Country-by-country estimates of CO2 emissions typically include only those emissions produced from the burning of fossil…
The construction of new buildings, power-plants and roads has driven a substantial increase in China’s carbon dioxide emissions…
Life is woven out of air by light – Jacob Moleschott Before starting to write this article, I asked my eight-year-old boy what he knew about how plants grow. He answered: “Plants take food from the air…

The ability of land ecosystems like crops and soils to slow down climate change may have been overestimated because some of these ‘carbon sinks’ actually emit more greenhouse gases than first thought…
It won’t surprise many people that world carbon emissions have failed to slow down, but the fact we’re now at risk of surpassing targets set for nine years hence, intended to limit the global rise in temperature…
Researchers have developed a coordinated network of sites across Australia to provide measurements of energy, carbon and…
