Drastic reduction of carbon emissions may not be enough to avert the damage caused by global warming, according to Rajendra Pachauri , Chief of Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
Drastic reduction of carbon emissions may not be enough to avert the damage caused by global warming, according to Rajendra Pachauri , Chief of Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
According to a report in The Times, Dr Pachauri proposed that new techniques should be applied to help to mop up atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) that have been pumped into the atmosphere from the burning of fossil fuels.
A Possible Fallout of Global Warming May be Civil War in Africa
A new study led by a team of researchers at University of California, Berkeley, US, has suggested that climate change could increase the likelihood of civil war in sub-Saharan Africa

Dr Pachauri raised the prospect of so-called geo-engineering, whereby CO2 is actively stripped from the atmosphere.
A range of techniques have been proposed, including seeding artificial clouds over oceans to reflect sunlight back into space, sowing the oceans with iron ore to boost plankton growth and using carbon capture and storage technology to fix emissions from power stations.

About 27 billion tonnes of pure CO2 are pumped into the atmosphere every year - equivalent to 7.3 billion tonnes of pure carbon.

Giving Up Beef Can Drastically Slow Down Global Warming!
Reports say India has urged Western countries to stop eating beef in order to cut greenhouse emissions.

Even if radical cuts were adopted by world governments in Copenhagen and adhered to, the lowest level at which they could be expected to stabilise is 450 ppm, according to scientists.
