Ocean acidification is a phenomenon that occurs when the ocean absorbs excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, causing the water to become more acidic. This process is a result of human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation, which have increased the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The Process of …
By Rachel Jaeger Without going beyond zero emissions, it is now nearly impossible to reach the climate goals outlined in the Paris Agreement. To reach zero emissions, we would need to globally eliminate carbon emissions—and at this point, even that’s not enough. Not only are there some sectors where it would be very difficult to …
By Rachel Jaeger Carbon taxes are taxes which set a price on each ton of carbon or other greenhouse gasses that they emit. The goal of a carbon tax is to motivate companies to reduce their carbon footprint. If they change the types of machines that they use, then they will use less carbon, which …
By Achraf El Madnaoui The severity of the climate emergency begs a simple yet fundamental question: what if we could effectively remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere? Researchers, scientists, and environmentalists alike have identified a series of concrete actions we can take to support a more sustainable, environmentally friendly global civilization. A large-scale carbon dioxide …

By Rachel Jaeger If you explored the ocean, you would find everywhere a large, leafy, brown seaweed called sargassum. There are many kinds of sargassum, but all of them have little round structures called pneumatocysts attached to their leafy branches that are filled with oxygen, giving the seaweed buoyancy. It floats on the surface of …

By Michael Mahler With all the talk about global warming and greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere, one of the questions that arises is: “How long does CO2 stay in the atmosphere?” Carbon dioxide can actually stay in the atmosphere anywhere from 300 to 1,000 years. While it is true that this question has somewhat …
By Michael Mahler Lately you might be asking yourself what you can do to be more environmentally aware. Nowadays, it is easier to see how environmentally friendly you are, thanks to carbon footprint calculators. These online tools simplify and accelerate the process of calculating your environmental impact, and de-stress the process. That being said, which …
