Fossil fuel divestment or fossil fuel divestment and investment in climate solutions is an attempt to reduce climate change by exerting social, political, and economic pressure for the institutional divestment of assets including stocks, bonds, and other financial instruments connected to companies involved in extracting fossil fuels.
The timing of trap formation relative to that of petroleum generation and migration is crucial to ensuring a reservoir can form. [ 13 ] Petroleum geologists broadly classify traps into three categories that are based on their geological characteristics: the structural trap, the stratigraphic trap, and the far less common hydrodynamic trap .

A climate spiral (sometimes referred to as a temperature spiral [3] [4]) is an animated data visualization graphic designed as a "simple and effective demonstration of the progression of global warming", especially for general audiences.
GreenFuel Technologies Corporation (GFT) was a startup that developed a process of growing algae using emissions from fossil fuels to produce biofuel from algae.. Based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Greenfuel ceased operations on May 13, 2009, [1] [2] after having raised more than $70 million in investments, citing economic circumstances, and having run out of funds.
Moreover, our knowledge of why CO 2 is changing now (fossil fuel burning) is solid. We also know that CO 2 is a greenhouse gas, and that the carbon cycle feedback is positive (increasing temperatures lead to increasing CO 2 and CH 4 ), implying that future changes in CO 2 will be larger than we might anticipate."
Carbon-based fuel is any fuel principally from the oxidation or burning of carbon.Carbon-based fuels are of two main kinds, biofuels and fossil fuels.Whereas biofuels are derived from recent-growth organic matter [1] and are typically harvested, as with logging of forests and cutting of corn, fossil fuels are of prehistoric origin [2] and are extracted from the ground, the principal fossil ...
An overarching term is carbon pool, which is all the places where carbon on Earth can be, i.e. the atmosphere, oceans, soil, florae, fossil fuel reservoirs and so forth. A carbon sink is a type of carbon pool that has the capability to take up more carbon from the atmosphere than it releases.
In this chapter Epstein relates his view that mainstream media sources, or what he calls the "knowledge system" and "designated" experts have an issue with focusing too much on those "experts" that will cast dire and exaggerated predictions about things such as the climate, environment, fossil fuel stockpiles and known reserves et al. Epstein argues that if you are a scientist that does not ...
