Analysis of drill cores links variations in CO2 40M years ago to changes in global temperatures; questions as to the source of CO2

Green Car Congress

The study was led by scientists at Utrecht University, working with colleagues at the NIOZ Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research and the University of Southampton. However, scientists were previously unable to demonstrate tight-coupling between variations in atmospheric carbon dioxide and shorter-term changes in global climate.

Study suggests that decarbonizing US transport sector by converting waste CO2 to fuels would require economical air-capture of CO2

Green Car Congress

Kreutz presented the paper at the 10 th International Conference on Greenhouse Gas Control Technologies ( GHGT-10 ) earlier this fall in The Netherlands. Kreutz used what he called a bifurcated climate regime—i.e., Note that the climate benefit is independent. However, in the post-CCS regime, if CCTF employs captured CO 2.
