Carbon dioxide reached a high in 2020 that hasn’t been recorded since in 3.6 MILLION years ago

Carbon dioxide levels saw a surge in 2020 to the highest since the mid-Pliocene era 3.6 million years ago. During this prehistoric time period, sea level was about 78 feet higher and the Earth’s temperature was about 7 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than our modern-day world. The year-over-year rise in CO2, 2.6 parts per million, is one … Read more

Bizarre ‘spiders’ on Mars are made by carbon dioxide vapor escaping from cracks in polar ice

The Spiders from Mars isn’t just the name of David Bowie‘s backing band in the 1970s—it’s the nickname given to mysterious formations on Mars that resemble creepy black arachnids. These ‘araneiforms’ (Latin for ‘spider-like’) were first observed 20 years ago, but astronomers have finally determined they’re caused by carbon dioxide vapor escaping from cracks in … Read more

Comet Catalina suggests icy visitors may have been sources of carbon on Earth

During the earliest years of planet Earth, as our world was still forming, icy comets were essential sources of carbon that may have kick-started life, a new study claims. University of Minnesota astronomers have taken infrared observations of Comet Catalina, a comet that visited our solar system in 2016, to undertand whether comets played a … Read more

Fish poop generates 1.65 BILLION tons of carbon in the ocean that helps regulate water levels

Fish poop, breath and other excretions produce over a billion tons of carbon every year, according to a new study. That’s more than 15 percent of all the carbon in the ocean, the planet’s largest active carbon ‘sink,’ or absorber of carbon dioxide. That makes fish an important component of the carbon cycle, researchers say, … Read more
