COPEMISH, Mich. - Redwoods and sequoias towering majestically over California's northern coast. Oaks up to 1,000 years old nestled in a secluded corner of Ireland. The legendary cedars of Lebanon. They are among the most iconic trees on Earth, remnants of once- vast populations decimated by logging, development, pollution and disease. A nonprofit organization called Archangel Ancient Tree Archive is rushing to collect their genetic material and replant clones in an audacious plan to restore the world's ancient forests and put them to work cleansing the environment and absorbing carbon dioxide, the greenhouse gas largely responsible for global warming.

According to data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the National Space Administration, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and other credentialed researchers, there is no question the atmosphere is holding a record concentration of carbon dioxide and that the atmosphere, land surfaces and oceans have reached record average temperatures. The temperature gain is fully predictable, since Carbon dioxide blocks the escape of radiated heat back into space. This is the so-called greenhouse effect. NOAA data show an unprecedented increase of Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of more than 23 percent in the past 50 years, making the atmospheric concentration of Carbon dioxide greater by one-third than it was around 1850, and more than 30 percent higher than at any...
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. - Developers behind the long-running FutureGen project said Monday carbon dioxide generated by a western Illinois power plant they plan to refit with experimental low-emissions coal technology will be pumped into the ground at a nearby site for underground storage. The companies working with the Department of Energy on FutureGen said they'd chosen a spot in Morgan County over three competing sites around the state in part because it was by far the closest to the Ameren Corporation-owned plant in Meredosia, Ill. They say that could save up to $250 million in pipeline construction costs on a project now budgeted at $1.3 billion.
