A new study says it’s time to start recycling anesthetics
What a time to be alive.

Atmospheric CO2 levels this year could reach 150% of those before the Industrial Revolution
Seriously guys we can’t risk things so soon after 2020.
Wetter, warmer soils will intensify climate change
Warmer, wetter tropical soil increases microbial activity -- which belch out CO2.
Wooden buildings could help stabilize the climate
It all depends on where we get the timber, though.
More atmospheric CO2 could reduce cognitive ability, especially in children
Students could see a 50% decline in cognitive capacity by 2100 if CO2 emissions don't drop.
Carbon emission growth rates go down, overall emissions reach record highs (again)
"When the good news is that emissions growth is slower than last year, we need help," the researchers explain.
New capture technology scrubs atmospheric CO2 on the cheap
Saving money and saving the environment are my two favorite things.
New material selectively captured CO2 molecules and turns them into useful products
Propeller-shaped molecules trap CO2, which can then be used to manufacture useful organic materials.
Mosquitoes hunt first by smell, then by eyesight
They track the CO2 you breathe out.
The Earth has room for a trillion more trees — which might be our best bet against climate change
A new study shows that there's still plenty of room for almost a billion hectares of forest.
The military is the largest emitter in the US Gov’t — in fact, it’s the world 55th largest polluter
War isn't clean, it would seem.
May 2019 sets new record for highest average atmospheric CO2 levels in history
Please, tell me again how this has nothing to do with emissions.
New method of CO2 capture is cheaper, more effective, and “a key step toward closing the carbon loop”
This process might finally allow for commercially-viable CO2 recycling.
Researchers create fuel from water, CO2, and artificial photosynthesis
The technology isn't yet ready for the market -- but it's not far off, either.
One research team proposes swapping atmospheric methane for CO2, and it might be a good idea
It's not the best solution, but it could help.
Atmospheric CO2 reaches record 415ppm — the highest it’s been in millions of years
Not the kind of record we want.
Iceland researchers trap CO2 into rocks — but there’s a catch
This could be a big part of the battle against climate change.
New paper proposes we use air conditioners to make fuel out of thin air
Feasible or not, it's still an interesting idea.
Climate change may make the oceans belch out CO2, study warns
Oh, how the waters have turned.
New process could capture CO2 and make it coal again
"Poetic justice" comes to mind.
