New project funded: Natural CO2 removal from a high-CO2 atmosphere
Deliberate carbon dioxide removal (CDR) from the atmosphere is necessary to keep globalwarming at safe levels in this century. Enhanced weathering and ocean fertilization are powerfulnatural CDR processes with potentials to counter global warming, but their impact andbiogeochemical consequences upon implementation are uncertain due to limited verification at theglobal scale in the real world. Past … Read More
