So roughly five liters of air per breath, 17 breaths per minute of the 525,600 minutes per year, comes to approximately 45 million liters of air, enriched 100 times in carbon dioxide, just for you.
Eighty-five to 95 percent of species at this time die out, and simultaneous to that is a huge, dramatic spike in carbon dioxide, that a lot of scientists agree comes from a simultaneous eruption of volcanoes and a runaway greenhouse effect.
Its warming potential is 24,000 times that of carbon dioxide, and it has that longevity of 12 to 16 generations.
And it's good for the planet, too: the trees absorbed carbon when they were growing up, and they gave off oxygen, and now that carbon is trapped inside the walls and it's not being released into the atmosphere.
Um, have you heard of carbon monoxide poisoning?"
They brought their carbon monoxide detector, and the man said, "It's a really good thing that you called us tonight, because you could have been dead very soon."
And also, please have a carbon monoxide detector in your home.
It's got the huge advantage that it does not create carbon pollution.
My team hypothesized that we could use the carbon that's already in Styrofoam to create activated carbon, which is used in almost every water filter today.
And activated carbon works by using very small micropores to filter out contaminants from water or even air.
With the right temperatures, times and chemicals, we finally got that successful test result showing us that we had created activated carbon from Styrofoam waste.
And moreover, not only were we able to create activated carbon for purifying water, but we were also able to reduce Styrofoam waste, solving two global problems with just one solution.
And they do one or more of three things: replace existing fossil fuel-based energy generation with clean, renewable sources; reduce consumption through technological efficiency and behavior change; and to biosequester carbon in our plants' biomass and soil through a process we all learn in grade school, the magic of photosynthesis.
That represents the total equivalent carbon dioxide reduced from the atmosphere when the solution is implemented globally over a 30-year period.
Protecting forests and wetlands safeguards, expands and creates new carbon sinks that directly draw down carbon.
But they were replaced by HFCs, which are hundreds to thousands of times more potent a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide.
We can think of trees as giant sticks of carbon.
This is drawdown in action every year, as carbon is removed from the atmosphere through photosynthesis, which converts carbon dioxide to plants' biomass and soil organic carbon.
Regenerative agriculture, on the other hand, restores soil health and productivity, increases yield, improves water retention, benefits smallholder farmers and large farming operations alike and brings carbon back to the land.
Regenerative agriculture, managed grazing, agroforestry, silvopasture restores soil health, benefits farmers and brings carbon back to the land.
Did you know that the oceans have absorbed 25 percent of all of the carbon dioxide that we have emitted to the atmosphere?
Now this is just another great service provided by the oceans since carbon dioxide is one of the greenhouse gases that's causing climate change.
But as we keep pumping more and more and more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere more is dissolving into the oceans.
When carbon dioxide dissolves in seawater, it undergoes a number of chemical reactions.
But I'll tell you as more carbon dioxide enters the ocean, the seawater pH goes down.
This figure is an important time series in Hawaii, and the top line shows steadily increasing concentrations of carbon dioxide, or CO2 gas, in the atmosphere.
The line underneath shows the increasing concentrations of carbon dioxide that is dissolved in the surface of the ocean which you can see is increasing at the same rate as carbon dioxide in the atmosphere since measurements began.
As more carbon dioxide has entered the ocean, the seawater pH has gone down, which basically means there has been an increase in ocean acidity.
Unless we can start slowing down our carbon dioxide emissions, we're expecting an increase in ocean acidity of 170 percent by the end of this century.
We have already put too much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
