Gene Ontology evidence code used for annotations that are automatically (computationally) assigned to gene products without further human review.
Available reporting and datasets do not show Venezuela as a major controller of the global lithium, cobalt or nickel supply chains; the largest lithium reserves are in the “Lithium Triangle” (Bolivia,...
Human industrial activity emits vastly more CO2 into the atmosphere than volcanoes do on an annual basis; volcanoes can in short bursts match human emission rates for hours or days during very large e...
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the dominant long‑lived greenhouse gas driving recent global warming: energy‑related CO2 reached a record 37.8 Gt in 2024 and atmospheric concentrations hit about 422.5 ppm in ...
Natural gas was widely promoted as a “cleaner” bridge fuel because burning it emits roughly half the CO2 of coal for electricity and helped reduce U.S. power-sector emissions . That framing has weaken...
Control of critical minerals in any single country can create quantity and price risks for EV battery supply chains because processing capacity is geographically concentrated (e.g., China holds ~60% o...
Data centers — including the servers that run AI — are a growing source of electricity demand and emissions, but by most published metrics they remain a small slice of global greenhouse-gas output com...
The 2022 U.S. releases from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR), the largest in modern history, put meaningful additional crude supply into global markets and coincided with temporary declines in oi...
Global CO2 emissions from fossil fuels and cement are projected to hit record highs in 2025 — roughly 38.1 Gt CO2 in some estimates — after rising about 1.1% in 2025 and 0.8% in 2024, according to the...
Renewables are now generally cheaper and rapidly displacing coal in electricity generation: in the first half of 2025 renewables generated 5,072 TWh versus coal’s 4,896 TWh (renewables 34.3% of world ...
Yes — artificial intelligence today contributes to environmental damage, principally through rapidly rising energy use, water consumption and hardware waste from data centres and specialised processor...
The scientific record is clear that the primary cause of recent global warming is human emissions of greenhouse gases from burning fossil fuels—coal, oil and gas—which release CO2 and methane into the...
The IMF’s accounting for “fossil fuel subsidies” in its 2021/2023 work is not a simple tally of government grants or tax breaks but a dual metric that sums explicit price support and much larger impli...
There is no single, uncontested federal “oil and gas subsidy” number for 2023; available reporting shows estimates that range from the tens of billions to well over three-quarters of a trillion dollar...
OPEC and the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) both report “proven” oil reserves but use different reporting chains, definitions and data sources, which produces persistent discrepancies ra...
China’s rare‑earth separation industry is overwhelmingly built on solvent‑extraction (SX) chemistry implemented in multi‑stage flowsheets with tight acidity and process control — a set of techniques t...
A large-scale Venezuelan production recovery — meaning a return from roughly 1.0 mb/d today toward multi‑million barrel capacity backed by investment — would exert clear downward pressure on global cr...
Electric cars now offer measurable environmental and operating-cost advantages over internal combustion vehicles in many markets: lifecycle analyses find battery electric vehicles (BEVs) cut cumulativ...
Crude oil benchmarks are trading in the high-$50s to low-$60s per barrel as of November 21, 2025: TradingEconomics reports a CFD-based U.S. crude (WTI-like) price at $57.77/bbl (down 2.09% that day) a...
The core claim is that Drake Landing Solar Community — launched in 2006 as North America’s first solar-heated residential community — is being decommissioned after years of operation because of , with...
If the United States achieved net-zero emissions today, multiple recent multi-model analyses and international roadmaps conclude the action would , but none of the provided studies quantifies a precis...
