Current & Historical Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Levels Graph

See how levels have never been higher with this fully interactive CO2 graph featuring current & historical CO2 levels and global temperatures. A project by the 2 Degrees Institute.

Re-wetting is key for boosting carbon dioxide storage in southern peatlands, finds study

Maintaining a water level between 20 and 30 centimeters below the local water table will boost southern peatlands' carbon storage and reduce the amount of climate-warming carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane they release back into the atmosphere during dry periods by up to 90%, a new Duke University study finds.

Study suggests rise in global photosynthesis rate due to increase in carbon dioxide has slowed

A team of Earth scientists at the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Science's Grassland Research Institute, working with colleagues from several institutions in the U.S., has found evidence that the rise in photosynthesis rates around the world caused by the increase of carbon dioxide, has slowed dramatically. In their research, reported in the journal Science, the group measured changes in global photosynthesis rates over the past several decades.

Imaging shows how solar-powered microbes turn carbon dioxide into bioplastic

When considering ways to sustainably generate environmentally friendly products, bacteria might not immediately spring to mind.

Using cyanobacteria to convert carbon dioxide into glucose

Glucose is the most abundant monosaccharide, serving as an essential energy source for cells and as an important feedstock for the biorefinery industry. The plant-biomass-sugar route dominates the current glucose supply, while it is influenced by multiple parameters, such as plant-cultivation cycles, biomass-collection radius, and pre-treatment costs.

New model shows global warming accelerates carbon dioxide emissions from soil microbes

When microorganisms decompose organic material in the soil, they actively release CO2 into the atmosphere. This process is called heterotrophic respiration. A novel model shows that these emissions could surge by up to 40% by the end of the century—most significantly in the polar regions.
