Throughout almost all of human history, heat waves have been driven by natural variability, or the tendency for weather patterns to occasionally deviate from their typical patterns.

By staying out of the atmosphere, greenhouse gases can warm the planet and prevent further fossil fuel use. But not all carbon capture projects offer the same economic and environmental benefits. In fact, some may make climate change… Read More »
