We know that plants sequester carbon dioxide. The Amazon rainforest (what’s left of it), mangrove swamps, and sea grasses all remove carbon dioxide from the air. But a recent study by the Oceans 2050 Global Seaweed Project found that seaweed farming can also be an important source of carbon sequestration. … [continued]

Since the Industrial Revolution, humans have emitted more than 2,000 gigatons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. (A gigaton is one billion metric tons.) This concentration of CO2 and other greenhouse gases in the air causes the climate change impacts we’re experiencing today, from forest fires to stifling heat waves and damaging sea level rise […]

A number of organizations have charted a path to a decarbonized world by 2050 and broken down required action into four areas or “pathways.” In recent posts, we discussed the first three pathways — decarbonizing electricity, electrifying everything, and using energy efficiently. We also discussed how individuals can take part in, and move the needle on, […]
