Carbon dioxide removal uses pyrolysis technology, which transforms organic material into biochar, sequestering carbon that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere.
The World Meteorological Organization's report said long-term global warming is currently estimated to be between 1.34 and 1.41 degrees Celsius compared to the 1850-1900 baseline.
Researchers analysed data from 10 global regions & found ecosystems such as coastal wetlands take up atmospheric CO2, convert it into new leaves, roots and other organic matter.
World Meteorological Organisation's annual report showed that hikes in the atmospheric concentration all 3 greenhouse gases -CO2 , methane and nitrous oxide - are at new record levels.
James Webb Space Telescope detected carbon dioxide in WASP-39b’s atmosphere four years after Hubble and Spitzer confirmed large quantities of water vapour in the same planet’s air.
If civilisation stopped its carbon dioxide-emitting activities today, it would still take many hundreds of years for the concentration of carbon dioxide to normalise.
