(Source: Daily Beast) In an apocalyptic report, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)—a United Nations agency focused on climate change—warned the world the planet has 12 years, or until 2030, to reverse global warming. Without drastic change, the Earth is on track to see average temperatures rise by almost 5 degrees C by 2100. That’s far beyond the 2 degrees scientists consider the plausible goal to contain global warming. Reaching that target requires significant carbon emission reductions to reach a net output of zero by 2030. And it’s not just that: We need a method to remove future greenhouse gases from the air, operating as a kind of air filter for the atmosphere. Read full article…
