Keeping global temperatures below the limit set in the 2015 Paris Agreement requires rapid cuts in greenhouse emissions. However, scenarios consistent with the Paris limit also assume heavy reliance ...
PARIS – By 2050, humanity must durably remove four times as much carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air as today to cap global warming below the crucial target of 2 deg C, researchers said on June 4.
Taking its cue from the UN Emissions Gap Report. Countries’ current plans to extract CO 2 from the atmosphere are off-track to comply with the 1.5-degree limit. Since 2010, the United Nations ...
Many of the world’s top scientists now expect global warming to soar past the 1.5 degree Celsius target – the point of irreversible climate change. Reducing emissions is no longer enough.
To the editor: Your article on new scientific interventions to address global climate issues opens with the questionable claim that direct air capture to sequester atmospheric carbon dioxide ...

Carbon dioxide emissions continue to rise. Many countries have started to remove the greenhouse gas from the atmosphere.
The first camp holds developers liable for carbon stored underground over extended timeframes, such as the 50-year liability imposed by U.S. federal law, which doubles to 100 years for projects ...
The next generation of industrial plants to filter CO2 out of the air is on the way, and it’s getting closer to overcoming some of the biggest challenges of using this technology to fight ...
A Swiss start-up unveiled its second plant sucking carbon dioxide from the air and stocking it underground, scaling up its capacity tenfold with the aim of eliminating millions of tons of CO2 by 2030.
The “world’s largest” plant designed to suck planet-heating pollution out of the atmosphere like a giant vacuum began operating in Iceland on Wednesday. “Mammoth” is the second ...
