A new report from MIT is linking aeroplanes to deaths… on the ground. The study suggests that aeroplanes flying at their normal altitude (10,000m) are emitting dangerous pollutants that contribute to 8000 deaths a year. More »
Scientists at Columbia University are working on a sort of synthetic tree that aims to capture about 1,000 times as much carbon dioxide as more organic versions. They’re hoping to extend the technology even to heavy-emitting cars and planes. More »
University of Calgary scientists are working on a machine that would pull carbon dioxide from the air in an attempt to scrub out emissions from diffuse sources, such as car exhaust and home heating. These “diffuse emissions” account for roughly half of the CO2 that goes up into the sky every day, contributing to global warming.
