Tag: global warmingAn Ocean Trap for Carbon Dioxide A New Jersey plant is planning to put ocean-floor carbon sequestration to the test. Does Anyone Understand Geo-Engineering? Research may be needed to evaluate alternatives to reducing greenhouse-gas emissions. The Real Price of Obama's Cap-and-Trade Plan A carbon-emissions limit will raise energy prices unevenly. Geologists discover that certain rock formations could sequester large amounts of carbon dioxide. Efforts to reduce pollution will let scientists see how the climate responds. Find out where Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John McCain stand on key technology issues. Elephant seals gather climate data. Environmentally Friendly Fridges A new magnetic-cooling system could lead to more-energy-efficient refrigerators. A Clearer Picture of Global Warming Continuous GPS stations in Greenland could improve our understanding of melting ice sheets. With sensors glued to their heads, seals have helped scientists understand the effects of climate change. Saving Bangladesh from Global Warming Researchers seek fine-scale impact maps for a nation endangered by climate change. A genomics pioneer turns his attention to synthetic biology's potential. A new MIT report says that much more effort is needed to develop and test technology that will make clean-coal power plants economical and practical. New Clues to Global-Warming Dangers Scientists are using gene chips to monitor the effects of global warming on marine life. It's time to get worried. No matter how well they're engineered, hydrogen cars offer no real answer to the imminent threats posed by global warming. |
