces.....»»
Synthetic gasoline promises neutral emissions—but the math doesn’t work
