Toshiba Corporation today announced an ambitious upward revision of its goal for contributing to global carbon dioxide emission reductions that more than doubles its initial target and takes it up to 117.7 million tons a year by FY2025.

A group of scientists has lately revealed an illustrative example of carbon dioxide emissions and their consequences. They devised animated maps and applied data to picture the influence of human industrial life upon the atmosphere of our planet.

While solar power and hybrid cars have become popular symbols of green technology, Stanford researchers are exploring another path for cutting emissions of carbon dioxide, the leading greenhouse gas that causes global warming.
