Vast Majority of Global CO2 Emissions Tied to Just 57 Entities

DeSmogBlog

Since the Paris Agreement was signed in 2015, a small number of fossil fuel entities — just 57 corporate and state producers — have been responsible for 80 percent of planet-warming carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Only in North America were a slim minority of carbon majors — 16 of 37 — linked to rising emissions. “It In the U.S.,

No, The Oceans Are Not Acidic

R-Squared Energy

Over the past couple of centuries, atmospheric carbon dioxide has steadily risen. But the oceans also have a tremendous capacity to absorb CO 2. As that happens, CO 2 can react with water to form carbonic acid (H 2 CO 3 ). As that happens, CO 2 can react with water to form carbonic acid (H 2 CO 3 ). in the direction of 7.0,

Scientists Have Now Linked Worsening Western Wildfires to Top Polluters

DeSmogBlog

New research for the first time links wildfire risks and impacts in western North America to carbon emissions traceable to the world’s largest fossil fuel and cement companies. Previous studies have quantified the share of increasing average temperatures, rising sea levels , and ocean acidification attributable to major industrial emitters.
