And my editor at the time did not have quite the same sense of fun that I do — she let the air out of the story — so the piece, I felt, was not able to capture the true joys and surprises of flatulence research.

New research shows that birds precisely time when they flap their wings and position themselves in aerodynamic optimal positions, to maximize the capture of upwash, or «good air», throughout the entire flap cycle, while avoiding areas of downwash or «bad air».

The research, led by the Royal Veterinary College, University of London, proves for the first time that birds precisely time when they flap their wings and position themselves in aerodynamic optimal positions, to maximise the capture of upwash, or «good air», throughout the entire flap cycle, while avoiding areas of downwash or «bad air».

In the near term, federal policy could: i) level the playing field between air captured CO2 and fossil - fuel derived CO2 by providing subsidies or credits for superior carbon lifecycle emissions that account for recovering carbon from the atmosphere; ii) provide additional research funding into air capture R&D initiatives, along with other areas of carbon removal, which have historically been unable to secure grants; and iii) ensure air capture is deployed in a manner that leads to sustainable net - negative emissions pathways in the future, within the framework of near - term national emissions reductions, and securing 2 °C - avoiding emissions trajectories.

I started looking for approaches people were considering to actually fix and not just mitigate climate change and eventually found different research being done on direct air capture and other negative emissions strategies.

What is particularly embarrassing for Nature, whose coverage of this issue has been second to none, is that they don't even bother with # 2 — even though they have a full article devoted to geo - engineering (a puff piece by someone who «now participates in scientific research on the topic»), another full article on adaptation, and yet another full article just on capturing CO2 from the air, which even one of its major proponents is quoted as saying is «the most expensive climate - mitigation technology.»

Direct air capture and storage has the merit of being something that can be located near suitable underground storage areas, and needs more funding for research and prototypes at this stage.

That dilute mix is the underlying problem with air capture, in the view of the APS panel, co-chaired by Robert Socolow, professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at Princeton University, and Michael Desmond, an adviser in BP Refining and Marketing's research and technology department.

They appear to capture the reality that near - term health impacts seem to typically be considered more important to citizens than longer - term impacts of any sort, consistent with the vastly greater sums spent on medical care and research than on long - term environmental protection, and within the realm of air quality consistent with an emphasis on SO2 and NOx reductions.
