Canada's 2023 wildfires released more greenhouse gases than most countries

Canada's wildfires released more greenhouse gases than several top-emitting countries, challenging reliance on forests as effective carbon sinks.

How do you get enough protein in a climate-friendly way?

Meat production contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions.
Reducing global beef consumption can have a positive impact on deforestation.

What is carbon capture and storage? DW 02/06/2024

Carbon dioxide concentrations are 50% higher than 200 years ago due to human activity.
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) can prevent excess carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere.

The plants that could clean up Britain's air, revealed

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a major contributor to global warming and is primarily released from burning fossil fuels and cement production.
Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and sulfur dioxide (SO2) are also greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change and air pollution.
Particulate matter refers to tiny solid or liquid materials in the air, such as dust and chemicals, and is measured in micrometres.

Editorial: Chicago should cool down on banning natural gas in new buildings and let this be debated statewide

Mayor Brandon Johnson and allies have introduced an ordinance to ban natural gas in most newly constructed buildings.
There is a debate on whether the ban should be decided at the state level rather than the city level.
