Wetlands, Swamps Climate Defense; Next Pinatubo Geoengineering Test; Ocean Chemistry Change Studies
Wetlands, swamps ‘hold great potential’ to store carbon, fight climate change. Australian researchers are embarking on a project to find out how swamps and wetlands could be used to help fight climate change.
‘Next Pinatubo’ a test of geoengineering. Scientists who study ideas to engineer the climate to mitigate global warming say we should be ready to deploy an armada of instrumentation when Earth has its next major volcanic eruption.
Effort afoot to ramp up study of ocean’s changing chemistry. Members of a multidisciplinary panel tackling the related problems of ocean acidification and low-oxygen zones off the western shore of the continent conceded Sunday they had little to offer yet in the way of solutions beyond what most of us know: We need to dump less carbon dioxide into the air.
