De belofte van de Verenigde Staten om het kolengebruik in 2035 te beëindigen, is wereldwijd gezien maar een kleine stap. De VS veroorzaken namelijk ongeveer 3 procent van de wereldwijde CO2-uitstoot...

Advanced computer modeling techniques in NASA's Global Modeling and Assimilation Office allow us to disentangle the influences of sources and sinks and to better understand where carbon is coming from and going to svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/5110

NASA Scientific Visualization Studio | Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide Tagged by Source

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the most prevalent greenhouse gas driving global climate change. However, its increase in the atmosphere would be even more rapid without land and ocean carbon sinks, which...
