Carbon Dioxide Removal Must Be Scaled Responsibly. But What Does That Mean? alicia.cypress… Mon, 03/17/2025 - 08:40 Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) has grown from a little-known concept to a fast-growing field in the last several years. Beyond the climate benefits from removing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere, many CDR approaches may also benefit people and the environment, like creating jobs to boosting soil health or reducing local ocean acidification. However, CDR projects can also come with unintended consequences or negative impacts, so robust governance frameworks must be in place to minimize any damages.Comprehensive and fit-for-purpose governance frameworks are needed, for example, so that oil and gas industries don’t rely on CDR to justify their continued fossil...

Most people don’t know IRIS, as the program is called, but it is the scientific engine of the agency that protects human health and the environment. Its scientists assess the toxicity of chemicals, estimating the amount of each that triggers cancer and other health effects. And these values serve as the independent, nonpartisan basis for the rules, regulations and permits that limit our exposure to toxic chemicals. Now IRIS faces the gravest threat to its existence since it was created under President Ronald...

Rainfall in Bahía Blanca led to 10 deaths, swept away vehicles, destroyed bridges and left areas underwater The city of Bahía Blanca in Argentina had a new rainfall record on Friday, after a recent heatwave. More than 400mm (15.7in) of rain was recorded in just eight hours, more than twice the city’s previous record of 175mm set in 1930, and roughly equivalent to a year’s worth of rainfall. The heatwave primed the atmosphere for heavy rainfall by creating high instability and raising humidity levels.
