Wolfgang Knorr, a scientist of the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Bristol, came to the conclusion that the atmospheric carbon dioxide fraction remained constant in the last 150 years or at least during last 50 years.
NASA developed a new tool (AIRS – Atmospheric Infrared Sounder Instrument) for a better understanding of CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere, its movement and transport.
The research comes to show that cause of this calamity are not entirely the greenhouses gases, like carbon dioxide. Instead they came to the conclusion that the local, industrial pollution, and its resulting black soot could be the cause of the melting Himalayas.
Researchers at the University of California San Diego have discovered some plant enzymes which can allow plants to save water while consuming more carbon dioxide.
Researchers managed to genetically manipulate a cyanobacterium, so that after absorbing carbon dioxide, the microorganism is capable of returning isobutanol.
Currently, highest carbon emissions are produced by cars, trucks and non-nuclear power plants.
