3) Anthea from Blue Bear Wood talks about the gas released from a baking soda and vinegar reaction and shows us how to use the carbon dioxide to blow up a balloon and put out a candle.

This relates to the whole area of development for people talking about biofuels, which is this idea of trying to develop replacements for the conventional sorts of fossil fuels that we have to at least — if we are going to be burning some sort of hydrocarbons of some kind — to try to get them [so] that they are being derived from a different source, and potentially or ideally, ones that would actually burn without delivering as much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere too; that's great if you can get that.

But talking about 2020 is crucial to climate scientists, who see quick emission cuts as important as the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere in four decades.

These are just a few obvious examples, but because the future Fox News pundit was talking about climate change let's consider something that is indisputable: the measured rise of carbon dioxide in the earth's atmosphere is numerically consistent with that predicted from the output of human industrial activity.

When people talk about climate change, the focus is often on carbon dioxide, and for good reason.

ExxonMobil talks about (and even quantifies) its efficiency improvements, but there is no mention whatsoever in the article of some of the basic stats of the much larger ExxonMobil carbon - dioxide picture.

First, we talked about revived interest in mass transportation, about the different roles and responsibilities of local communities and the federal government, and about what opportunities and hurdles face the next president, even as both candidates have pledged to cap carbon dioxide and pursue an effective climate treaty.

Doubling of atmospheric carbon dioxide is an oft - talked - about threshold, and today's climate models include accepted values for the climate's sensitivity to doubling.

Maybe if we had kept on talking about adding carbonic acid to the air (instead of using the modern vocabulary whereby we add carbon dioxide to the air), we would have been talking all along about ocean uptake of carbonic acid and ocean acidification would have been an obvious consequence.

Fourthly, when talking about becoming «Carbon - free» or «Carbon Neutral» or reducing our «Carbon Footprint» let's just bear in mind that from a scienitifc viewpoint — what is really being talked about is CARBON DIOXIDE.

But triggering an algae bloom is also a way to suck carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, and along with spewing particles into the stratosphere to block some of the sun's heat, it's one of the main techniques geoengineers talk about using if efforts to limit those emissions ultimately fail.

Anderson's colleagues now give short talks connecting the aquarium's central exhibit about coral reefs with information about ocean acidification — the result of carbon dioxide building up in the oceans that is a major threat to marine life.

I talk about how when we burn fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas for our energy, it releases carbon dioxide (CO2) into our air supply.

When we talk about climate change, we're talking about the scientifically observable — and increasingly severe — changes in global climate patterns that became apparent in the mid-to-late twentieth century and can be attributed to the rising levels of atmospheric greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, in particular) produced by human activities like burning fossil fuels.

There's some good news as climate negotiators prepare for the COP23 climate talks, beginning in Germany on November 6th: Global carbon dioxide emissions from energy production and industry were flat for the third year in a row in 2016, at about 35.8 gigatons.

That's what two men named David thought, too, when they first met in 2008 to talk about a climate policy with very little support: a national tax on industrial carbon dioxide emissions.

Nor did they talk about the long history of research connecting carbon dioxide and climate dating back to the 1800s.

«We're uncertain about the magnitude of climate change, which is inevitable, because we're talking about reaching levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere not seen in millions of years.

In 2006 I went to a talk by a physical chemist who talked about how mass and heat transport are coupled: you can't calculate the flux of carbon dioxide from water to atmosphere and vice versa just by looking at the concentrations, you need to know the relative temperatures too.

Professor Slingo: Our view in the Met Office on geo - engineering activities - and we are talking principally here about solar management, so stratospheric aerosols, cloud seeding and so forth - is that we understand very well now that even the very simple forcing of the global system, which we have done through carbon dioxide, has huge regional ramifications and the same would be true with geo - engineering.

And at that point, you really aren't talking about climate sensitivity any more since climate sensitivity would hold the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere constant.

Christophe Jospe, Chief Strategist at the Center for Negative Carbon Emissions at Arizona State University, talks about reducing carbon dioxide emmissions.
