Upcoming Developments in International Governance of Marine Carbon Dioxide Removal

Law Columbia

First, in 2008, the parties adopted a resolution dealing specifically with ocean fertilization. The 2008 resolution and 2010 assessment framework are not legally binding. Solar radiation management is distinct from CDR. environmental disturbance would be minimized and the scientific benefits maximized.”

Cosmic challenge: protecting supercomputers from an extraterrestrial threat

Physics World

The impact of cosmic radiation is not always as trivial as determining who wins a Super Mario game, or as positive in its outcome. On 7 October 2008 a Qantas flight en route from Singapore to Australia, travelling at 11,300 m, suddenly pitched down, with 12 passengers seriously injured as a result. Courtesy: STFC/CNR).

New method predicts ‘stealth’ solar storms before they wreak geomagnetic havoc on Earth

Frontiers

This could help put measures in place that limit damage to technology and energy grids on Earth from the electromagnetic radiation. Palmerio and collaborators looked at four stealth CMEs that occurred between 2008 and 2016. nm) captured by the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly instrument on board NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory.

Degradation of coastal regions in the Pacific Islands

Our Environment

Greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide are great absorbers of heat radiation coming from the Earth’s surface. The addition of heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere and their effect on global temperature also strengthens existing climatic patterns, such as cyclones, floods, droughts and heatwaves. should be.

Late Night Dumping II: Conventional Oil & Gas Wastewater Dumping Continues On Roads, This Time With Bigger Trucks; New Research On Harmful Wastewater Impacts

PA Environment Daily

Penn State also found from 2008 to 2014, spreading O&G PW [oil and gas wastewater] on roads released over 4 times more radium to the environment than O&G [oil and gas] wastewater treatment facilities, and 200 times more radium than spill events. Read more here. Read more here.

The ITLOS Advisory Opinion and Marine Geoengineering: More Questions, Few Answers

Law Columbia

The first, known as greenhouse gas (GHG) removal , seeks to mitigate climate change by pulling GHGs – most commonly carbon dioxide – out of the atmosphere and durably storing them. The second category of marine geoengineering activities, known as solar radiation management or modification (SRM), do not directly target GHGs.

More Than 60 Environmental Groups, Green Party Of PA Oppose Road Dumping Of Oil & Gas Drilling Wastewater On Rural PA Roads

PA Environment Daily

Using the wastewater for dust control and deicing of roads is another disposal method that introduces radiation and other dangerous elements into our environment. In addition, fracking results in the release of methane into the atmosphere, a major contributor to the greenhouse effect and climate change. Fracking needs to stop!”
