The race is on to create a biofuel that effectively sucks
carbon out of the sky and locks it away where it can't warm the planet, says Bob Holmes

the carbon out of the skies or magically turn down the heat of the sun.

of the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris, nine international business leaders from Aviva, The Dow Chemical Company, Dynamic Parcel Distribution (DPD), The Edge Picture Company, Fuji Xerox, Raptim Humanitarian Travel, La Macioche &
Sky Television, came together to speak
out about why they take action offsetting
carbon emissions.
You may wonder why the government finds the need to pursue such action since 1) U.S.
carbon dioxide emissions have already topped
out and have generally been on the decline for the past 7 - 8 years or so (from technological advances in natural gas extraction and a slow economy more so than from already - enacted government regulations and subsidies); 2) greenhouse gases from the rest
of the world (primarily driven by China) have been
sky - rocketing over the same period, which lessens any impacts that our emissions reduction have); and 3) even in their totality, U.S.
carbon dioxide emissions have a negligible influence on local / regional / global climate change (even a immediate and permanent cessation
of all our
carbon dioxide emissions would likely result in a mitigation
of global temperature rise
of less than one - quarter
of a degree C by the end
of the century).
