Eco Factor: Engineer builds new glaciers from melt-water. We often read that the rise in pollution that enhances global warming is having a catastrophic impact on glaciers, which are quickly melting away. A retired engineer is waging his own...

Eco Factor: Converting the Sahara into a vast, shady forest would help curb global warming. Geoengineering schemes by futurist scientists may sound absurd sometimes and technically challenging at other times. However, all these approaches show a...

Eco Factor: Making artificial clouds to prevent the sun’s rays from heating the planet. Climate change is a result of rapid industrialization and our quest to possess the latest in technology, which only came after emitting tremendous amounts of...

Eco Factor: Self-sufficient habitat to house global warming refugees underground. With the increase in greenhouse gases and the continuous emissions of harmful gases to suffice the planet’s need for energy and technology, global warming does...

Eco Factor: Newly discovered bowl-shaped molecule could refine carbon capture systems. Though the actual research being conducted by Maryland scientists wasn’t to find out ways to help the planet, the result did surprise one and all. J.A....

Eco Factor: Adding lime to oceans would reduce their acidity and enable them to soak up more CO2. While curbing emissions still remains the best possible way to stop global warming or at least reduce its impact, researchers all over the globe are..

Eco Factor: Industry giants pledge to reduce the use of plastic bags in order to reduce toxic plastic waste. Plastic bags are jeopardizing both humans and wildlife in a big way. The one-time-use poly bags are discarded within 20 minutes of...

Eco Factor: Synthetic trees to capture CO2 from the air and convert it into liquid CO2. Research scientists at the Department of Earth and Environmental Engineering at Columbia University have come up with an ingenious idea to capture atmospheric..

Eco Factor: Real-time CO2 counter encourages people to curtail emissions. Deutsche Bank, a name not directly related to environmental conservation, has lit a seven-story LED sign that counts the amount of greenhouse gases present in the atmosphere.

Eco Factor: Solar-generating roofs coated with reflective tiles to reduce solar gain. Recently news surfaced that painting the world white would help curb global warming as white homes and buildings would reduce solar gain, hence require lesser...
