Until humans can find a way to geoengineer ourselves out of the climate disaster we’ve created, we must rely on natural carbon sinks, such as oceans and forests, to suck carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. These ecosystems are deteriorating at the hand of climate change, and once destroyed they may not only stop absorbing carbon from the atmosphere, but start emitting it.

A new study has found that a technology called CO2Rail could be used to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere on a large scale, helping to mitigate climate change. CO2Rail is a system that captures carbon dioxide from the air and stores it in containers on trains. The team behind the study estimates that each CO2Rail car could harvest 6,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year. With its sustainable power requirements supplied by train-generated sources, the technology is projected to be commercially viable. If widely adopted, CO2Rail could become the largest provider of direct air capture deployments in the world. To read more, use the button below to open the original external article.

With climate change becoming an increasingly pressing global issue, the question of how to finance the shift to cleaner energy sources is crucial. Many economists believe that rising interest rates will not present a significant barrier to this transition, despite the high level of investment required. This is encouraging news for those working to combat climate change, as it suggests that the necessary steps can be taken without impeding economic growth.

In the immediate aftermath of a disaster, organizations like WHO and the Red Cross work to provide clean water and sanitation facilities for affected populations to prevent waterborne illnesses. They also coordinate with hospitals and healthcare centers to ensure they have enough supplies, including vaccines, to treat injured or ill victims. But even beyond these direct steps, Brennan says initiatives such as creating early warning systems can have a big impact on limiting death tolls from disasters in general. That includes both physical systems—such as weather satellites—and social systems that alert communities to impending danger and help them evacuate before it’s too late. These types of solutions require coordination between governments, scientists, and communities themselves, but they can save countless lives in the face of natural disasters.
