The burning of fossil fuels is the primary driver of the climate crisis, accounting for over 80 percent of global carbon dioxide emissions. The extensive scientific modeling of future harms and ...

Trees would have to be planted on a vast proportion of global land mass to offset the carbon dioxide emissions from burning ...

In theory, planting trees can wipe away the carbon cost of burning fossil fuels. But a new peer-reviewed analysis shows just ...

Planting trees can help save the planet, right? A new study finds that to offset all the planet-warming carbon emissions from fossil fuel reserves, trees would have to entirely cover an area the size ...

U.S. fossil fuel exports – including coal, oil, gas and refined fuels – led to over 2 billion tons of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions in other countries in 2022, according to a calculation ...
