Planets orbiting the Sun-like stars of Alpha Centauri could be carbon-rich worlds with diamonds and graphite littered across their surfaces, say astronomers. So far, astronomers have discovered one confirmed exoplanet (and two strong candidates) orbiting Proxima, but a 2012 “discovery” of a planet orbiting Centauri B was later disproven.

Fossil fuel combustion produces carbon dioxide (CO2), the most abundant global warming pollutant, but also produces local pollutants such as fine particulate matter (PM2.5), nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). which is formed in the atmosphere from precursor gases such as NOx.

Because methane has 28 times the global warming potential of carbon dioxide and a shorter atmospheric life of only 12 years, immediate action to reduce methane emissions —including from agriculture—is critical to slow our warming climate, especially in light of expanding global populations and food demand. 2012 , Bayat et al.,

11] Reducing methane emissions by least 65% below 2012 levels – either through Congressional Legislation or regulation – is necessary to sufficiently safeguard our children’s health from pollution and the growing threats of climate change. Put another way, this leakage amounts to more than 10% of the gas these wells produce.

When fuels are burned to create energy in a process called combustion, black carbon along with carbon monoxide and other compounds are created because there is not enough oxygen in the atmosphere for the reaction to go to completion.

32] Part of the reason the planet is greening stems from greater carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and greater planetary warming.
