Negative-Emission Technologies Could Help Remove CO2 from the Atmosphere

Adverse effects of cumulative emissions of greenhouse gases at constant increasing rates have been predicted by climate researchers. The fact that any solution will require sharp decreases in emissions from sources like coal-fueled power plants and automobiles has been accepted by professionals.

Study: Can Artificial Photosynthesis Limit Global Warming?

CO2 emissions have to be reduced as soon as possible. If not, CO2 will have to be removed from the atmosphere in the future to lower global warming. Planting new forests and biomass, as well as new technologies for artificial photosynthesis, could be contributing factors to this.
