Game changing invention in carbon capture technology

Does the term “Carbon capture and storage” ring a bell in your mind? Wikipedia defines it  as a “technology attempting to prevent the release of large quantities of CO2 into the atmosphere from fossil fuel use in power generation and other industries by capturing

A new hypothesis on ocean acidification

A new hypothesis on ocean acidification

Since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has been rising due to the burning of fossil fuels. Increased absorption of this carbon by the oceans is lowering the seawater pH (the scale which measures how
